Those led strips on the side look great! How hard was that?

The install isn't bad, you do have to pull the bumper. And our cars don't have the proper plug on the chassis side to allow them to turn on, so I just tapped the harness they provide into the wiring for the driver's side boomerang DRL.

Where did you purchase the lip? Do they sell the rest of the side skirts and rear skirts?

Thanks!

Anyone know if these fit older BRZ models? I asked for the 2015 front lip from the dealership but I'm pretty sure they ordered a 2017 version.

Is there a gap between the bumper and the lip in the middle of the car? The install looks like the lip sits flush but I can't tell from the front.

Thanks for the DIY. I relied on it today from start to finish. Car turned out great!

Thank you sir! should mention I also watched your video(s) on youtube as well. Not many videos of the 17's on there so it helped me get through the awful winter.

Not sure. It is a hard plastic type of material but it does flex laterally a bit.

Thanks for the DIY, it was a big help last weekend when I fitted the lip, less than 24 hours after I bought the car. The Australia tax has this lip at almost $1k from the dealership, it was a lot cheaper to source from Japan and courier it over.

It's also interesting seeing the difference between cars from different markets. The wing end fences, mirror covers and shark fin on my WR blue car are gloss black compared to the body coloured ones in this thread.
