And the fact that I'm getting the car 2 years after I could've got a BRZ limited, so I went with the monogram.

I gotta change my username now. lol
Sick man, enjoy the car ! I was thinking the same way as you but over time the BRZ front end won me over, seemed less hot wheels! The GT86 headlights are gorgeous though ! Congrats !

Not sure if mentioned already but I would also look into warranty and ease of dealing with local dealerships. I find that Toyota typically takes better care of their customers than Subaru.

You better come to the meet you suggested tonight...

Anyway congrats - I got my SWP BRZ '14 for 26.5k - was thinking of Monogram too but I had the FR-S before the BRZ and I couldn't stand staring at the Scion airbag and wanting to change everything to become more 'JDM" haha. The front end is nice on the 86 but you don't need to change your username, everything's stamped Subaru on your car

I'll be there for the future meets. Now that I'm used to my car, it would be interesting to see your car up close.

What color is it on the BRZ? I know its the daytime running light on the BRZ.

The monogram has the DRL built into the headlight housing, so what is that function on the FR-S?
who fog lights are those? such a nice blue.
