If I had to buy one of the above as is, I would go with the BRZ's aesthetics. I love that spoiler, the side vents look great (I could go without the 86 logo, don't shoot me), and that plasma blue is a color to die for. I'll probably get the FR-S regardless, since most of the parts will be available for both models but it's a close call!

Yes WRB only for Subaru. Orange only for Scion.

Ultramarine for Scion could very well be Galaxy Blue from Subaru. Hard to tell at this point.

BRZ guys want the FR-S/GT86 front bumper....lol.

I reckon it all just depends. I won't be like a must-have item for me. I just think the GT86's headlight led's look stupid so I like the FR-S headlights over it's JDM sibling.

I'm hoping it's an option but if it's only available on the Toyota version, I'm certain we'll see it become a common mod.

I'm either or and w/out LED's it looks ol skool and probably easier to do the black headlight mod.

I just like the color options, front bumper and 86 side logos too much on the Scion to go for the BRZ. I even like the tach of the FR-S better too. The BRZ looks too tame and is trying for an upscale feel on the exterior, that I feel doesn't match the soul of the car.

I'd like to see if the BRZ has more sound deadening, or higher quality materials, but other than trim/I'd doubt it.

At the very least I'm going to do an HID retrofit or buy the BRZ lights, or import some euro GT86 ones.

I don't want the FRS/GT86 bumper. I am 100% happy and satisfied with the BRZ. There are many others on here who are happy with the BRZ as well. :)
