Summary of model year changes? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Apologies if I missed it, but is there a post somewhere that summarizes the differences between the different years of the FR-S?

Apart from special additions, Ken Jeong is holding the list...

For the FRS:
'14 touchscreen head unit is standard
'15 two bolts got changed to different diameter flanges and the damping rates supposedly changed

Maybe some minor things I missed but that's the thrust of it.

Here's a spreadsheet with the major differences between FRS/BRZ trims:

For the FRS, they added kneepads for 2014. For 2015 they revised the suspension, added sharkfin antenna, larger exhaust tips, updated carbon fiber dash trim, auto on/off headlamps have been added, and a newly designed key.

I've done most of my research on the brz, so I might have missed some stuff...

Was at dealer the other day and new exhust tips look much better. I wonder if you can buy them and add to older models? Also cost?
