QFT!
im not a fan of 4 tips. reminds me of a pirate ship preparing a full broadside.

exterior, i only like the spoiler. im on the fence about the aero kit.
i could care less about the "performance" parts. 3rd party stuff will be cheaper and less "factory", adding to a more unique car.

i would like the seats if not for the red stripe.
i might go for some engine dress up kibble like the radiator/oil cap. maybe the shift knob too.

TRD GT86 > STI BRZ concept and the Prova BRZ.

I agree...I think what it is is the BRZ just looks good in black, and that's that. Honestly I don't think the TRD kit is all that great except for the lip. I've said it once and I'll say it again...the nur ring kit or whatever that unnamed one is called still looks the best imo.

Agreed!

I agree they need to make a yellow 86...I guess the burnt orange is the closest we will get...or Scion will do a release series in yellow.

You know the stance on this one pictured above looks good!

Hard to tell with the rear. Need a shot of the underside to see how far that diffuser goes under. If not that far, a simple panel would turn it into a decent stabilizer for the rear.

The diffuser looks stock. If you go to the "live coverage BRZ reveal" thread, scroll down to the photos of the suspension. You can pretty much see the bottom of the car. It is almost completely flat, with a few bumps and stuff here and there, but the covers end at the rear suspension, and the rest is more or less exposed. The "diffuser" I believe is blocked by the muffler case, which gets dirty airflow coming off the suspension and diff.

To make the diffuser fully work, I think you'd want to put some covers over the rear suspension components (perhaps cut a hole for the diff for cooling), and then do something about the muffler...assuming it can't just be moved a little.

And SUB FT86, no worries I think the tack ons look bad too I even don't like the lid spoiler, bare trunk for me. They make the car look out of proportion, particularly the front extension piece. IMO the nose is perfect stock. If I put side skirts for aerodynamic purposes I would try to put them out of sight. The stock car has the perfect proportions, just rides a bit high and has sorta big wheel gaps IMO.

Yep, even down to the wheel choice IMO! Well, in a smaller size.

WTF is up with this rear "jr" spoiler. I guess they forgot to measure twice and cut once! That thing looks ridiculous!

If you were to put the TRD duckbill, you'll have to debadge the BRZ. Maybe that is a partial deterrence so that you can't put the TRD wing on a Subaru. No faking the funk!

They try to follow the line on the boot. Looks ok with a GT wing but TRD duckbill definitely looks better.

I wish someone will do a small front lip like the STI concept for the 86.

Modellista, get in my belly. Right now!
