Turning your Premium into a Limited

Admittedly the toggle switches on the Limited are hardly Mini quality, just cheap plastic with a really cheesy feel, but they look OK.

The Limited seems a decent value for $2k - gets you a spoiler, heated and more attractive seats, the better HVAC, door courtesy lights, vanity mirror lights, fogs, proximity key and start button, silver accent trim. Seat upgrades alone can cost $1000-1500 elsewhere.

This is why I'm glad they offered the two different trim levels. Different strokes for different folks. I personally dislike the factory spoiler, prefer cloth interior, and would rather have the base HVAC controls.

If they did a factory delete on the spoiler I might go for it, although from a side view I found the spoiler-free tail end to look like it was missing something - it's a bit severe with its sharp vertical cutoff.

One nice feature of the auto HVAC is you can turn it off and go full manual if that is your preference - best of both worlds.

The primary cloth used in the Premium is certainly a lot nicer than the fuzzy stuff on the FR-S, but they still went with the fuzz for the sides and edges which cheapens the look.

guaranteed that's not all you need, dual zone will need different duct work to separate the zones, wiring harness. (and umpteen tiny pieces nearly impossible to find outside a wrecking yard no doubt)

just realized, looking at it........................Scion space invaders in my Subaru!
