If the noblesse kit came with a different or modified front bumper that looked more like this concept (even toned down a bit) I'd be all over. Regardless your car looks good man, and great choice on color

You guys do know those press pictures are of the conceptright? There still is no indication that it'll be on a production car.

We'd just have to wait for the announcement.

Yea, welcome to the last two pages :p

EDIT: I do like the updated vents on the inside and the seats though.
Oh and I also like what they did with the moustache up front.

Soooo... let me get this straight... This is just a concept to help SOA sell STI parts ?

Hmmm... So there isn't going to be a lot of cheap low mileage, paint corrected, clear bra wearing, never driven in winter BRZ's on the used car market this year when the fanbois trade up ? Damn

They could keep it stock looking on the outside and just put all the tasty bits underneath, and I'd be ok w/ that

Overall, it is an interesting concept but I'm guessing by the time they (or you, if they don't sell it as a package) add all the bits and parts it would cost enough that I would spend my money on a C7 'Vette instead.

Oh have little doubt that there will still be at least 10 that jump on the "see I told you there was changes coming" or "I think it is a concept" bandwagons! That is just what happens when they don't read beyond the first post.

I think the first was pretty conclusive actually but a verification audit of continuing applicability may have value.

Agreed. But I dont see where they couldve hidden the mechanical key hole in that picture, which tells me its probably gonna stay a concept :\

I also wouldnt want to pay for an entire door just to get new handles

Not sure how SoA could sell those tails here in the States - not legal. They'd need to style them in a way to allow for a rear side marker. EDIT: Looking at more pictures, the tails aren't flush as they first looked in the further off pictures, but stick out like the current ones do. As long as there's a lit sidemarker, they should be good to go.

I like the bumper too - but I don't know that it would work with stock fenders or headlights. The headlight housing looks a little different to me in the pictures, so it may not fit properly, and those fenders look wider.

Here's the 2016 GT86 from toyota's website, if they make this BRZ I would think there would have to be a separate line for the BRZ, 86, FR-S. Time will tell but since it's on the same stage as a race GT86 it's most likely going to be a race version of some sort.

There there's the GT86 - 14R
