Thanks @Siblue for the last two

 

remove those mustang stripes and keep it clean. because of that i'm out 🥴

 

GR86 solar orange special edition had their C pillar stripe sticker. Now I could be making this up completely, but my hazy memory tells me I read on their forum someone chose to not apply the sticker and left it in the trunk. Not sure if it's applied by PDI or dealer. Maybe someone can ask them?

They also had a Morizo that day and the 24 CE wheel doesn’t have TOYOTA GAZOO RACING on them like the Morizo does.

I don't think Toyota is ready to give up on Morizo's exclusivity just yet, they'll give us poorer middle men the BBS but not the etching.

I'm glad my 2023 doesn't have those ugly zits on the front & rear. Though Blue & Morizo wheels would have been nice.

Ahem, they are beauty marks. I'll take them considering they are parking sensors and should benefit daily drivers.

If people want that mess it should be optional. If one can't manage to park without such an aid, perhaps practice is in order. We're not talking about a Suburban here!

 

Meh, didn't the Ford RS and Subie Sti already cover this blue? IMO, HM and Smoke are the best colors.

 

Toyota covered their own color 8W9 in 2019 with a Corolla Hatchback and RAV4.

 

Oddly enough, I love this on the regular CHB but not on our GRCs. I think when I get tired of my ice cap i'll go with a more subtle blue.

 

This blue makes me want to make stupid decisions with my money.

 

Wait, people actually notice parking sensors?

Also my only problem with the blue flame is I see too many RAV4s in that color, and I’m saying that as a RAV4 owner.

 

Hardly there’s a lot going on with the styling already.

Are there 2 different versions of "white" for MY24? Is one of those the "smoke"? Interesting, wonder what it looks like it person.

 

Looks like the "Windchill Pearl" that was exclusive to the Morizo. My preferred colors would be WCP followed by SSR.

 

I am hopeful to get mine next year, been on the list for awhile now and I refuse to pay a markup

 

Are you number 1 or 2 because otherwise getting a blue flame is significantly reduced

That's what I said, then I got impatient. Good luck. There's a forum on here somewhere that lists dealerships without markup. I spoke to one (Belise in Warwick RI) and they said they could get me one as soon as it's available, but "available" was pretty much impossible to find.

do you have the link to this article? Need to read for myself

Love it...

 

I like the blue but really doesnt seem anymore special to me than any other CE. Also it’ll likely be available on the MY2025 cores in typical Toyota “special“ color fashion.

 

If you are willing to wait . Honestly if I had to wait to till 2025 I might just wind up buying a Lotus Emira and keep daily driving my FiST. The whole point of the GRC for me is good daily that’s fun.
I have daily driven the FiST for 5 years now and while I love it I run 200TW tires on it that are not especially great in the rain🤣 I would love to have a car again that when it’s pouring cats and dogs I can just jump in and drive without worrying about if I am gonna have traction or not.

Why not just use better tires? 200tw on the street for daily is sort of insane. The FiST was catalogued as amazing simply on the tires it came with.

 

Because the Tires it came with Bridgestone RE50’s are nearly impossible to get and stupidly pricey for a 17 oh and to add the one drawback on the FiST is stock the chassis was never designed to accommodate a 17 inch wheel so you have exactly two tire sizes that fit 205/40 17 and 215/40 17 without really rubbing. A lot of FiST owners go down size wise to find tires and or better ride because more sidewall. Stock FiSTs ride hard. Did I mention RE50 is a 200TW tire stock . Did I mention how much insane grip I get running 200TW lol. You step off 200TW tires on these cars and it kind sucks as it gives up a lot of grip. My Grey on has Indy 500’s on it as the cheaper tire compromise the previous owner put on it. They suck in comparison , sure for the uninitiated they might be fine but ya drive the car like I do and you will notice. Anyways I have driven the FiST daily for going on over 5 years now. It’s would be kinda nice to drive something else. A rabid pokémon gets tiring some times in traffic lol. Ya my FiST is not stock it’s got a Turbo Technics S280 Turbo tuned by Tune+ pushing 284 whp. 🤣

 

Look which one of the three is not sliding sideways

 

Think I am in love...

 

Showing up in port

 

Damn already. Time for the markup wars to begin all over again....

 

 

Fitst delivered BF? Someone posted on Facebook...

 

Can’t read the dealer info

edit: nevermind, it feels like a month i guess? https://www.grcorollaforum.com/threads/socal-grc-roll-call.390/post-88015
