I think a release series will include the following
- Special color - Aftermarket wheels - Lip kit I'd guess that the kit and wheels could likely be 5AD, but seeing how Scion made their own spoiler for the FR-S, it could be possible for them to develop their own kit. I don't think they'll do anything to shoot up the cost too much. |

lol i would too.. i wouldnt spend 11k for the trd brakes when i can spend 2k for the essex sprint kit and out perform the trd kit.. i think the "JDM" stuff is just way overpriced and not as high performance as it should be for those prices.. but agian its his money.. i dont care what he waste it on.. but i bet the guy who just sold 60$ vent visor for the windows for 200$ loves it

i think your putting your money into parts that "look good" and that they do.. the trd brakes look better the the ap racing brakes.. but just once at a track and the nice powder coat isnt red anymore.. if your not taking your car to the track, then a BBK is for looks.. the exhaust looks good if you like the d shaped tips.. but it doesnt add anything really but sound.. the door stablizer.. again if your not at the limit at the track.. for looks.. its your money to do what you want.. i wont argue with you.. im just saying for me.. i wouldnt put 20k+ in parts for looks so i tell people.. Its JDM yo..

you mentioned big brake kits being for looks if it's not tracked. for me, breaks are a safety feature. and the safer you can make your car without spoiling it, the better. as for the exhaust, i like it because it's discrete and i believe lighter than the original.
