but that front end... I hope a bumper swap isn't too difficult/costly, I hope FR-S and BRZ owners can be friends.. I'll need someone's front end someday lol

It's just a bumper cover should only cost about $300 unpainted to about $600 painted.

Whiteout is the best color on the FR-S.

Only thing is it seems most people have a receipt of there preorder, but I did it over the phone + no receipt. Hope this doesnt cause problems later

I can see why Longo is one of the biggest. The last 5-6 Toyota/Lexus my family bought were all from them and they are great at no BS, no pressure with us

Who took your order? I'll get the receipt emailed over. Just email me your reservation name

You mean for the inside of the trunk? Or for the lid? Pix included (please point out which one you meant, cuz I'm not sure which you're referring to). If the lid, then no for FRS; BRZ has the liner.

5 Axis front lip for the FR-S and it looks a million times better than the BRZ. I'm not a huge opponent of the FR-S (U.S.) headlights but an upgrade/swap might look good.

I'll be posting pics when I get to spend some time with and get behind the wheel of the FR-S probably on Friday. I know it will make me want to get one even more but that's ok.

omg if my dealer drills holes in the front fascia of my car for those cheezy license plate holders I will have to smack some hoes...

(brb emailing my sales lady to instruct her to tell folks not to do that!)

I'd be scared to walk 10 feet away from the thing...
