Same sheet metal = same fenders.

Those are "JDM wheels". If you make a photoshop request, be specific about which wheels you want photoshop'd onto the car.

overall I am happy with the BRZ. I do wish we got the STi concept tails, but knew we wouldn't .
I however do prefer the lack of plastic in the FRS nose and I Really like the FRS fogs.

Now if they just won't add much weight to federalize it we will be good

Disappointed that it has the same rear end. I was hoping some of the STI concept's squareness was in the base model, and it didn't have an identical rear end to the Toyota. Now I'm favoring the Toyota based on the front grill and the possibility of orange paint. Unless the Subie gets orange too, and better options, I'm definitely leaning towards the FR-S.

Well that decides it. Going Toyota all the way. I was really on the fence about this one, but this was the clincher. Btw people I like that the Toyota looks aggressive. Why that the hate regarding looks? The BRZ is sexy too, just not my pick this time.

You mean you are getting the Scion. No guarantees it will look the same as the JDM Toyota.
