- 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

My thoughts:
-Fog lights will surely be a dealer option (they already are)
-86mm exhaust tips failed the US regs for some reason, doubt we'll see these
-Badging. The steering wheel 'Scion' and floormat 'FR-S' will stay. This isn't a Toyota 86, it's a Scion FR-S. And the red 86 fender badge is ugly, I like my silver one.
-Install your own brake pads, like any other enthusiast would on any sports car. Come on. Furthermore, the economy brake pads suit 99.99% of buyers. The car definitely needs better pads, but that's a TRD-type accessory.
-Full red interior? I will simply say that is not to my taste, and there's probably a good reason they don't offer it stateside (no one would buy it).
-2014 cars get the knee pads
-the armrest is an armrest...regardless I don't want it. I put stuff in my center console all the time anyway.
-Trunk lid liner is worthless. It's a waste of weight and personally, I like to see my naked trunk.
-This is the one point I agree with you on, haha--the top spec FR-S should have the extra lights like the BRZ does.
