Pics of the FR-S and GTR. Pics show FR-S loaded with 4 mounted wheels and tools in the trunk/rear seats.

Finally, a real application test. :thumbsup: It fits but that's a tough squeeze.

I am liking that silver more and more. Also, probably how I will roll constantly - rear seats down. Thanks!

Well then, this will be useful for me. That trunk is big enough to can stick my bike in it :thumbup:... Hiyooo!!! I wont have to wait on a bike rack to go on my many Northface type adventures with my mt. bike.

Why did there have to be proof? People thought Toyota would lie about this?

I still haven't seen a good photo of what it looks like with PEOPLE back there. My usual cargo.

Hum.. looks like you can't swap trunks, there is a VIN tag on it:

Just like my dc2 tons of space back there with the seats down.....i know my seats will be down 99% of the time now....haha

Do you guys think the rear seats will be easily removable? I want those suckers gone.

if a person wanted to sleep in the trunk (with the seats down) what is the maximum diagonal length?

if it's anything like my old VW, the answer is both yes and no

doing it the first time is a pain in the ass, because they were not meant for easy removal, but after awhile you understand the motions needed to take them out, and it becomes routine.

Yea...Silver is looking interesting and easier to keep clean
I'm heading to Atlanta to check out that silver BRZ.

I still wonder why they mounted the 3rd brakelight like that. Couldn't they have tucked it in more or have a solid unit instead of the pegs showing!? :iono:

probably for viewing angle...

id rather have room for passengers in the back not some tires i probably wont use for a very long time.

these pictures blow my mind....if i tried to put tires stacked like that on my s14 or rx7 it wouldn't work.

Maybe that rear parcel shelf has a forward slope to it and they wanted a better angle for the led assembly. Or they actually thought it would look cool.it does look a little DIY'ish/unfinished though ill give you that

This has always been the case no matter what vehicle. Usually hasn't stopped most people from swapping before. I currently have three different vins on my car. Trunk and front bumper were swapped out.

I appreciate the real world demonstration.

I wonder if the seats are all the way or not. I doubt it.

...trying to judge the seating position from the pics.

I'd love to see a video of them getting the wheels in there. That can't be easy.

would be a lot easier with a hatch in the back but hey, whatevs.:iono:

sweet pictures. What are those strap looking things on the front seats? For pulling them forward/pushing them back?

It's so it can clear the factory wing...

Wait what? Where in Atlanta is it???

yea where is it? i wanna see one in person, this waiting on a forum is driving me nuts.

A hatch would make the car heavier. That's why it is a coupe according to Toyota\Subaru...

I know it's there to clear the wing but doesn't it look like a temporary placement.

I also wonder about those push retainers too. Maybe Toyota designed it so you can easily remove that entire panel. That would be great if that's the case and will make weekend track events that much easier. :thumbsup:

Loews Hotel

I believe so since they are only on the side closer to the door.

I like these pics but I can't help and wonder what the biggest set of wheels+tires that can fit in there. I'm not going to transport stock wheels+tires...

On the shoulders of the seats? Those are the seatbelt holders. There is a snap that opens up and the seatbelt goes through it so it stays in place.

thats it im sold. this car is solid

Silver looks good on the FR-S. very classy and not cheap looking...I still want the HIDs though, that would make this car pretty much perfect....

i was thinking that too. I'll probably end up with 18x8.5's all around, id' imagine you're blocking a third of the window storing that kind of size. although the car gets narrower on the inside vertically past the beltline. So maybe the 4th wheel ends up in the trunk? if you wanna be crazy have a super wide look and run some 10 inchers with some "poke" you'd better look into roof racks or some utility trailers..lol


BTW, anyone actually click on the MT link? it's sorta cool to see the fr-s next to a gt-r just for sizing reference. I almost think the fr-s looks nicer btw hah

I made a thread about it yesterday:

No I'm just wondering if popular racing slick sizes will fit. 17x8.5 maybe 9s at the most... I'll probably be picking a tire size based on what fits there lol.
