I was talking about the HID's. But the trunk dress up will also fit.

Whoa, you shouldn't be running JDM lamps here in the states anyway. JDM lamps have the beam higher on the left side, which blinds oncoming traffic.

JDM beam pattern more likely to blind oncoming traffic:


USDM beam pattern provides more light on your side of the road, sidewalk/pedestrians/etc:

No argument here. I agree. I was just talking about the price specifically in this case.

GT86 headlights are not JDM. they are same LHD lights. so there shouldn't be a problem using them here in the US

Ah, gotcha. Still surprisingly expensive - new lights for my MR2 were under $200 each, tax included, and everything for the zzw30 is expensive since we didn't get that many in the US. At least it's a good note for the noobs who want "mad JDM tyte" parts for their car.

When you say "GT86 headlights," I don't know whether you're talking about JDM, Australia-DM, UKDM, AfricaDM, FranceDM, but I assume you're talking about NOT USDM since it's not called the GT86 here. It seems weird for you to refer to some random country (Africa/France/whatever) with RHD GT86's when we're talking about a Japanese car (GT86 = LHD) and everyone in this thread is in America (BRZ/FRS = RHD).

forgot to mention i was talking about the GT86 in europe. the LDH ones. so it should be compatible with US cars

or just pure toyota 86 that are LHD

The car is called the Toyota 86 in most RHD countries and GT86 in others (some are RHD as well). When people refer to GT86 headlights, they are usually referring to the LHD ones from Europe and not the RHD 86 headlights from Japan.

As for the trunk liner, I ordered one from Subaru here and got it a couple of days later. Haven't installed it on a car yet, doesn't look like it's an amazing piece. Toyota should have included it on the FR-S. Oh well.
