Just take the teenager Scion badge off.

Subie FTW.

Taking the teenager badge off is not a problem. Definitely an easy fix. Just slap a toyota badge on it and your all set.

Update: Went back to Club4ag and saw a post from the Club4ag founder that said exterior wise, the only thing that was altered aesthetically were the suspension height and wheels. Otherwise, that's how basically the FR-S will look like out of the factory. Performance mods that were done were adding a greddy exhaust and brembo brakes.

I guess I was wrong because when I first saw the pics, I thought that a custom-made bodykit was made for that particular car for marketing purposes.

Those brakes are stock too? Look like brembos

Inspired · 12-15-2011, 02:09 PM

Dont understand why they didnt use a Toyota badge..

Brakes are greddy's BBK. Not Brembo's.

Anyways, here is a breakdown on the mods done to the FR-S:

Exterior:
--> Lowered height
--> Aftermarket wheels

Performance:
--> Greddy exhaust
--> Greddy's BBK

Like I said in my post above, I guess I was wrong because when I first saw the pics, I thought that a custom-made bodykit was made for that particular car for marketing purposes. With that said, I can now say that the car looks really good out of the factory if all the mods done to the exterior were just lowering the height and aftermarket wheels.

That's the final production model you guys are looking at (Minus the lowered height, wheels, exhaust, and brembo's of course).

Toyota really nailed it on this one!

TK-421 · 12-15-2011, 02:50 PM

All I see is a nasty AE86

e92_m3 · 12-15-2011, 03:37 PM

Here's how my ideal FR-S will look like:

e92_m3 · 12-15-2011, 03:51 PM

Some more inspiring pics.

Asphalt Grey:

California Orange:

Celo green:

Mellow Yellow:

EI red (Which stands for Expensive insurance red)

Stanceworks:

TE37's anyone??

If the new Camaro and an FR-S had an offspring:

Widebody anyone??

Ohhh I like those renders^

On the real pics, looks pretty good. Just not a fan of clear tail lights.

aajami · 12-15-2011, 05:04 PM

Eh, the styling is still not my cup of tea. And frankly, you put bigger wheels, moderately lower suspension, a BBK, and an exhaust on any car, and it'll look significantly better than it does from the factory.

Don't get me wrong -- I commend Subaru and Toyota on making such a pure machine. I just wish the styling wasn't so ugly (my opinion, of course).

It's all good man. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

My brother does not like the looks of both the FR-S and the BRZ.

Crimson92 · 12-15-2011, 05:32 PM

the widebody one....yummmmm

klammer · 12-15-2011, 08:11 PM

Looks real nice. Hopefully some go to accompany the show, if so....

Slow_335i · 12-15-2011, 10:52 PM

This car is a winner, can't wait to see them on the streets!

Huge fail on Toyota's part. They will lose a lot of sales just because of the Scion. The Scion badge just has a bad stigma attached to it.

The Subaru is the more mature looking car. I wouldn't even think about getting the Scion.

I know you'll say it's still a Scion, but if your a car enthusiast you will know that the Scion FR-S is basically the Toyota FT-86, but with a stupid teenager Scion badge slapped on it. So what if people say that you have a Scion? They could talk all they want since these people don't know that it's actually the Toyota FT-86 in Japan.

Just debadge the car and your all set. Just slap a toyota badge on it after. Definitely an easy fix.

They're Greddy's bbk, the car is "tuned" by them. Exhaust, wheels(19x8.5f and 19x9.5r), and bbk. Saw this on another site, but these are very tempting!
