Unfortunately, OP is someone that has been asking the same questions over and over and over again for almost a year.

I think being "confused" about his car choice may be the least of his worries.

Have I? Are you my secret stalker/admirer?


I didn't know I had asked

"1) Is it possible to buy GT86 headlights?

2) Upon release of the 2015 model... I believe Toyota said they will offer previous owners to upgrade to the new brushings etc responsible for the better handling in 2015 models. Has this been made available?

3) I am finally in the market to buy.... Would you pick 2015 FRS or 2014 Monogram?"

or

"Is it wise to get a car with a spoiler so when you ultimately do want to put an aftermarket spoiler.... you don't have drill holes and such in the non-spoiler frs?

2) For the 10 Series, assuming they are still around, can their glowing badges be turned of or modified to not glow? can they be changed to Toyota?

3) What is your opinion about the TRD parts Toyota is selling for the frs? the sway bars? wheels? lowering kit? exhaust? are any of them worth getting.... or aftermarket is a better bargain?"


over a year ago! Oh wait if I did... does that make me able to predict the future since none of the 2015 things existed? Ah is that why you are following me and love commenting my posts?

Ownership term should be factored in. If planning to hold onto the car for a couple of years, ie 5 or more, then you will really enjoy the higher grade car's features.

That and all those extra bits on the higher grade will be covered by your new car warranty

Are there any good quality HID headlights that don't have reliability issues?

Also, do the nav units in 2014 Mono frs and brz have a slot to put in a memory card directly?



I was at the Subaru dealership this last weekend and was checking out the series.blue. I noticed it had a memory card slot as well (towards the left side of the unit) for your music needs.

If you're already thinking about the Monogram, get it. It comes with The GT86 headlights you want and it has HIDs.

I know about the Monogram. Trouble is that there a not many left esp. ones that are not silver.



I am just considering my secondary option (the new 10 series kind silver looks great).



Also I don't want to get a heavily molested car.
