That's right folks, I have the first USDM Lexus FR-S. I might even re-arrange the letters and have the first S-FR!

This you?

AWESOME! But no, that's not me.

He should put an "IS" in front of the FRS. Then he'd have a Lexus IS-FR-S ha ha ha. Or better yet, IS-86!

Me too...it's as screwy as replacing Scion badges with Toyota badges.

I wonder if badging up the Scion as a subaru would be a good way to get out of tickets.

"Your honor, clearly the officer has the wrong car. As you can see, my registration clearly states that my car is a Scion FR-S, but the officer issued a ticket for a Subaru BRZ."

Bet I could do an even trade with them without hassle

But honestly, I like USDM tail lights better than JDM.

Aren't they basically the same thing except for our red reflector on the side?

That's correct. IMO JDM lights look better on some colors like silver, white, etc and the USDM amber/red look better on some colors like white, orange, red, etc

I want to see a Lexus badged LR-S or FL-A or LF-S, LR-A?

I remember these guys started rebadging Toyota Altezzas with Lexus badges when lexus was not available in Japan.

Sometimes that's because it's growing on top of a septic tank

I'm going to start making American flag badges and sell them in JDM land. Then I'll start making Japanese flag badges and sell them here. That's my million dollar idea for the week. LOL

The grass is always greener. Plus it doesn't matter what side of the car the wheel is on or what the original intended make of the car was. Here a Toyota 86 is rare; there a Scion, forget an FR-S, is extremely rare. And they can have the highest level of trim so why not. I prefer scion in some ways, its just like Lexus or Acura. Scion allows toyota to have a division that is orientated to sportier cars. I don't really care if it is a Toyota, or a Scion, or what ever. I am just glad toyota is finding their way back to sports cars. Just my two cents.
