surprised at how much MORE i like the frs dash cluster
 
didn't realize the subaru version uses a different font and the needles are different as well. the brz version looks so plain wihtout the textured T logo in the background and no white on the tach. the font and needles make it look more "cartoony" to me for some reason too.

yes, i know there is no point to this post. just something i noticed and was surprised about.

I don't mind the plain dash in the BRZ too much... I'd give anything to have a dash look my IS200's though! It was beautiful!

I'm just glad you acknowledged the textured T design, instead of calling it "Fake Carbon Fiber"

maybe we can turn this into a nice dash cluster layout thread. post pics of some of the best.

DarkSunrise 12-03-2012 01:52 PM

I really like the white face on the tach. Almost makes up for the fake carbon fiber weave :D

Rayme 12-03-2012 01:53 PM

The fake stiching on the steering wheel is also a very nice touch on the FR-S's vs the plain subaru one. Not really the cluster but pretty much right in the same line of sight.

It is not fake carbon fiber. It is designed to echo the original AE86 logo.

I like it a lot, while carbon fiber does nothing for me - neither does fiberglass.

Haha I know, I was just joking (see 2 posts above mine).

Audi is still the best for dashboards.

I wish the steering wheel was red on the sides like it was shown in the beginning...

You can get that steering wheel from Japan (or Europe). The steering wheel is something like $800. You can buy it from one of the vendors here.

pr086 12-03-2012 02:38 PM

i think the steering wheel with the red is ugly. i love the one on the frs, and yeah, the fake stitching around the center really makes a difference. i actually didn't realize it was fake and not leather untilll like 2 days after owning the car.

Ya I've seen it but don't wanna pay 800 for the color of a steering wheel :mad0259:

Im a BRZ owner and i looooove that fr-s dash.

Texas BRZ 12-03-2012 10:34 PM

I haven't had a very consistent look at the BRZ's dash cluster, but I believe I've had an opportunity to take a brief glance in the past... And I also prefer the design in the FR-S.

However, both versions have their own specific beauty over the other.

BlaineWasHere 12-03-2012 10:39 PM

I had to google what the BRZ cluster looked like... lol.

Burrcold 12-03-2012 10:43 PM

Not trying to stir shit up, but I like the uniform look/color of the BRZ cluster. Matches all the other interior lights very nicely.

lavisxice 12-04-2012 01:55 AM

nix 12-04-2012 03:32 AM

I prefer the BRZ dash at night which is when I do most of my driving.

Step One: Wait for the next squid.

Step Two: Make an offer.
