What Interior/Exterior Mod Have You Been Waiting For?? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dadhawk · 04-16-2014, 01:24 PM

Internal: Armrest that is a combination of the European one (flat covers the entire hole) and the US one (slides back out of the way). It would be OK with me if it slid back in between the rear seats, seems like that would be possible.

External: Louvers that aren't 1/25th the price of the car!

+1 for climate control. It's my one big issue with the car.

Seems to be the main thing here so I'm definitely going to try and figure something out for it.

The only part on the FR-S that hasn't been made a modification for and released yet - steering wheel emblem replacement.

Seems like there's a mod or replacement for almost every single part on the car that's worth and wanting to be modified/replaced (from engine parts, to drivetrain parts, to exterior stuff, to suspension pieces)...except the one piece/part that bugs us the most - the simple scion steering wheel emblem.

I'm disappointed with the climate control came from factory. It looks outdated and my 1990 Honda accord car had the same(similar) climate control. I would love to see an aftermarket upgrade for it.

An app that is pretty and bypasses the factory climate controls for Android or the upcoming Apple CarPlay (iOS) that works through the OBDII to control climate.

Then we could take the stock climate controls out and put in aftermarket gauges. (2 mods)

As far as the scion emblems, I like the Scion logo more than the Toyota one.

Rear over fenders that cover the entire quarter panel and flows with the natural body lines better.

Don't need 70mm width increase. 30-50mm is plenty.

For the climate control , have the knobs be metal, but the flat sides covered in the same rubbery material as the dash.

An armrest that you don't have to open, or if you do it can at least slide down once opened 90° so the passenger doesn't have to reach over it to reach their drink.

All black interior pieces like the australian base model gets. (Steering wheel, shifter surround, dash panels, circles around vents , hvac sides.)

A gated shifter cover (flat black) instead of a shift boot, and an s-craft style brz front lip I would buy on the spot.

Oh, also how about a replacement for the rear fog light/reverse lights that has the fog lights working as brake lights and such. I've seen a couple of options, but I don't know how many there really are. I think I'd rather buy a whole new housing that mod the stock one. I don't like the idea of cutting and splicing stock parts. I'll spend a little extra for whole, new ones.

ecdhunt · 04-16-2014, 07:08 PM

3rd brake light relocation to get it off the rear tray.

Also up for a nice flat non-sharkfin antenna.

The rear fog light is really good idea too - I've come to appreciate how functional they can be after driving in heavy fog in Europe several times recently.

iOS app like Torque.

Question about climate control - Could the factory BRZ Limited system be adapted to FRS?

Id like to see the concept style tails by using the factory mounting location. I think it would be pretty simple if you imagine the tails being flush with the lines of the rear bumper cover. Example:

(Ignore the round lamp) Then integrate the concept style into that. The shape of the factory tails would still be there but they would be flat, and color matched, while the concept style would be the raised shape with some overhang on the lower portion of the tails. Example:

How about some side fender garnish pieces that actually reflect sanity in pricing? I don't need carbon fiber, I don't need somebody's logo on them. Just something to get rid of that piston logo thingie...Just a nice piece of ABS plastic with maybe a tasteful vent in it. Around $100 a pair would be nice.

tonystewart · 04-16-2014, 08:26 PM

A real rear fog light that works with Euro Stalk on US version

Kiske · 04-16-2014, 08:37 PM

2 or 3 guage a-pillar pod that replaces the stock piece.

The pod needs to look like it could be an oem part. Not a tacky overlay or stick on hunk of junk.
Pod must match the stock part in texture, color and fitment.
Pod must retain the plastic clips that un-hinge so that the curtain airbag can still deploy.
If it cannot match the other side's stock pillar pod then create a replacement pillar for the other side so they can at least match.
