Here's what's missing to be a Limited:
- Fog lights
- 86mm Exhaust tips
- 86 badgeing (86 steering wheel logo, 86 red fender piston logo, floor mats)
- Under car covers (this is a performance upgrade that reduces coefficient of drag only available on the 86 GT Limited, BRZ did not see this.)
- High Grade Brake Pads from the 86 GT Limited (high μ pads)
- I'm guessing the seats are the black with red accenting leather/alcantara and there is no option for the full on red colour keyed interior still, also from the 86 GT Limited.
- Part of last point: red shift knob, red e-brake handle, red door sill, red door handle insert from 86 GT Limited.
- Knee pads on center console and around speakers on the doors (heard this is on 2014 but only center console not doors as well?)
- Is the armrest the rear leather armrest with red stitching or is it a new one for the front seats?
- Trunk lid liner
- Illuminated entry/door courtesy lamps
- Vanity light in sun visor
Again, this option will only please those who wanted an 86 GT, those of us who wanted the Limited are still shafted.
As for your second post, we should have seen these parts from the start and the ones that are still missing. Not to mention Toyota should have brought this out, not Scion.
What is even more infuriating is the trouble some of us went through trying to get these parts and being told, by Scion/Toyota, that they will not be made available and to basically go screw ourselves. Now they release this. I'm sorry, but that's a **** move. They had almost 10 years to get it right and they dropped the ball. As an old, long standing, Toyota fan, the damage is done. They'll have to do far better than this to win old fans like myself back.

I think this is as close to the real GT86 we will get except for small items being added year by year. I think we're just lucky to get this car period. Just buy it and 86 it by adding fogs and GT86 badges and call it a day. In Ireland this car costs $40,000 so you won't hear me complaining!
