i think everyone cares too much and mostly a lot of the extra accessories just add too much weight.
who cares about red interior? im more worried about how the car drives rather than some red color i think the FRS was made good except the fact we dont get a wing or the headlights other than that i could honestly care less. throw a few toyota badges and the gt86 logo on it put a wing on it and the head lamps and i think it would be perfect. extra weight means slower in the corners :-P but OP very well made thread for the people who wish to convert parts to make it almost identical. so thumbs up sir. |

I really didnt know where to post this question, so I figured this was the best place, but for the US market, is the BRZ limited currently the closest thing we have to the JDM GT86 Limited?

Yes. GT-86 has lots of other bits, like red pieces and nicer seat options, but otherwise they're very close.

1,190–1,298 kg (2,624–2,862 lb) (Toyota 86) 1,251–1,273 kg (2,758–2,806 lb) (Scion FR-S) It's really not a big deal. Remember also, Toyota designed and tested the car as the Limited. We didn't just miss out on accessories though, we lost out on better brakes, the under car covers which reduce the coefficient of drag. I don't remember where the post was but someone had posted it makes a notable difference in fuel mileage and times. Not to mention the creature comforts, such as heated seats and dual climate control comes in very handy when you live where I do and see -40 multiple times a year. Glad you found the post informative though. Quote:

I'm looking for the GT-86 black leather, red-center seat covers. I see they were referenced in OP, but I must have missed any link to where they can be purchased?
I already have the knee pads and door panels from the GT-86 on the way. Looking to get the steering wheel, e-brake and shift knob. Also the rear seats center leather cover is nice. From the base GT-86 there are black parts that I might try my darnedest to paint-match red, like the door handle cover (typically silver), door levers (typically chrome), circular vents (typically silver), and center console trims. The GT-86 Limited seats would be the final interior touch. Then an FR-S front bumper would be all I needed exterior-wise. |

Someone was selling the steering wheel, e-brake, and shift knob in this forums marketplace section. Not sure if he's still there though. Would like to see pics when you get the conversion done. Edit: I see other talk about the rear seats, if you meant those, they're not heated lol I don't think there's a cover for those either.

Man, I was REALLY hoping you weren't going to say they were the full seats. I was being hopeful, though I suspected they were the same as the BRZ Limited seats. For $3k you can get a pair of GT-86 TRD seats:
I can't imagine swapping to GT-86 Limited seats would be that much cheaper. I've also contemplated have the Alcantara replaced with red Alcantara in my BRZ. Seems cheaper to just un-thread, cut the fabric to size and re-thread. Voila! Red-center Alcantara and dark leather seats! Sounds like an okay idea? And I'll definitely share pics of my GT-86 parts. They JUST shipped today. I just got the notice from nigel-jdmparts.com. I think red handles (outter) and black handles (inner design) are next. You can order the black parts from your local Toyota dealer. |

You might get away with the un-thread and replace, although I don't know enough about that process or the materials (alcantara) to know how workable that is. I suppose if you got a good upholster it should be fine.
