I thought they were a 15 thing. But I may be lumping the auto headlights and shark fin in with the knee pads

The grand total of changes for the 14 were knee pads and the touchscreen HU. That was it.

With hard turns, it's easy to wheel hop.
I've also got about 120hrs or more on track in Mk2 MR2s, almost won a NASA championship or two. This outta be a little easier and something manageable with setup tweaks to my taste - but still good to think about

appreciate the general tidbits about updates over the couple of model years all - thanks!

Hey, don't know if you were adding to the sarcasm, but I really like the kneepads in my '14 FRS. I rode in my buddy's '13 BRZ and banged my knees repeatedly.

Totally worth the added weight.

I know people really like them, I just don't have any complaints about not having them.
