I know it's there to clear the wing but doesn't it look like a temporary placement.

I also wonder about those push retainers too. Maybe Toyota designed it so you can easily remove that entire panel. That would be great if that's the case and will make weekend track events that much easier.

I believe so since they are only on the side closer to the door.

I like these pics but I can't help and wonder what the biggest set of wheels+tires that can fit in there. I'm not going to transport stock wheels+tires...

On the shoulders of the seats? Those are the seatbelt holders. There is a snap that opens up and the seatbelt goes through it so it stays in place.

Silver looks good on the FR-S. very classy and not cheap looking...I still want the HIDs though, that would make this car pretty much perfect....

i was thinking that too. I'll probably end up with 18x8.5's all around, id' imagine you're blocking a third of the window storing that kind of size. although the car gets narrower on the inside vertically past the beltline. So maybe the 4th wheel ends up in the trunk? if you wanna be crazy have a super wide look and run some 10 inchers with some "poke" you'd better look into roof racks or some utility trailers..lol

BTW, anyone actually click on the MT link? it's sorta cool to see the fr-s next to a gt-r just for sizing reference. I almost think the fr-s looks nicer btw hah

No I'm just wondering if popular racing slick sizes will fit. 17x8.5 maybe 9s at the most... I'll probably be picking a tire size based on what fits there lol.

Probably most because of how the rear window glass is designed with the black edges/defroster so it has to sit up a bit to be seen plus over a spoiler. But then again there are integrated spoilers, none that have been seen yet though. I'm glad they didn't put it on the trunk itself, I think.

i think 3rd brake lights look best on the top of the trunk, or top of the glass.
