not terribly sure. having seen some of the enkei NT03+Ms in person, I can say they have a little bit of shine to them, so maybe that's it, but the name "hyper black" sounds more like a deep black... so I don't know. Anyone seen the two different kinds of black enkei uses to compare?

Well that's exactly what I was referring to. Those are the things that make the EU and JDM versions look good IMO.

Oh ok!

I have a feeling that the fogs will be an accessory item and the LED strip will be a Toyota part. I do like the Toyota/Scion version more than the BRZ.

the BRZ without the fogs and just the little light strip in the fog area looks nice

- Leather/Alcantara Package
- Fender insert
- Push button start
- Dash (i prefer the silver in the BRZ over the CF on the FRS)

I'm guessing it would be best to just get the BRZ limited and then swap out the front bumper if I wanted to. Probably gonna get white with black wheels, then add the duck bill spoiler from the TRD.

Guess we'll see what June brings. Hopefully I can check both out in person and choose from there.

You have exactly stolen what I was thinking out of my head. I was thinking bout getting the BRZ limited, swap the front lip, addon the foglights like the euro versions, maybe look at what the aftermarket hoods are available to make it look more curvy, with the spoiler at the back and that would be perrrrrrrfect. maybe swap a toyota logo if i feel like it haha.
