That looks pretty sweet! The only thing that kinda throws me off is the bulge around the projector headlight

I like it minus the faux air vent above the front wheel well

Great Chop as usual, thanks WoW

That just seems to be the trend on cars these days and I don't think the one on the MKII concept was functional but I could be wrong.

Wouldn't be that hard to drill some holes to make it functional.

your right, a more popular design to pull air out of the wells would be ventilation directly behind the wheel rather in the upper quadrant of the fender. Where the vents located in the FR-S are typically seen as non-functional or inefficient on most cars.

However if we are talking about well pressure, and 0-low speed heat exchange. Then a vent directly above the fender would be ideal, as seen on the Ferrari 458 Italia with top mounted wheel vents.

The only way for those vents on the FR-S to be functional is if it were properly ducted using air channels in the well. But for some reason i seriously doubt Toyota would engineer a functional fender duct in this car, as i dont see a serious demand to pull more air out at the performance it has and the weight. It just doesn't have enough load.

If anything its just for looks, and i personally don't care much for it.

And it needs something there for the crease below the window to end at, right?

That is an incredible rendering of the final version! I agree that this is likely how it will look except the headlights appear to be too chromey on the rendering and I really hope they don't use those rims. The door handle wells look too round as well. As much as I'm sure the production version will have the stupid fender vents,(based on close ups of the mules) I really think they look cheesy and cause the car to lose appeal to serious car guys. I think it's really sad, because the car holds it's own without the gimmicky vents. I like what car & driver did with the space, it was much more respectable looking. Again, seriously incredible rendering.

If the blue rendering ft-86 was what I hoped for in the frs, you would need to remove the front plate, remove the fender vent, make the rims more of a 5 spoke design(same size), change the color to a gun metal grayish-silver, and I think the headlights will basically use chrome accents with a darker material for the base.
