I hope those wheels aren’t a fortune. BBS is nice but if they cost the same as a set of TE37s, that’s an easy choice.

I do want to see them on WRB though.

It's not that they're not wide enough, it's that the fender is so TALL. Tops of S2000 fenders are super-low (another benefit of wishbone suspension yay!). So you can make this fairly radical shape that flattens out above the tires and then fairs back into the side of the car. Sexay. Super-wide flat fender lips and tacked-on conical (or slightly ogive) flares look kinda gross and are IMO used in a vain attempt to disguise just how tall the fenders are relative to the tire diameter. I think the new car's front fenders are a big improvement...

Ah I never thought of that, good points.

Yes. Tail lights are similar to the GR Yaris.

Wow thanks for pointing that out, really surprising they didn't. It such a clear and easy way to differentiate it. Would really look quite nice I think too.

Great photojob!
You might have swung me back from the GR 86 camp to the BRZ-2 camp

Would love some aftermarket wang to have a bit of curvature to follow the shape of the trunk and the fenders, rather than just being straight.
Even if it is a bit less effective that way...

Nicest photo I've seen of the BRZ. Could be the colour - lighting makes it look like a Miami blue

WoW... I hope toyota make a similar setup. But that wing... I think it’s out of place. It is too much racing whereas the rest of the car isn’t so extreme.

The wing definitely feels out of place but I'm not really a big fan of wings. The exhaust note however is pretty good!
