The lip is subtle yet good looking at the same time!

Rims are not bad as well...

Those should have been oem wheels, very nice. Maybe there will be a package deal with those included.

I like the lip but I'm getting an FR-S. I have mixed feelings about STI accessories mixing with TRD stuff, but it looks so nice.

I did a little digging. That looks to be just the canards on the side of the STI front lip.

I would prefer a cheaper version of the lip and maybe those wheels in Hyperblack on my future white BRZ..

I wanna see these on an FRS just so I can yell at them through my window

I like the lip too, and I wouldn't mind spending $500 on a quality part IF my car were mostly garaged or a show car. But I can't justify spending that much for something that would see the abuse that a daily driven car would see.

So if I were to get it I'd get a replica.

Love the front lip. I think BRZ should have came with these wheels:

Moot point because 5*114.3 and not compatible with the BRZ.

I own basically that exact car. I've got those wheels in my Garage right now..Damn nice looking for stock..but a little heavy for a 17".

Also, with an 8" width and a 53 offset, They might need spacers to clear the BRZ suspension

No, that's a hard-rubber made aerodynamic part to be put on just under the edge of an under spoiler.

Since WRX STI comes with a front under spoiler as a default, some want to put this to protect its under spoiler, to get more aerodynamics, or just to make it like "low-riders".

Something like this

I don't have a pic of BRZ/FR-S hub handy, but if it's the usual Subaru ~8mm hubcentric tapered thing - decent 5mm spacer needed to bring those to factory offset does not exist. And you're gonna have to swap studs to go with 5mm spacer.

I was told 5mm spacers and studs would likely be required of my BBS wheels as well; +53 offset on a 7.5" wheel. If this is the case, I'll be selling my sets on NASIOC, keeping the stockers, and buying something classy to replace them. I simply do NOT want to fuck with studs.

You're right, forgot the BRZ was 5x100. Why Subaru!

Don't worry. Next year's BRZ will have 5*114.3 and a better engine! /sarcasm

Yeap. Makes me sad too. I'm gonna try to measure scrub radius and see if 5mm inward would push it into positive territory. If not - I'm gonna use'em for winter rims.
