I've only replaced parts on my Monogram with other Toyota parts. I have the GT86 tips (instead of the nonexistent stockers), and I have the red GT86 shift knob. I plan on keeping this car stock for a long time.

I want that front lip though.

You're correct, I was looking at a pic with a shadow. The other pic of the rear is clearer. Oh well......

There is zero difference in the rear of the two cars so if it fits a BRZ it fits a FRS Justas well. The price is totally out to lunch though. This is the one thing I want to add (don't like seeing the muffler when I come up from behind) but so far I have not settled on which way to go. Pay more for something that is better made but could get banged up pretty bad or go cheap and have crappy fit but not care about damage.

Then the color mismatch must be between the 86s' rears and the knock offs from China? Bad fit is distracting but over paying is aggravating -though call. It the fit was same then I'd go with ebay but use stainless steel hardware instead.

Yes colour, material and even texture can give a visible difference. It should even out over time but even a brand new OEM part added to a weathered car will look off.
My biggest issue with shopping for one is I never see them on an actual car. Pics can give an idea but can be deceiving. Probably just roll the dice on a mid rage one and hope I have the best of both worlds.

I don't think you can beat $60, (another cheap upgrade) I did see a upgrade kit for $35 in Amazon to make the triangle between the reverse lights into a brake/running light.

Ohh really, well i guess everyone in the usa should get a brz instead of an frs, how can you live without keyless entry and keyless star/on engine button?

I have heard and seen online that the brz in the usa comes standard with these features?

The only crappy thing is that our gt86 comes with 16inch wheels! Which is idiotic!

BRZ limited gets those things, not the BRZ Premium.

Only the monogram and RS2.0 have leather/alcantara seats and seat warmers.

Do the 10 series and RS1 have standard mirror warmers?

No. No leather or heated seats / mirrors.

The FRS in NA is marketed by Scion as a base vehicle. Other than the small numbers of special editions (RS1, Monogram, Series 10s) there are no trim levels. Unlike the rest of the world where you can get various regular production levels we get only one and it is very basic. Most of the items from the higher level GT trims are not even available as dealer installed options.
