Yep, you're right. Still, hood would weigh as well as makes no difference the same. I wouldn't expect the roof to make it to production regardless.

But in regards to what they were trying to do... SoJ PR probably gave them a hand built prototype about 4 weeks before the Tokyo Auto Salon and said, hey, drop everything and make us something, *anything*, to put in the show. Actual and meaningful performance parts take 3-6 months to design, prototype, test, and then produce.

You're probably right. Same powerplant, I don't see any worthy suspension changes, it's the BRZ with some badges and glitter on it as far as I'm concerned.
