FR-S
- 19" forged wheels of some kind ($$$$)
- 1.5" drop using H&R Springs, hopefully no rubbing
- dark polish exhaust
- CSL style trunk lid- hopefully somebody makes one!!!
- upgraded sway bars
- big brake kit to scrape off speed whilst canyon carving
- strut brace

pushing it extras:
- "86" steering wheel- hopefully the airbag works!!!

BRZ (if that steering wheel doesn't telescope in the none prepo FR-S
- same exact mods as above minus the extra of the "86" steering wheel for glaringly obvious reasons.

update, can't believe i forgot: SPACERS.

I don't know if in cali thats illegal I'm my AE86 I have roll cage w/ 5 point harness never got a ticket from it so I dont know

[poormans_LFA]

it's illegal for mass produced cars to be sold like that. when it's in your hands after purchase, that's another story.

that's pretty much the idea, but I want the 86's interior.

Scions don't get push to start.

yeah w/o that button it has lost all appeal

BRZ Headlights
TRD trunklid spoiler (the short one - lip style)
TRD suspension - maybe

I'm going to see what OEM optional/TRD wheels are available. I want the car to look stock, but I really do not like the look of the standard wheels.

If u really can't be without a push button start u could always go aftermarket

Am I really missing something about not having push button start?!

How could you omit everything else about this vehicle because there isn't a button that turns the engine over?

agreed, i'm surprized there was such a "backlash"

besides I figure it could be an option so why cause such an uproar?

we just don't know yet, hopefully we'll find out in January

To start:

Whiteout w/ 6 speed

Then, 1-1.5" of drop via i don't know yet.
Black 5 spokes of unknown brand and some sticky tires.
Brakes! All 4 corners. Cost won't be a deciding factor for me, just quality.
Next, i'll wait a few months and pony up for the exhaust that to me has the best combination of power and sound.

[Jordo!]

Red tails

Lower; stiffer chassis braces; alignment.

Bubblegum-sticky tires.

Blower.

[Godzpeed]

Since I'm getting a JDM car, here is what I have in mind

- Red tinting the taillight
- TRD Full kit
- TRD Brembo 6pot/4pot BBK
- Rays VR G2 in 19" w/ A050R tires
- a pair of Bride carbon fiber full bucket seats
- HKS or Amuse Full titanium exhaust
- DRY CF hood, mirros, doors, trunk, roof by REVOZPORT, money is no issue, weight is!
- HKS coilovers
-

I will not touch the engine until HKS can develop a good FI system for this car.

you don't need spacers if you got a perfect offset
