no word on engine modifications on the STi???

yes prova edition styling is crazy, its obviously meant to be.. as a full on race prep version, obviously very functional aero, i think it looks great - but obv not what id buy to drive to the grocery store.

moderators cant do anything about the membership on here, which seems to be a majority of young toyota/scion fan boys, with a few subaru stragglers (including a few cursed awd/turbo trolls), and just a handful of pure automotive enthusiasts. given that composition its no wonder the majority of posts are devoid of fact or useful insight, accompanied by sporadic frustrated responses. sad part is its still the best brz/frs/gt86 forum

in addition to the ratio, power and weight figures are actually very close to E30 M3...

Hi guys, I was wondering if one of you photoshop wiz could work some magic on the carbon hood of the BRZ STI. It would look great if that crease right above the headlight was blue like the rest of the body. Thanks

Prova Aftermarket parts

While searching for front under lips, I was able to find this brand called Prova who apparently displayed their newest BRZ in an autoshow in Japan. Anyone heard of them? Those aero parts look pretty sick.

Yeah I'm really digging that underspoiler and the orange pinstripes, I wonder how cool they'd look on DGM.

They are a well known JDM Subaru aftermarket company, they make very good quality stuff but it's $$$.

Yea, I pre-ordered my BRZ SWP. I would love to get that front lip, but according to the catalog it's going to be around 600$... Ouch!

This car is what Bruce Wayne would drive to get back to the Bat Cave (I mean that in a good way).

I don't see how that can be interpreted in a bad way
