Switch to Subaru center caps?
 

Obviousaly I have an FR-S but I kind of feel like installing some BRZ center caps that I have. Is this a dumb idea? In my mind the car is a Subaru, but I don't want to look like a clown.

It might look alright, I wouldn't do it tho

FR-S on the outside and BRZ on the inside. Transgender FR-S?

IMO, lame, especially when you explain your reasoning to bystanders.

Trollolol?

Well I decided to go with the subaru ones, though somehow I managed to lose one in the process, so effing mad right now!!!!!

Confusing.

I want to see someone get both rear emblems. So their car says BRZFR-S or FR-SBRZ.

I put Chevy bowtie emblems on mine. When people ask, I tell them it's a GM/Toyota hybrid experimental vehicle for future Mars exploration.

I'm getting the FRS because I like it better than the BRZ. If I was worried about what other people thought of the car I drove I wouldn't be driving a Miata now.

:dnftt:

Too late!!!

It's just center caps its not like you can't just switch back. I personally think it would be kind of funny to see if anyone even noticed.

But whatever... probably just a troll.

I don't know why people thought I was trolling. Anyways I decided to go with the subaru center caps, for some reason they look much better to me. I ended up selling the extra set of OEM wheels and I just threw the scion ones in there so going back is no longer an option. I actually think that instead of getting a toyota badge I will get a subaru one actually.

well at least now it will match the subaru engraving that is on the inside of the trunk.

first time i opened the trunk and looked at that it made me laugh

I know, and the subaru oil filter, subaru brake calipers, and about a million other things. The car really does have an identity crisis and for that, I love it even more.

the car is nothing more than a car. youre the one with the crisis. this kind of reminds me when people discovered the platypus. they all thought it was a freak of nature because it didnt fall in line with the nomenclature that they established.

I don't see why people think it'd be dumb .. the car is a subaru ..
up to you really

:lol: thats great

i think youre confused. the frs is scion. the brz is a subaru

go find a frs
look at every part in the car - SUBARU - the car is 95% subaru.
only difference is the front bumper, color scheme, audio, shock, and suspension

and the debate continues.........

Or FTBRZFR-S86


OP I wouldn't waste money or time changing center caps, Id be spending my time looking for what wheels I want...

lol i think i should try it just for fun. i have all the logos sitting here in my desk. :bonk:

Toyota
Scion
Subaru
GT86
FR-S
BRZ

let me stick them all to my trunk to end the debate! lol

Each is own. I already have the TRD door stiffeners on my BRZ.

youre right. it was pretty ricer of toyota to put scion badges on the frs. maybe subaru should seek legal action since scion is stealing their cars and pawning them off as their own

If the OP wants to support the actual company that built it, let him be real about it

and yes, scion should just die off already.

legal action won't work - its a written agreement between two companies
Yeah, I said it even though you're probably sarcastic.

sounds like you mad, you mad?

I wanna see the Toyota logo overlaid on the Subaru background. So the "T" over the blue and the stars.

that is just downright retarded. if the op wants to "support" subaru, he should have bought a subaru.

i just think its a bit ridiculous to think that people care more about branding than the actual brands in question. saying subaru on it doesnt make it any more or less a subaru. we dont know how much happened and it doesnt matter but toyota would be closer to being the parent company. when you hire an architect or firm, you say that is who built your house. nobody makes the argument that its the contractors project and i dont know why a car is different
im not saying you are this way but its crazy to hear these people have these opinions about things like and then have brand loyalty for things like coilovers that are entirely outsourced.

I understand your argument but you're saying that Subaru had absolutely NO say in the design of the car, they've had plenty considering they made the darn block used to run it.
There was an article that claimed that Toyota went to Subaru for a Front mounted RWD 2.0L and Subaru went on and made the block without any say from Toyota and presented it. - yes its an article, may be true, may be wrong.
Lots of articles going back and forth about it - some claim it was all Suby, some claim it was all Toyota - who cares, it was a joint project.

Also a good number of people don't care about Scion/Toyota branding and would prefer Subaru - so why not - let them stick whatever sticker they want on their car.
Some people just like having the name on their stuff as well, let them be man.
Some want consistency - Everything else says Subaru, so lets make it flush and make it Subaru - sure its expensive but whatever let them do their own thing.

just because i dont agree with you doesnt mean i believe the exact opposite. i never said that subaru had nothing to do with it. my point is that if you want a subaru, buy a brz. if you want the scion, buy the frs. people buying the frs who prefer subaru are probably stupid. as far as consistency goes, the car isnt void of toyota markings too. people can do what they want. i just dont think it makes any sense

You're completely neglecting the price, the color scheme, the bumper design being more attractive to the person buying the FR-S but likes the Subaru badge/company

Who cares? It was made by both companies and is supposed to be enjoyed by enthusiasts from both worlds. No need to create rifts over a $15 badge.

Seems like none of you guys like your cars for itself, If you buy a car because of its brand/name you have either a lot of money or you are completely out right stupid.. Or both.
This car is for enthusiasts , enthusiasts should not give two shits about what emblems are on the car. Scion/Subaru/Toyota.. Who gives a shit ?
K I'm gonna go for a drive now, y'all should too

You made my day, that's is fucking funny

2 completely different cars.
FRS and BRZ are pretty much the same things w/ different color schemes, prices, bumper, slightly dif. suspension

People care about the badge because they want the look that they like to go with their enjoyment of the drive.
