There's still a QC sticker with some JDM worker's name on it but kinda ghetto and no longer foil.

Anyway the finish is just as good. I'm guessing it's now Made in Taiwan like a lot of other Enkei models.

That's rather disappointing.

The 18” STI Enkeis on my tS have “made in Japan” cast on the back of one of the spokes.

Okay I will double check that when I take the wheels off in the fall cuz I kept staring at the center portion. Hopefully I'm wrong since your car just came out.

Yea I know but hopefully I'm wrong.

Even the new set of Yokohama Advan Fleva tires I bought are Made in Philippines and not Made in Japan like my Iceguard and previous S,drive sets.

Humm I checked the spokes with a mirror and don't see this Made in Japan engraving. Boo!

Long stretch, but maybe someone knows where to find this, if it’s even available. Changing my interior slowly and trying to find this red vent trim that the ts in japan has.

I’ve been looking for this too... I checked all over Japan parts and never found it.

Dang. Japan gets all the goodies. So hard to find whatever we can.

Imagine back in the day without the Interweb. These days at least there's a possibility that it's readily available for purchase online.

Yep. Better than nothing. I ain’t complaining. Just wish more of the ts items were easier to obtain lol

Last week I saw a BRZ TS with aftermarket wheels, huge wing, & slammed on coilovers. Think about that for a sec.... he basically paid the extra $9000 or so for some chassis bracing and the badge.

I just don't understand

Wow. If I bought a ts I’d keep it just as is with the addition of tint and exhaust and headers.
That just makes no sense to me. Lol

Was it really a tS or just a modified car with a tS badge?

The irony is that if they were easy to get so many would have them and people would no longer think they were cool. The very fact that they are hard to get is what makes them special.
