Switch to Subaru center caps? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

SkitterSkotter · 08-25-2012, 12:07 PM

Obviousaly I have an FR-S but I kind of feel like installing some BRZ center caps that I have. Is this a dumb idea? In my mind the car is a Subaru, but I don't want to look like a clown.

FR-S on the outside and BRZ on the inside. Transgender FR-S?

IMO, lame, especially when you explain your reasoning to bystanders.

Trollolol?

I want to see someone get both rear emblems. So their car says BRZFR-S or FR-SBRZ.

I put Chevy bowtie emblems on mine. When people ask, I tell them it's a GM/Toyota hybrid experimental vehicle for future Mars exploration.

I'm getting the FRS because I like it better than the BRZ. If I was worried about what other people thought of the car I drove I wouldn't be driving a Miata now.

It's just center caps its not like you can't just switch back. I personally think it would be kind of funny to see if anyone even noticed.

But whatever... probably just a troll.

SkitterSkotter · 08-26-2012, 05:19 PM

I don't know why people thought I was trolling. Anyways I decided to go with the subaru center caps, for some reason they look much better to me. I ended up selling the extra set of OEM wheels and I just threw the scion ones in there so going back is no longer an option. I actually think that instead of getting a toyota badge I will get a subaru one actually.

well at least now it will match the subaru engraving that is on the inside of the trunk.

first time i opened the trunk and looked at that it made me laugh
