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.

i'm curious. you say better quality parts, but my list consisted of mostly JDM toyota parts which are, better in quality.

i can only guess you mean power adders.

in which case i say more power to you (see what i did there?)

i'll do fine with my "comfort" upgrades.

-TRD brakes
-TRD calipers
-Full-length Ride Adjustment Suspension Set (40-way Damping Adjustment)
-TRD Brake Rotors
-TRD Exahust(the one offered by scion)

these parts here.. are way over priced and you can find way better quality parts for WAY LESS money

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..

i think you might be missing my point. if a car goes outside, it's going to get dirty, scratches, what have you.

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.
