I don't know why they changed this for the NA market when Europe and Japan had both the LED daytime running lights on with the headlights. It can't be for safety/light regulations as other cars here have them both on (example Audi A4)

Congrats! But won't track duty be harsh on Raven?

I was thinking it wouldn't show the black rubber dust that collects all over the rear of the car as much. Plus it'll match my helmet now! And long ago I recall someone posting that the spoiler is actually functional making a little downforce with less drag so I'm looking forward to lower lap times of, oh, 0.1 sec, heh.

I'm not electrically gifted so I just purchased one of these from projek, there are other threads involving similar members doing this but I don't have them handy. You should find what you need here

Man...

I've been trying to get a hold of a Monogram where I live... I was just told that Toyota of Puerto Rico will only bring 9 units (one per dealer), only in WhiteOut and automatics... WTH!!!! Isn't this the opposite of what the Monogram is supposed to be?

Wow, that's even worse than us in Canada...we have only whiteout, firestorm and raven though we have choice of transmission as long as supplies last.

I feel bad for you guys ): but they DID say that they will only come out with 2000 fr-s. It's more exclusive than the 10 series which I adore...

Only a tad more exclusive, but that doesn't mean they should limit the options so much... to artificially make it even MORE of an item, but crushing the main purpose.

Or you can go with this method for less than $5.00

You got that right. I actually think its because this is an exclusive that they could be so uncaring about the idea of giving us choices. I actually hate that this Monogram is exclusive to begin with, its not even deserving of being exclusive because the reality is...the spec and items in a Monogram is simply standard equipment for most GT86s and a good portion of BRZs. At least the 10 series had items you couldn't find in a GT86 or a JDM 86 GT Limited. I'd happily sacrifice the exclusivity just to get the colour I wanted and even better, allow everyone the chance to buy one whether they could afford it right at the start in 2013 all the way to this car's end by 2016-2017. This Monogram would be a cruel joke to anybody who's either too young today to drive, not affluent enough to get one today or quite simply not up to date on their car news only to find there's a chance they won't offer these options again on a Scion version.
