Ahh thanks for that. TRD start button for our monograms for 60. I wonder how easy it is to replace. Yeah headlights are good.

Do the DRL mod so they stay on even when the headlights are on.

It takes 5 minutes literally to swap

Thanks... That sounds great and does help a lot. Which dealer in Jacksonville... Coggin?

If my dealer doesn't pull thru, I might have to give them a call.

Ernie Palmer Scion. I know Keith Pierson has a Raven out front. They're definitely out there, but it depends on the color you want. We got a bunch of free accessories from Ernie Palm because of the no hassle Pure Price thing, so we made them throw a bunch of free stuff in, haha.

Yah, I'm just over 500 in my first week. I want to get another 500 soon in so I can finally open it up! I may drive over to a nice mountainous road that is suppose to be a nice drive but not very fast (35mph) (they drove on it on TopGear, Skyline Drive in VA).

I didn't seem to have very many issues trying to find a monogram version as some of you seem to be having :/. For me it was a matter of calling around, finding one in stock, going to look at it, debated if I wanted it in that color, realized other people from 2 hours away looked into the car and decided I wanted it!

Question: How are you able to tell that it is monogram just from passing by it on the road? I didn't think there was a way to tell...

Question #2: The monogram series doesn't have a badge like other scion release series, correct?

The only way to kind of tell is the headlights. They are the hid headlights like the JDM ones or 10 series. Other than that it's all interior. For question 2 you are correct, there are no badges or numbers to distinct it from a normal frs

No badges, but I have claimed my yet-to-be-delivered Monogram as #0017!

Well with the Winjet headlights it's getting harder to tell when passing one on the streets now.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing the chrome version of these headlights in person.
As for seeing the frs in general on the streets... Ah I wish.
O well, makes my ride extra unique on the island lol

I'll probably install this bit on Sunday
Bought the same combo from the same place for my base FRS and still haven't installed the new hand brake yet (it's been over a year) Haha. I did swap out the boot to my monogram tho.

Let me know how hard it is to swap the hand brake

I know it sucks cause you have to buy the whole assembly, but now that you have it can't you just switch out the leather red-stitched handle onto the assembly already installed?

I thought I saw during one of the videos for installing the boot you have to remove the handle anyway.

EDIT: I couldn't find them remove the handle during boot install, but it is done during Cusco Spin Knob (Drift Button Install) video on youtube. But at least you could do so without taking apart a majority of the center console.
