I've been waiting for this car to be released for a long time, hoping that it would be produced in bigger numbers. Now i can only hope that they decide to sell those parts. I want the whole intake setup!
I see your point, but if they apply the same policy than the 14R60(another piece of art IMO) those parts won't be available for the rest of us, so it's a pointless exercise. They basically work and develop stuff for just 100 cars(like the 14R60) and i think that's stupid. Sell the parts and get some extra money for all that hard work.
I would agree 100% with you IF they decide to sell those parts, though. Fingers crossed.

Both good points. The carbon fiber panels are something I definitely want for my FR-S.
Though, to play angel's advocate, the way an optimist could see it is the potential of what the 86 can do. This is Toyota claiming around 216 hp with extensive modifications to the engine, as well as a lot of whole other stuff done to the suspension, body, and aero.
Even if Toyota wanted to bring those here, I'll bet you that due to federal regulations, we'll see none of them on U.S shores.
