Monogram Raven vs. Series Blue CWP - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

gt8613 · 09-02-2014, 05:40 AM

I know this is a tired question. But between the two... which would you choose?

It might be time for me to finally buy (within the next 2 months).

Reasons for Monogram
> Headlights
> Drifts more wildly?

Reasons for Series Blue
> No re-badging needed.
> Comes with sides skirts etc and I won't feel compelled to do any light exterior cosmetic modifications right away.

I can't think of anything else at the moment. In terms of looks I have gone back and forth. Both cars look amazing in person (regardless of the misguiding 2d internet pics mocking BRZ or FRS)

Series. Blue interior is super sexy.

This thread is just going to turn into a preference war. You can't go wrong with either one. I'd say go with whichever one you can get at a better price.

Series Blue is more expensive. If price is not a issue for you, then Series Blue hands down. The sti aero package and interior is nice. This isn't a bias answer either as I have a Monogram which is very nice as well. But if I had the option of getting a Series Blue then I would have.

these is a price difference.

If price was the same... BRZ
I'd go for the cheaper of the two... likely monogram

I will always pick the FRS over the BRZ. Mainly, even though they are near-identical cars, because of the minor cosmetic differences. Bumper mouthguard, silver trim panel, subie badges, fender trim, ect.

And - again, my preference - I don't like the blue accents. I would prefer red or yellow.
