The lack of availability of a dark green exterior color...example British Racing Green.

Edit: OK I'd settle for Highland Green (Mustang Bullitt color).

I don't like the tail lights, but I'll be getting the new Valentis when they come out (January but it's still early).

This might be dumb but..I don't like the silver calipers, I'm going to be getting a BBK in the future but I might consider doing a DIY to plastidip them to blue or red (+10 hp) in the meanwhile.

I don't mind the rims right now as the HyperBlue come in black glossy look, glad they came like that, I hate the FRS BRZ stock gray ones lol. Tires I definitely wish came better..it's a sports car you'd think they'd change the prius tires for a 2016 model.

I used to hate the mustache on the BRZ and wanted to first get an FRS, but it kinda grew on me tbh.

Besides those small things, I'm pretty happy

I have said a few times that I am actually surprised they haven't had a dark green version yet. It is a classic sports car colour but may be too European for them.

But Might Car mods!! Hahahah, it seems pretty harmless for a small visual improvement. Don't see much harm in it.

-edit I'm probably never gonna do it since I'm too lazy for this since it doesn't add anything but aesthetics lol.

Really wish it came with STI brakes though.

I agree

Agreed with the chrome tail lights being a little dated, errr... rice almost. I HATE the stock base headlights probably the worst. Should've gotten a BRZ strictly for the lights. I like the FRS bumper more though. But I will get around to painting the head light housing black hopefully this summer.

And the stock '13 exhaust tips belong on a Toyota Tercel. They look weak and do the car no justice. I swapped mine to some DC's.

It's a cheap fix until I get the BBK hahaha, and yeah I realized that researching a bit more, I'm not going to do it after a video, I'd research for hours before attempting it. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Temperature-Brake-Caliper-Paint-System/dp/B004BQ87YK"]Something like this right?[/ame]

Like I said though, that's like one of the last things I'd do, by then I might already have a BBK lol.

I don't like the antenna. The 1st gen whip, the new sharkfin, all the aftermarket ones, they all look weird to me.
That roof line would look so much better with no protrusions.
