okandrew wdym wdIm? You don't know what I'm talking about at all? Stevie Wonder can see the similarities.

haha yeah i get it and these pics are illustrating your point well but it still doesn't bother me

hahaha what is seen can't be unseen. Though it doesn't really bother me, it's more of a funny coincidence.

Yes. I am hoping I'll adjust to it, though since I've purchased my BRZ I'm slightly less poor and just as fiscally irresponsible so I'm hoping Seibon comes out with some real slick stuff that I can replace the OEM stuff with something sharp.

Are you looking to change the lights? Or the rear bumper/body kit?

 

[GR86]

the factory spoiler appears to be a separate piece, so i'm sure aftermarket companies will come out with different style replacements... it also looks like it covers about a third of the trunk's length, so not sure how spoiler stands will be mounted; it'll look weird not scooted towards the rear...

The lights are so-so for me, not a big deal personally, it's the other stuff I'd like to have options for, bumper and what not. But also when it comes out I'm also going to know what options HKS will have, so for me budgeting is going to be a big deal.

well, at least some other people thought it'd look better with a round fuel door...

FUN FACT: this car is equipped with a widebody kit that's +43mm per side, 86mm total

Your looking at it wrong (to paraphrase Steve Jobs) -- Toyota GT 2000

That fuel door looks really tiny... no?

Welcome to the forum @Roy Batty. I wonder if that was something Toyota deliberately did or it's just a coincidence.

Not surprised.

The new Supra shares a lot of design features with the 2000GT and its clear they tried to do it here too.

A similar discussion popped up in a thread over on FT68Club forum where I found the picture and idea, thought it was interesting so decided to share.

yea, little bit, haha

but considering how rare [if ever] this demo car will be refueling at your typical 'pump,' ease of refueling was probably not a top priority... it's probably not that bad regardless

i just prefer the round shape

I see more inspiration from the NSX rear when looking at the GR/BRZ.

Does the GR86 have any fuel door lock anymore - I have original FR-S - and there is a latch inside cabin near floor door sill - Does this new GR86 have that latch in cabin? Or just push on it to open?

 

[TRU-BOOST]

The fuel door doesnt bother me. What is pretty lame is that it has a fuel cap. I've been spoiled by my Fords that all have capless systems.

Push to open.

I think the shape is a very cool nod to the 2000GT.

It is just push to open but the car has to be unlocked. I had an interesting first fill up trying to figure that one out.

 

[60Strat]

For the life of me I can’t remember what video I saw that pointed out that the GR86 fuel door is a tracing from the GT2000 pop up light

 

[GBmcgowan]

I'd be interested to hear why they went with that shape. It does look a bit odd now that you've pointed it out.

I heard it was a homage to the Toyota 2000 gt , the shape of the headlights is identical
