The exaggerated duck bill transforms the look into something a lot stronger.
Thats not going to fly with everyone. Particularly those looking for a more subtle refined looks. There is a fair bit more 'look at me' with it. I ADORE IT. I cannot wait, and just pray that the AU version gets the same, because I did not see that one the Japanese model. |

Opinions are definitely more mixed than I thought! I quite like the duckbill, especially in white! I think white really works well with the vents and the darker Premium wheels, and with the shape in general.
I'm still reserving judgment for when I get to see the car in person, though! But overall, I'm happy thus far. Can't wait to get this thing on UEL+E85+Tune

I am very pleased with the Powertrain improvements and Aesthetically, the car appeals to a more dynamic design. I agree the First-gen in the Kouki design that it became more unique from other Sports Cars, but I like seeing Aero improvements. My co-workers love the car in Red so I'm now debating if I stick with my original intention for WRB. Fall can't come any sooner as long as Production keeps progressing well! Good news on the OEM market is that Part Sourcing is getting nearly back to typical rates. Less expedites and more demand for labor. |

That what the Left does. If your going catless header, install that, before dropping coin on exhaust. With a tune, there's little gain, and stupid noise, with the header cat gone. I sold my nameless axleback, after the header 7 tune, as it was just too loud. The stock system actually sounds good this way.

The duck bill keeps that component resembling the Supra which is a more expensive car, so probably a good thing. They'll probably reserve the OEM cf offerings for Supra-only during vehicle life.
