I think its a European only option. I spotted first in a couple of the video reviews from there. It's a 200 Pound option on the Toyota UK site.

It's in this Chris Harris review:

If you like stripes thats fine. But the BRZ stripes remind me of the Suzuki Swift.

Do you think these can be ordered from the uk dealership to the states?

Forget these lame stripes, if they have the time to come up with this they have the time to release a "panda ft86"

There's all kinds of stripes - just to name a few:
1. An army sergeant (E-5) has "stripes".
2. A tiger has stripes.
3. A tiger shark has stripes.
4. A Zebra has stripes.
6. Some fish have stripes.
7. Higher horsepower and other hi-performance cars have stripes.
8. Parking lots have stripes.
9. The American flag has stripes (13).
10. 'Stripes' is a presentation framework for building web applications using the
latest Java technologies.
11. 'Stripes' is the name of a movie (comedy).
12. Highways and roads have stripes.

The above mentioned examples have EARNED their stripes. I don't believe the BRZ has earned its stripes yet.

The content of the photos don't do justice to the quality of the photos.

Optional stripes options. I gotta admit, it looks cooler than I thought it would.

Too much of a poser / douche bag factor. What exactly is the purpose of racing stripes Anyway? Guess I prefer more of a stealth look.

Maybe just one stripe offside from the center.

Only thing I dislike about the racing stripes is the history behind them. Blue with white racing stripes or white with blue racing stripes is traditionally USA's racing colors. Using that color scheme would be like having my FR-S painted in Rosso Corsa, which is Italy's racing color and the kind of red 95% of all Ferraris come in. I'm a stickler for those kinds of things so it's probably just me. It's why I would never consider buying a German car in anything other than silver. LOL
