Me too. But now that I've seen it the offset need to be +35 instead of +48 at least for the rear wheels.

I like this rear spoiler much better than the OEM one. I hope it utilizes the factory spoiler holes so you can just bolt it on.

I'm not a fan of unpainted carbon hood especially this one since it really makes an abrupt stop to the nice lines of the front end. It would be nice if it's painted body color and leave the bare carbon under the hood.

wow that is one sad STI.
it's a bunch of useless crap for a lot of money.
I hate the Rice carbon fiber hood, I like the properties of the
material but why can't they just paint it to match the car?

I refuse to get excited about another concept, but this was news to me...

The borderless rearview mirror is something the BRZ and the 86 both get, but won't be available in the more cost-conscious FRS.

*sad trombone*

The FRS better be below 20k if they are being that lame

I hope so.. I still haven't seen a reason yet for the FR-S to be any more expensive than the TC ($19,xxx).

I see the borderless rear view mirror comes optional. I don't think the car is anywhere below 20K.

FR-S is Scion halo car. There are more reasons, but I don't bother.

Wait, Back to the topic.

Agreed. And what's with that tie down? Seems way excessive. Let's come up with meaningful mods.

Research and development? ^_^

Err that hood line is so awkward. I wish it extended in that groove it has till the front bumper, or at least didn't reach the lights.

Ahh who cares? It'l grow on me

The Robot Cow · 01-26-2012, 05:21 PM

I'm usually all for carbon fiber but it looks a bit akward but according to speedhunters its a really high quality so its all good, but then again this is the Sti concept. It would be awesome if they add the Sti logo to the tachometer. I love how the sti tachometers look

Yeah, if a mirror becomes a deal breaker for me, I will just give up on life. I don't really care about how the rear view mirror looks.

It's not a deal breaker, but just shows the extremes they are going to cut costs. If they are going to give us a cheaper rear view mirror than the rest of the world, it better be one hell of a cheap car. It is just one of many things they cheaped out on that add up to the FRS being a lower quality version of the 86 (headlights, interior plastics, radio head unit). The overall cheapness is the deal breaker, unless it is below 20k. Even then, I think I'd pay a few grand more for the BRZ without the cheap corner cutting. Being a Scion, we know there won't be any trim levels, only port installed options. I would have preferred they offer the Scion version and a Toyota version and let us choose if we want the cheapo edition.
