I 100% agree with you... If I bought a special edition car I wouldn't be able to have fun in it... My BRZ has rock chips everywhere before I tracked it and after my first track day I had 4 major chips on the right side idk how but all past primer and one chip that even removed some metal But I dont really care because I bought it to have fun in...

Other than that.. I know nothing!
That sounds awful.

I'll say this about myself. I'm a rather strange one when it comes to cars. I like the idea of making a car "super stock" or "super normal". That is to say, I like modding cars with sporty items made by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's tuning shop. Spoon and Mugen for Honda, Nismo, for Nissan, sti, or SPT for Subaru, etc.

I ultimate goal is a build a hybrid JDM/USDM FR-S.

-It would keep the Scion Badges
-Have the TRD AREO
-TRD brakes
-TRD calipers
-Full-length Ride Adjustment Suspension Set (40-way Damping Adjustment)
-Stabilizer Set (Front & Back)
-TRD Brake Rotors
-TRD Exahust(the one offered by scion)
-TRD Rear Diffuser Set
-TRD Door Stabilizer (pretty much useless but it's the small details)
-TRD carbon Front Strut Tower Bar
-Member Brace Set
-TRD Radiator Cap

from JDM

-the red interior parts from the GT"LIMITED" (sans seats)
-The red-backed cloth seats from the GT
-fog lights (if not offered on the release series)
-headlights

haven't decided on wheels yet.

-either TRD SF2 or TRD TF6(depends on what color the release series is)


My whole point with this car is to build something that I love. something that looks nice to me.

I could care less about fast times and forced induction. I want a car that I can enjoy at speed, enjoy the road in front of me, and the world around me.


I also feel a need for a disclaimer. I don't plan on doing this over a period of months or even a year. I plan on doing this throughout as long as own the car which is to say, i plan on keeping until the day I die. I don't want to hoon around like a yob. just to take it easy. Driving is a joy for me. even if I'm sitting in traffic.

the celica ended production and the zelas took it's place, however the zelas wasn't sold in Japan. it was sold in the mid east, china, and south america.

I want the TRD Aero Kit, minus the spoiler. Actually, I just want the front bit. That's the weakest part of the car's styling in my opinion. I like how the TRD kit accentuates the front air dam and gives it a wider mouthed appearance.

I've read somewhere on a forum (not this forum) that they're strict on release series parts. Something like when they order parts for release series, they need to order with VIN, or something like that to prevent none-release series owners from getting release series parts.

If that's true i can imagine the color will be close to something offered in the lexus line. i mean the only people who have more silvers than lexus is Mercedes.

I personally hope is a blue-ish silver metallic if silver is the special color.
