Pictures?

Congrats!!!

Damn congrats man! Super nice! I love the look of this Release Series. I just can't justify the price though! :/

Congrats! I hope I like it more in person than I do on the internet

I would consider bumping up to a RS 2.0 if the front lip is removable if people want to add their own lip kit.

Where did you buy your car at? SF?

Post some more pictures when you are able. The car looks good. :thumbup:

Why wouldn't it be removable? It isn't like they made a whole new bumper and chose to leave the lip portion unpainted. Probably held on by the same clips as the other OEM lips and maybe some double sided tape.

Congrats OP!!! Very nice in the outdoors.

Looks like Longo Toyota in SoCal

does it look like the hood/headlight and front bumper area misaligned?

Short version:

Correct, Longo Scion/Toyota.

Longer version:

The day after the RS2 was announced (Oct, 30th) I went to my local dealer to get on a waiting list. They were not familiar with the car I was talking about, so I educated them about the release announcement, and had them start "a list". They took my information, added it to their CMS (so I was told), and I left.

A bit over month later, after not hearing any updates, or a request for deposit, I called the dealership. The person I was dealing with was no longer employed there, and they had no record of my information in their systems. All of the salespeople or other representatives were away at a holiday party, so I left my number to be called back.

After another few days, I used their online chat to ask if anyone was available for me to chat with about ordering the car, and again there was no record of me in their system, so they took my information to be called back.

After another few days of not hearing anything, I used the online chat again (~December 16). I chatted with the representative for a while, explaining the entire process I had been through. He took down my information, and sent me his electronic business card, and said he would absolutely have a sales person work with me.

I didn't hear back again, and, I'm a bit fuzzy on details here, but I either used the chat again, or called the dealership.

January 5th, I received an email from a salesperson saying that we could chat and being moving the process forward. I called him and we spoke about the car I wanted to purchase. He was "unsure" of the colors that would be available for the RS2, and was unsure if it would be available with manual transmission. I educated him about the car specifications, gave him the list of what I wanted (no port-installed options), and he said he would contact me when he had more information with regards to allocation and release date.

January 6th, while feeling unsure that this salesperson would follow up with me, I contacted a friend who has quite deep roots in the world of everything 86/AE86 and asked his opinion on the situation. He gave me contact information for a salesman at Longo, so I started that direction.

I called the salesman, told him what I wanted, and he said he would put me on the list, and that I was the first person on. A couple of phone calls happened over the next couple weeks to check status.

February 2nd, we chatted on the phone, and it was time to decide what went on the car. After submitting to him my final build, we were ready for the wait for the car from Japan. I was informed along the way as to the status of the car.

The car arrived at the dealer on the evening of the 8th, was PDI'd on the 9th, so I booked a flight to LAX and picked up the car on the 10th. My paperwork was mostly completed between the salesman and I before I arrived, so I showed up, physically signed my agreements, and drove home.

@thatchmaster sounds like they should have given you part of the commission earned from the sale of the car seeing as you basically sold it to yourself.

Not too derail this thread too much--and we could continue this elsewhere..

It doesn't look too funny in person, I think the weatherstripping on the hood makes it look a bit off at some angles.

That said, I certainly don't expect body-line perfection on these at this price point. If these were $35-50k (base), I'd expect a higher fit and finish. Similar to fit/finish of a GT-R, inside and out--if they were 150k, I'd expect high-end European/Japanese interior and exterior attention. The money is going into the R&D, powertrain, and amazing computers.

Possibly, eh?

I've been following the car since the beginning/early prototype/concept/idea/rumor days, and was waiting until the right model came around (though it hurt initially not to pick up a monogram), and a time where I could add another car to the stable. I've been set on this for a while.

That said, the first time I drove one was yesterday, when I test drove my own car. This was intentional, as I knew it would slowly destroy me inside to know the car and not own one. Ordering one and flying down to pick it up without seeing the color in person, or having ever driven one was a no-brainer for me.

Love the color!! Congrats! So how much did it come out too? If you don't mind me asking.

I had to go through a similar process for my monogram. Everyone at my dealer was clueless.

Without having my paperwork in front of me--

If you were to go on the Scion site for the RS 2.0 and look at the base price for the manual transmission without any port or dealer-installed options, that's what I paid--figure about 10% for licensing/fees/tax. I didn't ask for anything else to be "thrown in" or any kind of discount, knowing how the Scion pricing is _supposed_ to work.

I wasn't terribly surprised, and was only basing my frustration at the time on the level of excitement I had for what would be my future car.

I'm just glad that I was able to connect with a person that had been doing this for FR-S owners since the car was released, and that I was able to get mine as soon as was physically feasible.

Awesome dude! More pics? Interior?

What is your opinion of the camel interior so far?

I will, eventually. Been out of the taking-lots-of-pictures-of-my-cars thing for quite a few years.

Funny enough, before I'd seen the car in person my initial idea was to replace the door panels, steering wheel, and dashboard cover with something less... two-tone, and save the parts in case I decided to sell the car. I'm usually not a fan of multi-colored interiors (GT-R, S2000, etc), and the pictures of the RS2 didn't sway me away from that.

Seeing it (and sitting in it, actually) in person is really so much better. I think most people will have the same reaction to the paint color.

We'll see what happens after the 'new' wears off, though I don't expect I'll be changing *everything*--maybe just the steering wheel for something thicker or Alcantara (TRD, etc).

Wheels and interior photos next ;)

So far only OP bought one ?

I think the stock tails look great on most of the paint options but for some reason this car screams "Kill the chrome" to me. Otherwise, :party0038:

Close up pics of the shift boot and knob:thanks:

Anyone have part numbers for this car yet?

They weren't in the system as of last week, but I believe they were supposed to be by this week.

What are the buttons on the center dash for? I thought it was for snow setting for automatics.

Do you mean the two black buttons between armrest and shifter bezel? If so those are for the heated seats

TRAC
VSC Sport

The center is a dummy plate (where the sport / snow buttons would be on the automatic).

Or further back? Heated seats.

Who wants to sell me the front lip and sideskirts for my 2014 Monogram...:(
Only thing I wished the 2014 special edition had...

No skirts here--just the rear and front lip spoilers.

oh right...i think the brz special editions have the side skirts then?

I'll still take the front lip spoiler............;)

They really nailed the design, IMO--the whole package is great. Best part is, if you want louder design, the RS1 is around. Subtler? RS2.

Yeah I really like the RS 2.0 I just can't justify financing a 30 grand car like that. Especially when in my opinion it lacks what a BRZ limited offers for much less.
