Stock fender garnish without 86 badge? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Why are simple pieces of plastic so expensive? Can't you get that area filed and painted for the price they are charging for these things?

3 letters. 100 internet cookies if you can guess which.

These parts can only be purchased by owners unless a stealership is willing to sell them against Toyota's rules.

btw there's a few more totaled RS1's out there now with the salvage companies.

People dislike the stock FR-S fender garnishes?

This is news to me. Why?

I wouldn't say I hate them but this picture has me secretly wanting somebody to accidentally clip my side so they'll have to pay for the fix which would also include filling it in exactly like this.
When the front area where that badge is filled and smoothed, it also makes the car look cleaner. Also the would "garnish" sounds like something a grandma puts on her coffee table along with her crocheting stuff.

I have found a couple places online that sell the OEM pieces. The cheapest I have found them for is $360 each. I plan on waiting a little longer for mine.

For the same reason people mod any other part. Stock is not cool, personal preferences, stand out from the crowd, form over function, function over form, impress the homies, impress the internet, bored, or the ever popular "JDM YO".

The RS 1.0 owner sold the TRD fender garnish you posted above.

There's a few of the guys getting the carbon fiber JDM TRD ones and offing their RS1.0 ones for sale.

I'm with you. People always seem to want something different. Over here people badge swap to Toyota - over in Japan people badge swap to Scion. FR-S bumpers are exchanged with BRZ bumpers. No one's ever happy.

Personally I agree that the pistons are a neat little garnish and I'm much happier with them than with the yet-another-fake-vent of the BRZ's (yes I know there's still a small fake vent on the FR-S) or the non-functioning "aero" things.
