SEMA offers Toyota and Scion data thru their Tech Transfer program, so data for the FR-S and GT86 might be available to aftermarket vendors. At past jobs, I've worked with OEM data from Chevy and Ford, thru this program, but you need a manufacturer membership.

Laser scan could be done too, which would create an IGES, but there is always a margin of error. Romer/Faro arm point cloud would leave even more margin of error, but I've worked with that before too.

Last option, clay up what you want, then pull a "splash" mold off of that, and make your part from there.
