It is available from today, June 18, in conjunction with the 86 on-sale date. The package is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase downforce for greater handling stability, while maintaining the vehicle's wind-cheating 0.27 drag coefficient. The aero package consists of a new front bumper skirt, side skirts, rear bumper skirt and large rear spoiler.

It is available for $3,000# and is exclusive to the high-grade 86 GTS model (manual and automatic). The front bumper skirt has vertical fins to control air entering the front grille and dual canards at 12-degree angles to optimise handlin stability. The side skirt design includes a rounded leading edge to assist airflow evacuation from the front wheel housing.

The rear bumper skirt has a profile that projects horizontally, to manage air turbulence from the front and fin and assist in evacuating under-body airflow. The large rear spoiler features horizontal 'winglets' on the uprights, to help generate downforce and optimise handling stability. The rear spoiler centre section is painted gloss black on all exterior colour offerings.

Take away the huge ass wing, it actually looks cool.

Holy shit, they grafted the body kit from the Celica GTS onto the FRS.

Jesus Christ Didn't we all know this is what Toyota planned to do all along?

That rear wing is absurd.

Doesn't a spoiler produce downforce so the rear end sticks better? The problem with the FR-S is not the rear end sliding uncontrollably, it's the lack of power to make the rear end slide period!

[REVolution]

That spoiler is probably down right useless. All that body kit does is add weight to a car that had a sole purpose of not being or having weight. The kit minus the huge wing is decent, but they seriously need more power. I am curious as to how much they are robbing people for this Aero Package.

Didn't know I designed shit in the future, that's fuckin' awesome!

The kit looks alright but that wing is very odd. I agree with Rev that this needs more power to set it off.

Not really, considering who helped make this car now

The kit still uses the stock rims which already had a problem filling the wheel wells properly. Now with the kit, the wheels look even more undersized. The FR-S review will be mostly ready next week, look for discussion on the many aspects of this car that Toyota got wrong... and right!
