Seriously.

That's been my dream since day one. I bet someone could make a killing by bringing that to market. All the aftermarket fender panels-without exception as far as I'm concerned-look like sh*t. I'm torn between modifying the stock garnishes and having them painted...or just buying the stock BRZ panels. It really bugs me that the designers of these cars chose to emphasize the 1986 COROLLA influence so heavily. And those little piston badges are totally ambiguous anyway, no one can tell what they mean at a glance.

"Opposed pistons like a Subaru? Or like a Sports 800? Both? Ok. So what does the little Swastika mean? Oh it's an eighty-six? Why? Was the Sports 800 designed in '86? No? Did Subaru start producing boxers in '86? No? Oh ok. So why does it only have two pistons? Oh. A Corolla you say? Oh cool my parents have one! Wait what? What's a Hatchi-Roku? I'm so confused..."
