lol might as well ask them to drop in the secret TRD supercharger while they're at it.

Whatever you decide, just remember that all the RS1.0 had bumper swaps at port. They left Japan with the standard FR-S bumper in yellow, all of which were likely destroyed once at port due to laws/regulations. I understand your frustration with the lies, and the fact that someone bumped the car while in transit. But is there really a difference between having bumper #3 or bumper #2? I would try and get the TRD wheels instead of the gas card (since gas is becoming cheap) and call it a day.

It also very unlikely that the original bumpers, or the RS1.0 bumpers were painted alongside the car. From my experience bumpers are from suppliers. So the paint may never be 100% match however these at least all painted by the suppliers and not your local shop.

^wut this guy said. Know that All the RS 1.0 left factory like standard 86 but in yellow. Everything else is installed at port at Cali.

Friend of mine got reamed for winning a bunch of high-dollar Exxon gas cards and not reporting it on her taxes.

I'm another for saying ask for the TRD wheels. They are ~250 each so its not that different than the gas card but IMO much worth it. The car just looks wrong with the stock wheels.

OP didn't win anything. This card would be part of his purchase, not income.

In talks to get TRD wheels but honestly after the warranty is up in this car I'm swapping out a bunch of stuff for carbon fiber later. I intend on keeping the car

Hoping for good things for you but would really be surprised if they do the wheels since they would need to provide different tires too.

No go on the tires. Just taking the gas card. They are swapping a bumper now and they gave me an eta of less than two weeks due to stupid Hawaiian stuff. It'll prob be ready next week.

Ouch that really is a shame, I hope everything works out for you.
Really is just bad luck, Damage could happen any day when it comes to transport. I manage a scion department and that would be my worst nightmare on a release series. It can be easily fixed, Would have been nice if the dealer was honest with you from the start and they probably wouldn't need to compensate you with anything

that's what you get for wanting a rs

Er what the fuck does that mean. Be less of a tool please.

You haven't signed any paperwork, why would the dealership go through all this trouble when they can swap the bumper out and just sell it with a new bumper? Take what you can get and stop pinching pennies.
