That's hilarious. Here the FRS/BRZ is the car for stoners in their 20's who want to look cool, but be different from the standard WRX douche. Unfortunately at this altitude that choice is even worse, the WRX guys at least get gains from mods here.Western Washington is very similar. It's actually Subaru's hottest market in the US so we experience the same types. All of what you said is the same here. The S2000 guys are sort of stuck up at times though and are typically Japanese purists, Cambodian, or Philippino and they dump big money into their Acuras and Hondas while the Cambodians are simultaneously stealing cars and parts from everyone else lol.
We had one young kid that worked for us that bought a wrecked S2000 and one of my techs rebuilt the front end by tubing it and it turned out amazing. From the strut towers forward was this amazing fabrication work that he accomplished in just a weekend and it was even built to fit the factory parts but what does this kid do? He zip ties an FRS bumper onto the front along with the headlights and rocks it like he is something original. Both S2000 and FRS guys hated him and talked so much shit about him, and we told him his car looked like shit and was an abomination for the work our tech put into it. Same kid now has an FRS and thinks he is going to make millions from the pyramid scheme he got sucked into. They are all cut from the same moron cloth.
Please tell me you have a pic of this abomination.
