yup a 15 or 20mm wheel spacer would do nicely for the stockers.

With the right wheels and a reasonable 20mm-30mm drop, this car will have a nice stance.

hell, with the stock wheel gap drop it 45mm, that would look awesome..but where do you drive it?..lol

When I get the BRZ limited the only 2 mods will be the TRD springs and 18'' wheels with a low offset. The car doesn't need anything after that aesthetically and I wouldn't waste time and money with power advancements on a 2.0 liter engine.

I think that's the first photo of the bespoke radio I've ever seen in the FR-S.

Looks...interesting.

It seems likely that this inset was designed in to give an owner the flexibility to add wider wheels/tires later without rubbing issues - remember a big design goal was to make the car easily modifiable.

While I'm sure the commercial will be impressive, Scion is open to charges of false advertising using custom springs for this - it's called "bait and switch" and it's illegal in car advertising in Ontario. Yes, they probably will run a 200 millisecond, 2-point type disclaimer in the ad about "optional equipment" being shown, but most viewers are not going to be savvy enough to realize this equipment impacts the car's stance or reduced roll in cornering (assuming the springs are stiffer). And anyways the TRD stuff is not really "optional" as it cannot be ordered from the factory but is merely in-house aftermarket.

Sleazy.

The red stitching better be in the production FR-S because I can live with this interior!

Not the first picture of the bespoke, but one of the best photos. I want to see one with the unit on...It's funny, we know nothing about bespoke unit.

I mentioned this when i started the thread, no one has brought it up yet. does that nightpic look like hid to anyone else?

Also, as basic as the front and interior of the frs is compared to the brz. It does look pretty damn good. The clean looking bespoke ties together the interior well. Makes the knobs tolerable

Red stitching is definitely not going to be on Canadian market vehicles - not certain about US status.

Straight from the mouth of the Scion Canadian brand manager at the CIAS.

Many times in photos regular halogen lights end up looking like HIDs due to the way the camera balances colors.

The corner light and the amber lights in real life are a dominant amber/orange tone...so you could deduce the actual color of the headlights.



That said though--I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they shot the ads with HID-equipped vehicles. Car advertising and promo shots rarely show stock vehicles.
