Pics: FR-S to get 86 piston badge
 

Looks like an FR-S in CA for the unveil. It's clearly an FR-S/GT86

Spotted on LA freeway:

Yeah that is a FRS...not a BRZ....

Wow! Great find! thank you for this, i was worrying that Scion was going to completely kill the Heritage out of this thing :thumbsup:

When was this? What freeway?

looks like the 86 badge but can't tell if its a Toyota or Sicon/...

Now if they can only put the 86 on the steering wheel....we are good. Taillights have more red in them like the BRZ...

Scion FTW!

Someone got caught!! Looks like someone took it out for a spin a day before the FR-S reveal! :clap::burnrubber:

Good to see the 86 emblem on the fender!

Thanks Toyota!!!

Thank God for those reflectors on the taillights!

Thats good news.

definitely a 86 but damn why did they have to go form clear to amber fender reflectors do our laws really require that?

Sweet find. To those saying replace the emblem on the steering wheel. If they did that, then you might as well import the Toyota version. I like the Amber reflector better than the clear. It's more JDM to me... :)

Yessir! :(

no because they want to promote scion. but whats to stop them from calling it a scion 86? or gt 86? maybe we will get lucky and no stupid frs name

Yeah im gona want the clear reflectors or remove them completely if they have no use. Hoping that the plastic part over the fender vent is removable, think it would look cleaner with out the insert.

I know what my first mod will be :)

Maybe second mod after I rip the Scion sticker off the steering wheel

reflectors are super easy to change it and cheap. they'll probably be like 30 bucks or something. Tomorrow is going to be awesome!

Why tomorrow, we will know in a few hrs time. Unless you mean the FRS reveal in LA. From the looks of the pics there wont be much difference in the models.

This was reported as a BRZ by autoguide.com today. They don't say which freeway though.

Likes like a Scion, because of the red reflector in the tail light and the amber side marker in front.

I had doubts, thank goodness. that 86 badge is kick ass.

Cant wait.

yep. And thak god if they keep the 86 badge.. looks a lot better than the cheesy piece the BRZ has.. of course it's probably some clips or two bolts to swap it...

Yes they do. They also require the red side markers in the taillights. Which is why I said the scion would have the "BRZ taillights".

Red reflectors in the rear and amber reflectors in the front are a requirement in the US.

If I was driving on the highway and saw that I'd shit myself...well looks like we get red tail lights so everyone can stop crying! Fair trade? I'll take amber turn signals in exchange for red tail lights :)

SPOTTED!!!!
very cool.
amber fender lights dont bother me as i would tint them anyway (will blend better with grey paint)

and LOL at amber looking "more JDM" when the JDM version will have clear hahhaha oh man i hope that was sarcasm! :lol:

405 Freeway. NORTH. ;p

The tail lights look to have some camo on it. FR-S most likely gets BRZ lights, which are the same as GT86 but with a red reflector on the side. So the lens will still be clear and there will still be a lot of chrome inside.

Yeah but I don't mind as long as the outside corners of the lights aren't chrome I'm happy...not that I was complaining

It clearly looks red in the side shots :D

I'm pretty happy about those amber reflectors! Looks much better than the clear ones on the (GT)86.

i get to touch the car tomorrow.

Nice find! and it looks like the taillights have more red to them which is good. unless its some more camouflage

U lucky U!

I just noticed that the exhaust tips look like they are going to be the same as the US BRZ and not the GT86.

Exhaust tips are probably going to be an option

Yesss I was worried we wouldnt get the 86 badge

I was bored and threw this together, this seemed like the appropriate thread.
