The silver seatbelts on the 10 are actually one of my favorite parts...

This is true.

I can take them or leave them, but my neighbor loves the contrast.

Does the monogram series have the door step lights?
Also, is any of the suspension changed from the normal FRS? By that I mean, driving both the BRZ and FRS back to back I noticed the FRS to be more bouncy in some respects that the BRZ, which was much stiffer in my opinion.

Thanks!

I bought a 10 series after somebody crashed into my Ultramarine. I went back to the same dealership and I guess it was on off day for the color when i bought the first one. It didn't really jump out at me and I had been looking at the Blue one online a lot and got it in my head that thats what i wanted. When I went shopping again I saw the 10 and just couldn't believe i hadn't noticed that silver ignition. The car can be 3 different colors in my opinion. from silver to almost a bluish on my favorite days. All the other mods that came with it are kind of neat but don't really interest me that much. The push start and smart key are probably the two things i notice the most. I like the extras that the monogram has but I don't feel any urge to figure out a way to get one. If you love the color get a 10 series. Honestly I love this car and I would be content driving around in a doo doo brown one if that what I had to get. The one negative is dirt. My car is dirty after 20 min of winter driving. But I do enjoy washing it often.

SatNav (Satellite Navigation) is what Europeans call GPS (Global Positioning Satellites). Same thing different name like gasoline/petrol, hood/bonnet, and trunk/boot.

You mean the red lights in the corner of each interior door panel? If so, none of the Scions have that, you need to get a BRZ or 86.

10 Series and Monogram also didn't get the sun visor vanity lights either.

How hard can that be to swap though? Don't they just pop out then buy a BRZ version? That has to be the easiest mod ever.

They would have to be rewired if you wanted the light to work though.

Yeah I just looked it up at our curiosity and was surprised to find it was a wiring thing. I would have guessed it was a tiny battery instead.

I would assume the car comes pre-wired regardless of the model/trim, no?

No unfortunately it's not.

Here is a DIY on the swap:
