FRS Interior

The only reason i dont want a frs is because it doesnt have any features like push to start and the center nav. like the brz. I was looking around but couldn't find anyone who has modded their center consul like the brz or better. Just wondering what it would look like and how much it would cost. Any ideas or point in the right direction?

It would probably be difficult to mock the BRZ interior, so why not shell out the cash for the BRZ instead? It'd save yourself time and possibly money for the custom mods it would take to replicate the BRZ's dash and interior. For the BRZ, you even get HID's and LED DRL's.

Check out the link. You could always buy a carbon fiber 3M material and wrap your dash with it. It'd flare things up a bit.

I would second this with the exception of the "carbon" wrap.

If interior is your priority, then the BRZ Limited is where its at if I'm honest.

You could always add a double-din navigation to the FRS, but there have been some fitment issues since the placement for the double-din is wider than usual. So there would be a little gap unless you could do some custom bondo- modding. Honestly, it would be a big PITA though.
Sounds like the BRZ is for you!

Could get an FR-S with Bespoke and download the cell phone app. I've used the nav system on my FR-S like 5 times already lol.

It's pretty easy to use as well

An FR-S with a BRZ console would like like a GT-86.

Agreed. I was ecstatic when I found out that it had BlueTooth pairing. That was more than I expected, honestly. But people have modded the radio:

Not sure what to tell you about push-button start. It's more of a gimmick than anything, but if you really want it, you really should consider just getting a BRZ, because retrofitting everything to work would probably cost more than the difference between the two cars.
