Wow is that ever stupid.

Got to see one driving around in the real world this past weekend. It was a clear and sunny day around noon, so the lighting wasn't favorable. But, you can still see that it has a nice emerald sparkle and a lot of depth in shadow.

I had seen one on the local dealer lot, but it was cloudy and didn't stand out at all. That made me think it was closer to GM's green, but I can now see that it is much deeper and less chintzy looking than this:

Mostly I like the brown interior. But I think for the Harkone, as others point out, you really have to do an aftermarket rim. Something BBS, maybe.

Ya like the Lava it can be totally different colours all at once depending on the light and angle.
I really like the wheels. They are different but not overblown like some aftermarket ones but I like a more subdued wheel anyway.

Big nope on aftermarket BBS. Just paint stock caliper black imo if you can't get the stock brembo.


For the wheel, the gold-ish is alright, but I'd like to see something maybe more graphite. I think this would complement it so well.

Trying to sell those 17 wheels eh.


The pictures do a very poor job of showing how nicely those bronze wheels compliment the green.


The aluminum calipers are fine with me. Brake components do not need to be a focal point.

Exactly why a black caliper would be nice I think. Hides it into the wheel well a bit more.

Nah then it just looks like you are missing a chunk of rotor.

If you leave them alone long enough you never know what you may get.

Some weird 15 minutes of humor going on here :
I think she got most of it right...

She said AT does not come with Torsen differential. My AT FR-S came with Torsen, did they change this?

Edit: I just checked. All 86's are Torsen.

I feel like this car should have included the TRD package.

It did in Japan. Most likely didn't here to keep the price own.

PP wheels, brake and suspension would have made me trade in for one. The aero would have been a bit much.

I truly don't care about those and would NOT want the aero on that particular car.
Like the RS2 it is pretty much just a more 'grown up' appearance package and focuses on a different group than the PP cars do. About as much of a polar opposite of my lowered, noisy, flashy, bare bones Lava FRS as you can get but I am still happy with that.
