How are the foglights setup on the GT86? I know the BRZ has theirs on the stalk and the FRS I believe gets a button to turn them on, on the dash. I have the Monogram edition with the HID lights and am curious if they will go the button or the stalk change for when I decide to get the fogs.

Thanks!

It is so hard to understand that the radio and speakers could possibly be THAT bad in this car. My 2006 Scion TC has a Pioneer factory radio and sounds GREAT to me! Has just enough bass and great highs. And it has the Scion Sound System settings that allows you to modify those things... I refuse to believe this MUCH more expensive car cheaped out on something that simple this bad! lmao!

In a word, yeah it is. Okay, that's three words. Let's put it this way. My 2010 Honda Fit daily driver/beater that I use for commuting, that's put together with wood and chewing gum (not really) has a stereo that sounds a hundred times better. There's base. There's highs. There's mid-range. There's fidelity. After I get out of the Fit and into the FR-S, I keep thinking there's something wrong with the sound system. Like two tin cans on a string kind of wrong with it. And yes, I even remembered to switch the factory settings over the right car. Normal. Feel. Hear. ARGH. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It really doesn't bother me because the FR-S isn't my daily. But...yeah.

Anyway, beautiful looking car, Derickie!

oh wow. that's madness. that's almost a situation where you don't get what you pay for. A tC can be bought for over $10,000 less! XD
