I think the americans have some laws that says they can't have the same exhaust tips that the rest of the world gets.
So the 2015 GT86 will most likely not have that silly looking exhaust of the FR-S.

The dash trim in that first picture isn't bad at all IMO. I'd take that over space invaders

The padding doesn't look great aesthetically (too much red stitching), but I did notice one of my knees was slightly sore after my last 2-day track weekend. If these pads do the job, they could be good for track/autocross guys.

The rest of the changes (shark fin, exhaust tips) I could do without.

OMFG

. Where can I buy this shark fin? Oh wait, is it functional? If it is, it would be way better than my Beatsonic.

I don't listen to radio so this would be a waste to keep it on.

Congrats on your new FR-S!

I coincidently got my FR-S two months ago at Piercey Scion as well.

Yeah, but are the tips smaller or nitpicks? Cause the tips are pretty god damn small.

Now THAT is a hot looking FR-S! (It's a TRD GT86, isn't it)

I actually like all the little addons they added for the 2015. Looks clean!

Yeah, i guess it's something liek that

Well, on another note i prefer getting the silly tiny exhaust as stock and being allowed to put whatever i want on it (aftermarket) afterwards. Cause our laws (here in Belgium) forbid us easily over 50% of all the possible aftermarket exhausts out there & our market is very limited

Anyway... The '15 exhaust is still better then the one from '12-'14 :p
I like it, i'm most curious for the colors! Like the new gray one more then the halo

Thanks, I actually got a BRZ a while ago and still have it! I just wanted to take pictures, because a sales guy told me they just got a 2015 in.

Will the exhaust tips be available as a separate parts purchase? If so, and if not outrageously priced, I might get some for my Monogram.
