Excellent! Those aspects are never easily swapped out with a different version at all! 🙄

Yes, but you can also swap out anything you don't like about any car in one way or another. The OE design is what we judge them on. The OE look of this car will be worse than the show car.

The FT-86 doesn't have that ugly BMW Flame Surfacing
 
Okay so yeah so i just whatched a video on this car and they have stated that this is pretty much complete the only things changing are the oversized tires and wheels and the tail lights.. Other than that the body is production specced now i am sure there will be some raising of the car to put it in line with roads in america which sucks balls... also people that buy SCION branded cars are not looking at the car from a factory standpoint there looking at what they can mod in the car so please maybe YOU mister MUSTANG look at it from a factory standpoint becuase most mustang owners only care about the engine and not the athetics of there car. I am a scion owner i have a TC that i have done tons of work too and when i bought that car i didnt even look at what it was when it was on the show room i didnt see the car the way it was i saw it the way it was going to be....
 
the front wheel wells looks REALLY odd to me. Do not like.

However, this pic is WICKED-- the look on the car is like "yeah..." with a mean grin on its face:

So you are for the all show and no go appeal of Scions? I thought my TC purchasers wanted to get a cheap car for the teenage daughter.

so what you're saying is you bought a low-power, FWD chick coupe and decided modding it would be a good idea, so you're going to dump even more money into an engine that's not the most mod-friendly? sounds like a winning idea to me

and by mod friendly, i mean VW's 2.0T, hyundai's 2.0T, etc. all very upgradable very easily.

should have just ponied up for a genesis coupe 2.0T and a beyondredline stage1 kit...~230 WHP, ~260 WTQ
