I'd take the fender vents (they have integrated turns signals it appears) and maybe some interior pieces from it. Back end doesn't look bad either.


But that front end....my god what have they done.

No. Gay people have a sense of style. That looks like something a Fiat designer threw together as a goof.

People! We have been down this road before! The CB is a special edition the base FRS remains unmolested!
Don't panic, please proceed to the nearest exit in a calm and orderly manner.

Not really. The original FRS/BRZ/GT86 design is all Toyota. Subaru is way too conservative to give that tuner car look to a car.

This was originally designed by Gazoo Racing. It's for teh Japanese wimminz.

Ya the original article about it (that is on here someplace) is very clear that this version was designed for and to be marketed too women (Japanese ones in particular).
Won't matter as there is no word of and little chance they will import them here anyway.
