What bothers me the most about the production car is why Toyota decided to round off the headlights when the 3 concepts before it all had a sharper cutoff.
The rounded lights disrupt the flow of that sweeping character line

Such a simple design change too.

Toyota should have done this (middle image):

I even threw in the LED strip light from FT86 Concept I for added measure in the far right image. Sigh...If only...

^^^ The 3rd light would have been just awesome.

Not long now.... Sold the ute a week ago so i will be trying to organize a pre order with the Toyota dealership as soon as they know what the FT-86 is..... Its crazy here in Western Australia that the dealerships still dont know a thing about the car...

I will probably force myself to wait and see the Subaru version and specs sheet to compare.. My only hope is they both get released within a month or so of each other...

^^The aftermarket will quickly take care of your styling dislikes.

I actually like original headlights design. FRS chassis don't have much sharp design, but instead they have soft curve design. I think, stock headlights go well

I have to agree that I like the original better. However, I am still wondering about the missing LEDs and what's the deal with that. I guess we won't have to wait much longer to find out.

LOL I hope this was meant to be sarcastic. The last thing I'll ever do is buy ebay headlights...

chulooz · 10-30-2011, 05:28 PM

But you will worry about a few LEDs? No big deal, its not an Audi.

Third one is awesome, but 2nd one isn't bad either. Those make the production headlight looks

Toyota was like, " no, you can't have that headlight, the car is too cheap for that headlight."
