It's upsetting to me that the frs comes in this cool model while we get stuck with this baby blue turd on the brz side. I would like it very much if the brz was available with these options.

How is the color in person? To me it looks like a darker creme or beige color with some green thrown in.

The stitching is really cool. I like that they only did 1000, it make it seem more exclusive.

The color appears slightly different depending on the lighting, time of day, etc. It can appear almost white, or a darker tan.

What does it have that your BRZ doesn't?

Congrats! It's not a bad car to learn on, but if you drive anything else you'll probably notice that you can take a bit more time between shifts--the flywheel feels fairly light in this setup.

I really like the front lip and trunk lip spoiler. Wonder if we would be able to buy the spoiler?

Thank you sir! Congrats to you too!
My friend said the clutch from the twins feels a lot deeper or longer to engage. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. But so far I haven't stall anymore, just need to work on smoothing everything out, and getting used to putting left foot to work. Lastly hill starts are intimidating as heck lol.

The color and the interior mainly is what i really enjoy about this car. I like it a lot better than the hyper blue.

I'm not a sports car guy, nor a new car buyer. Always buy used. I got a hair up my .... last year and decided I wanted a little sport car. I did some research and test drives and realized the Fr-s was for me. I was going to buy used then saw the ad for the 2.0 release and loved the color wheels interior trim etc. I was ready to go shopping last weekend for a used car and boom there it was, dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse. New Fr-s owner. 228 of 1000. maybe it s overpriced, not sure but don't care. it is really nice. I always feel like those parking attendants in Ferris Bueller's Day Off that stole the old Ferrari driving it. Could have saved 15k buying used but whatever, only live once I guess. Do I feel stupid yes but when i'm in it and around it that feeling goes away.

I hear you on the used car thing--I'm the same way. Searched out a used monogram for months--then the RS2.0 was announced, I knew I had to have it.

If you want to share which number it is, I'll add it to the list. If not, no problem!

Congrats!

Just transferred Perrin 2.5 non resonated exhaust, skunk2 ProC coilovers from my old 10 series over and finally throw on the racerx fab LCA as well. Hope I can post progress pix of my RS2 here. Cheers
