Oh well then thats even better. I saw your attention to detail with that Kaiser, it's safe to say we're in good hands then.

Scion Factory authorized? luxmn you DO sound like a douche.

There is no Scion Factory, and beyond that Scion is barely a tangible company. Its easier on the mind just to think of Scion as a very small team of Toyota Employees. Now don't get me wrong, they are some of the most amazing Toyota employees that I have ever met and most of them are real car people, men and women that seem to 'get it' when it comes to cars. However, that tangent aside...

Jack Hollis already said the cars will never be 'officially serialized', remember when we asked him that direct question in Long Beach? The intention of Scion was only ever to assign a random number to each car based on receipt of a pen or license plate frame. The first 86 cars, unfortunately, do not hold the same weight as the 'Release Series' cars and thusly will likely never have real serialization from Toyota or Scion.

Personally, I could care less. I just want a spiffy plate for mine, but its not like I need it, my vin indicates my car is #500 and I think that will speak for itself when I feel the need to sell this vehicle.

Easy killer, "factory authorized" were my words not his, but I do think that's what he was asking. :)

My point was that if you want to get licensing from Scion to use the logo, font etc I don't think we could afford to do this. And if you do ask them, believe me that's the direction they would take it.

Special Plaque for First 86

Mr. Hollis
Dear Jack;
A group of the First 86 would like to know if Toyota would consider making a plaque that designates our cars as one of the first 86. I am attaching a web site from Italy that had a custom made plaque for each owner it was all done online. I’m sure they have a cross reference to insure the request is valid.
The picture also attached is what they did in Italy; it fits in the area below the shifter in the depression in the console.
Might it be something that you or Scion US, would consider doing, maybe the Scion organization in Italy can make them for us in the states of course ours would have FR-S vs. 86 see the picture.
If you would please give a response, either yes or no. I do believe that the 86ers would be willing to pay a small charge to have this available
The comments on the forum have been very positive we love the car; we all see that some dealers cause a lot of potential buyers to hate car dealers, I hope Toyota is reviewing the overall performance of their dealers and can address the issues regarding up charges (it’s a special car), as well as added upgrades that were not asked for.
If you would please respond
Best Regards
Rocky Ienna

This what I emailed Jack and Jaycie

Im glad you took the initiative because that email is way more professional and eloquent than I could have put it. :D

Looks good, sounds good, lets hope you hear back from them!

hope we hear back from them :) i dont have to have a plate, but if i do i kinda want it to be legit/special, that's douchy i know. its like i can go buy the hats and the shirts and the keychains from a first86 would that make me one of them? not really. i have a laser cutter at work and have access to a cnc but that's like paying for a gf. lol

I think it would be perfect If any are made I am interested

Has anyone seen a real picture of that Italian badge? I'm pretty sure that's a rendering.

That Italian badge is really nice! I sure hope Scion can spare a couple bucks to get those for you First 86 guys.

Damn! I wonder if we can get a bade like that made for all cars, not just the First86... I want one to cover up the ugly seat heater buttons in the BRZ...

Seconded - I'd love to get one for my FRS (#312) and would gladly pay for it.

Well said, but this part bothered me:

Isn't it a Toyota in Italy? I know, Im nitpicking.....

Just want to let you know that I did get a response to this email. I was told that there is something special still being planned, I don't know what but the email said they didn't want to ruin it. They also said they are looking a less then stellar performance by the dealers on this marketing promotion.
I don't know what is going on but whatever happens from here is just an extra. Remember we got the car, a hat, and whatever else some of us received that others might not have.
Enjoy your car,
No I don't work for Scion I'm just trying to be real about the whole experience.
Drive safe
Rocky
