It includes everything that deterred me from getting the frs in the first place (gt86 lights, clean HVAC, and push start)
Too bad since the badges illuminate, it'll be hard to change the scion badges to toyota-not to mention the word scion illuminating on the dash.
WRB BRZ here I come

I wonder if we'll be able to purchase the headlights from the parts counter without them asking for our VINs.....

Scion's website breaks it down differently:

2100 xBs
900 iQs
2500 FR-S
3500 tCs
1000 xDs

And, overall, I like what they did with these cars, aside from the illuminated badges. If Scion really wanted to blow people away, make it so you can change the colors

The glowing emblem might be tacky to some, but is is pretty much a signature item from Tom's in Japan. And Tom's is pretty exclusive from what I have seen .

Basically the 10 series FRS is the GT86/BRZ Limited. My first reaction was feeling disappointed that I didn't wait for the 10 series FRS with all the GT86-like extras, but the Silver Ignition and all the light up accessories is definitely a turn off.

To each man/woman their own. I can appreciate the package they put together, but today I am even more happy with my purchase of the Whiteout! 10 series/Silver Ignition welcome to the Scion family!

HID headlamps are nice, but this tacky light-up emblem thing is lame. LAME.

Putting in a weighted shift knob, problem solved.

Every parts counterman in every dealer will ask for your VIN to make sure that the part is applicable. VIN's change as well as parts get superceeded by other parts. But I would assume that you could provide your VIN and still be able to get the lights.

I had to provide a VIN for a Leggacy when I was looking at the Leggy antenna that comes color matched.

Why did they pick such a boring color... sigh...

Also, if there are going to be light up gimmicks there better be rocket launchers too...

Still great to see the new GT86 goodies on it though and hopefully the new BeSpoke works better than the current unit!!!

...ew

The worse possible colour for the FRS.

Only want the headlights.
Hope this means that we will be able to order the HID headlights here at dealers, and it won't be as expensive as ordering online from Europe or Japan.

I love how everyone is panning the color without seeing it in person, in the sun yet. Makes a complete difference. I'll reserve judgement until I can see one in person.

And Please please please, give me the headlights!
