big black plastic retainer - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does it look kinda stupid? Yeah. Want to know why I like it? Because I don't have to drill the bumper, just the black guard; whereas FR-S owners have to drill their bumper for plates.

I think some closeups reveal it already has a pattern on it. Sure, it's not "CF look", but it's already similar and looks awful. It should be body colored. Not sure that would even save the design.

What's the difference really?

A guess it's only a minor difference, but I think that aesthetically speaking, the BRZ looks better with front plates whereas front plates on the FR-S look out of place since they have to be drilled directly into the bumper skin.

Ok, I can agree with that. I used to run front plates on my Evo which literally has no place to mount them other than on the side of the bumper. Looked awful. 3 drilled holes in the bumper looks better now...

I actually always liked the stock provisions for side-mounting plates on the Evo.

At this point I don't mind. It looks beautiful to me. I just want to know price and drive one.

Wait, what? I didn't care if the dealers had brochures or not. There's a lot more information available online than anybody at a dealership can offer me at this point.

I went because I wanted to check out the various paint options in person rather than seeing them through a computer screen.

He very kindly wrote down the paint colours he believes were available: "white, black, rally blue, silver".

Oh, sorry. Thought you were alluding to something else.

Have you seen it? I'm sure people have posted it but I can scan it if you haven't seen it yet.

Oh no worries. Just hope to get my hands on one soon.

I think the Canadians got ripped off anyway. :P

I did a search on the Internet and it seems like the other scans posted were bigger. This one is just folded twice to become about calendar size. The outside 4 pages are the front, back, and a couple pages on the specs and stuff. The inside 4 turn into a poster with what looks like a WRB Premium and a BRZ GT300, also WRB.

tranzformer · 02-08-2012, 11:49 PM

BRZ GT300 poster would be nice.
