I really like this version, hopefully it will include a TRD brake enhancement. I'm looking at this or the Lexus RC350 to replace my 2013 Base FR-S.

Typical experience from a SCION dealership (unless the salesman is an enthusiast). Seems they only perk up and show some brain activity if you mention Prius/Camry/Corolla. |

As cool as it looks (not feeling the color) isn't the exhaust (functionally speaking) overkill?

The TRD muffler is not really quad exit...only quad tipped. Two outlets on the muffler not 4.

I'm just hoping I can get the JDM TRD kit parts at the price of just an arm and not an arm and leg like importing them currently.

Have you ever bought OEM quality aftermarket parts like TRD, Nismo, STi, Mugen before? The stuff isnt cheap even from the US Dealer...

I'm just saying in relation to whats being offered in the TRD US Market for the FRS currently, the prices aren't too bad.

So it's mostly just for appearance? No real benefit? |

Looks like the same color of my tc rs7.0 I traded in on my FRS lol. I loved the color in person. But black is the only offset color that works with it. I will be keeping my first86 FRS though.
