Do you have caps lock in Puerto Rico or do you just like yelling?

The only thing I care about on there is the headlights. This means they will have to stock them in the US for warranty and repair purposes. Hopefully that means that the prices will be a little cheaper than ordering from Japan or Europe.

Hello Scion, just give me the following as upgrades to existing FR-S' and I'll be happy..

HID headlights w/LED daytime running lamps
Smart Key and push-button start

Glowing badges just remind me of the first couple F&F movies. Really cheesy move on Scions/Toyotas part.

let the price gouging begin.

do want, though.

Honestly I was hoping that the 10 year anniversary would be the dismantling of scion and the assimilating all the models into the toyota line thus making the FRS a Gt86. Looks like I'll be staying in my scion and eventually changing the badges.

The glowy bits reek of pepboys imho...then again to each his own.

[SVTSHC]

damnit.... why silver... and why light-up emblems.... and why on earth did they pick such a fancy way of saying "the shift knob glows in the dark".

But damn do I want the headlights, dual zone, and push button. GAH I don't know what to do. I WAS waiting for the release series... am I going to have to go with this?

Autoi.com used to have all the pertinent links to the CVC so you could see for yourself, but their site is heavily changed and mostly empty now.

It is illegal to have a flashing red or blue light for non-emergency vehicles.

If you think this is so then don't come up to WA State with your rice-boi lights:

(4) Blue lights are prohibited on any vehicle other than a law enforcement vehicle as defined in WAC 204-21-010.

The spoiler is now a standard dealer installed option for the FR-S. As for the taillights, I'm not sure if that's just lighting or if they actually do have black surrounds/are smoked.

I was waiting to see what the RS series was going to look like but I think I'll pass. I can live with out the glowing crap and the 50 shades of grey scion is so obsessed with in terms of color. They could have done something like a red pearl, yellow, or a mica green. I'd rather use the 3k they are probably going to charge for the 5 axis kit and wheels.

Works on my iPhone and android... The bespoke app is wack.. The navigation when hooked up to iPhone using the app sucks.. I just use Google nav on my android its way better..

Wing looks nice. Maybe it's an optional extra?
