Jalopnik Article - Tail Lights and Body Panels
 

http://jalopnik.com/5916719/toyota-w...+s-body-panels

Did a quick browse to see if this had been posted... If it has just throw some "Repost" on here and let it fall to the bottom!

Hmmm, maybe Toyota should done the building :/

I don't know... I like to know when my car is going to accelerate! :) :happy0180:

Actually, I haven't saw many reports on here about the tails and I haven't saw a thing about the body panels... Where are the body panel complaints?

Body panel fitment issues--like, too big of gaps and such. I haven't noticed either issue on my car, though. :iono:

Yeah, my car is perfect. I did notice that the rear "could" be missing some clips; however, it doesn't appear loose or have any gap. Car news must be slow for Jalopnik today... I did like how the Mustang V6 owners are trying to jump on this! lol Guess they are forgetting their CHINESE tranny's in their AMERICAN cars... :thumbsup:

The TSB specifically mentions that the hood and trunk sometimes are not lined up, ie the gap is bigger at the top of the hood than the front. I have not seen any complaints either so I'm guessing it is coming from the port inspections.

Cool, thanks for the clarifying! But yeah, issues seem to be very limited. Not news worthy I would think!

I posted about it a couple of weeks ago, but not in detail. I just saw the bulletins and mentioned it.

What's wrong with Chinese Made? Most of your Volks, BBS, etc etc. are made in China........65% of the U.S. is made in China...:thumbdown:

Yikes!!

Yeah must not be major issue as I haven't seen any pics/posts about it. Otherwise be all over here by now.

I know, I have an issue with that... But my main issue is that an American "muscle" car has a Chinese tranny in it? That's like the Fox body Mustangs from the 80's having a tranny built in the Soviet Union.

I doubt Volks have been moved to China

Jalopnik got that info from us. That pic they posted is from here also

issues
 

Oh wow :thumbdown: that's sad stuff....

Seems 1st 86 Peeps were all Happy from what I saw taking delivery and such. Hope just a fluke deal and very limited.

Thanks,

DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CAR ON THIS FORUM ANYMORE.

It will just feed the mustang trolls :/

Hello Jalopnik. :wub:

Let's keep in mind that this attention to detail is not a bad thing, it's the best thing! Most car companies just allow lousy panel gaps and pass it off as acceptable. Details! Details!

lol, We are the original source.

Well, it's new design car, of course there gonna be hiccup here & there, but don't need to worry too much :thumbsup:

I didn't complained. I just stated the fact about where they got the info from.

I was just expanding on what you said :bonk:

I laughed to myself after reading that this site was the source for the article.

Crazy thing is, most of their infos bout FR-S/BRZ were/are/will be from here ;)

I saw an FRS this past weekend with condensation in the passenger side taillight. Eek.

Seeing where they got the info is why I posted it... I have saw the tail light issue like 2-3 times but nothing more!

I've notice that the gap between the fender and A pillar is wider on the right than on the left, about 2mm.

At least they credited me for the photo. :D

No car is perfect

Porsche; rear main seal
BMW; vanos
GTR; bell housing / transfer box, plus misty headlights

Jalopnik clearly have no news and I've never had any bother with a Subaru. Toyota on the other hand.......

An American muscle car should not have a Chinese tranny!

That is why there is a warranty. Oh and my FR-S\BRZ ain't even made yet...LOL! So I should be good...
