Do you even need those in texas?

I know, I thought that was supposed to be Scion's policy, but who knows, maybe because it's a special edition?

I'll keep looking around, I'll check that dealership you mentioned, thanks.

get on google map and search scion, u can go through the dealers inventory
autonation toyota had 2 or 3. i believe one of them is manual
star toyota had a manual

ur probably dealing with bad sales people, SW side sterling mccall?
my 10 series was offered for sticker no questions asked, and i was the first person who took a 10 series home on this forum

good luck

I stand corrected, sorry 'bout that. I swear I read that they were different in size here as well before, but didn't double check.

I actually went in this past week to the biggest Scion dealer in Houston and made him an offer as I was going to buy the car right away (I would've) and he refused, he wouldn't come down one cent of his "reduced price" of $30950, he was actually asking $31850. The MSRP of that car is $28150, and I would pay a little more, but definitely not more than the BRZ Limited.

Here in Austin is even more ridiculous, their asking price for a 10 series FRS is over $32000. And that is a 2013 model, so I rather just wait and get me a BRZ from Clint and change the bumper, it would cost me less and still have Navigation, the spoiler and the more respected Subaru badge.

Wow, that's a ridiculous mark up. I bought mine for something like $100 over MSRP (stupid no haggling rule...). Heated mirrors and seats are a non-issue in Atlanta. I had fully intended to buy a 2014 WRB BRZ when it got released before I came across the 10 Series.

Pretty sure if you called Scion HQ they would get that pricing fixed for you.

I would think it's possible since the FRS-to-BRZ conversion is plug-n-play pretty much. But I haven't seen or read of anyone doing a BRZ-to-FRS bumper yet.

I haven't done mine yet, my BRZ is set to arrive late September. But I'll be heading to the Scion dealership today to quote the full bumper.

See the post above yours.

y on earth would u wanna do that?????

I'm getting a '14 BRZ very soon, but I want the FR-S bumper instead. Mainly because the body kits I'm considering are available only for the FRS front bumper (the rest is the same).


Note: In case you wondering, if you make some math, it's actually easier and cheaper to change a front end to make it look like the FRS, rather than trying to emulate the BRZ options that don't come in the FRS. The headlights of 86 alone will cost upwards $1000.

pm sent, let me know if you still want to trade

[dotdotdotPaul]

Does that make an BR-S? or an FRZ?
