If I had to buy one of the above as is, I would go with the BRZ's aesthetics. I love that spoiler, the side vents look great (I could go without the 86 logo, don't shoot me), and that plasma blue is a color to die for. I'll probably get the FR-S regardless, since most of the parts will be available for both models but it's a close call!

BRZ guys want the FR-S/GT86 front bumper....lol. I reckon it all just depends. I won't be like a must-have item for me. I just think the GT86's headlight led's look stupid so I like the FR-S headlights over it's JDM sibling. |

I just like the color options, front bumper and 86 side logos too much on the Scion to go for the BRZ. I even like the tach of the FR-S better too. The BRZ looks too tame and is trying for an upscale feel on the exterior, that I feel doesn't match the soul of the car.
I'd like to see if the BRZ has more sound deadening, or higher quality materials, but other than trim/I'd doubt it. At the very least I'm going to do an HID retrofit or buy the BRZ lights, or import some euro GT86 ones. |

I don't want the FRS/GT86 bumper. I am 100% happy and satisfied with the BRZ. There are many others on here who are happy with the BRZ as well.
