Anything you would take from the FR-S and wish it was on the BRZ

Front facia - keep the fogs and leds from the BRZ
Different color tach - Like the color tach
86 fender emblem
FR-S - oversteer vs BRZ understeer - Unknown if this is true

Not sure if there is much more different

Or the opposite

Add the Navigation, fogs and leds lights and the leather/heated seats and I'd pick the FR-S...although all those options can be added afterwards...

After seeing both cars in person I'd go with the BRZ unless it didn't come with the features I want.. since it does it's an easy choice.

FR-S Front facia
Keep the LEDs from the BRZ
Lose the LEDs from the FR-S (just not feeling them at that angle in the headlights)

I like the BRZ just the way it is.

Btw, I feel like we have had this topic before.

I'd take the price tag from the FRS and put it on the BRZ Limited.

Personally I like the way the fender vents look on the FR-S much more.

I wish there were no fender vents on either of them.

That's why I like the FR-S vents - much smaller

Am I the only one that likes the look? Of course, I'd like them better if they were functional. But the look - I'm a fan.


Someone mentioned the tach on the FRS - yuck! That's one thing I hate about it - looks like a cheap Autozone special. But then again, I like the side "vent".
