Would be nice to steal the digital speedo and the rear view mirror of the GTS as well

I am thinking either Flocking that part in my BRZ, or seeing if i can have it leather wrapped to match the seats etc..

Oh the irony! Increasing the weight with pretend carbon fibre.

how tricky would it be to remove the wrap from the plastic? i would like to see what the red carbon fibre would like, match the seats

It's really easy to remove. And put on. Just heat it up a little with hair dryer and it comes like soft fabric.

Why add weight?

Loki556 · 08-01-2012, 06:41 AM

How much does it weight?

I think inside the cabin can make sence, base GT looks plaaain as.

It weighs bugger all. I don't care. It is cosmetic.

Yeah yeah. Each to their own.

I have to say, i like the blackness of the GT, the only thing id like from the GTS is the Digital Speedo, but even then. its a bit of a novelty

Loki556 · 08-01-2012, 08:27 AM

I almost second that - I think in the future GT will still look fine, while GTS caters more to current trends.

BTW, has anyone tried removing the side 86 badge? I think those things look really ugly and the car would look much nicer if they were deleted.

JiB · 08-01-2012, 08:39 AM

I like the Emblem, but i dont like the side piston thingies. I will be changing over to the BRZ chrome du-dad once they become readily available
