How to get an FT-86 in the US?

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering how one living in the US would go about purchasing a Toyota FT-86.

Umm, go to the Scion Dealership and buy an FRS?

Well there is no Toyota FT-86...

If you mean an actual Toyota GT-86, you can't. They are only outside North America, you could just mod an a FR-S with all the upgraded bits if you really wanted...

If you mean a Scion FR-S, you can just go to the dealer and buy one.

Replace front/rear emblem
Replace wheel caps
Add fog light assembly
Add JDM headlight with LED if you want to

^ This is the best answer so far. Also, replace that awful lighted shifter.

Depends on the trim level. But more on the FRS side

Don't forget to replace your floor mats, radio and your key fob.

I was getting in this one to post the same thing! lol

Closest one you could get is the Scion 10 and rebadge I'd imagine...
