I hope Five Axis releases a widebody kit to make the FT look like the FRS. I'm worried they won't though because look at the sick red tC in the Scion ads. Thats a 5 Axis kit, but it's a one-off.

Yup, that is usually how capitalism works; someone notices there is an interest/demand for something than they go ahead and try to fill in that demand. However, I wouldn't be surprised if 5Axis/another company charged mucho $$$$ for a FR-S knock-off fit based on how well people liked it. Probably would try to make as much money off of it as possible.

^ I don't know specifically what you meant about the TRD Supra widebody kit, but I am assuming it cost $$$ new? I just did a quick google and found it costs about $10k, is that right?

this equals to this but this does not equal to If you think it does, the MK2 must be a "tuned" version of the MK1

MkII -> FR-S: do front bumper, front wide fender, hood, rear wide fenders, rear bumper and diffuser and there's FR-S.

The Dezi MKII and the Five Axis FR-S are mockups from the test prototype (test mule). There isn't any "tuning" involved. It's more like Toyota provided an empty canvas n paint and then asked Dezi and Five Axis to see what they can come up with.
