That is the problem. You should have ordered the FRS one since the base of our Canadian BRZ is smaller than the US version. I agree that the big style BRZ one looks strange and is too big.

I know the smaller one fits like a glove, because I have it on my BRZ.

Just so you know, the colors are all exactly the same on both the BRZ and FRS. Different names, but exact same paint color and code.

cambered my fronts

-9.1 Front and -15.1 Rear

Installed my Beat Sonic shark fin antenna a few days ago. Dropped my K&N air filter in along with a 5 hour wash and wax. Well worth it

30 seconds to peel off the sticker and 4 hours and a half bottle of Goo Gone to get off all the darn adhesive, but looks much better now.

Awwww. I like my BRZ gas lid sticker. I know it's not for everyone, though.

I installed my STI gurney flap. I got an STI front lip emblem replacement, but it's just a touch too big for the gurney flap.

Kostamojen · 08-18-2013, 06:35 PM

Hmm.... I still kinda want the Gurney flap, it seems to complete that car. Plus the underbody panels to reduce the .cd... hmmm....

Took her out to my favorite local twisty roads today and had no problems keeping up in the corners with a group on sportbikes (even with me on stock Primacy tires):

Nice to drive the same motorcycle roads as I do on my VFR800 and see that the BRZ handles it no problem and it's just as fun!

I brought it to the dealership and they said maybe the person went a little bit overkill... And they r going to have a very hard time taking that off... But also the majority of it apparently has to stay because that's the way it's supposed to be after rust proofing? I'm not sure if they r just jerking me around or if that's true... Can someone chime in and help me with this situation... It's very embarrassing to pop my hood because of this

(sorry for double pics... First time uploading from tapatalk)

looks like man explosion all over the engine bay. I would highly doubt that having everything splattered in the engine bay is "normal" after rust proofing

Diode Dynamics · 08-19-2013, 12:52 PM

Rust-Proofing? I didn't realize such technology existed! How is it done? Magic / Sorcery?

Seriously though, I'd make them clean that over-spray. I'd drop the car off and say fix it, since you paid for a service and had realistic expectations that they wouldn't be so stupid.

Get this one instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Impreza-STi-...fdc41b&vxp=mtr

Matches the dimensions of the original sticker

chanomatik · 08-19-2013, 04:44 PM

That looks much nicer! Thanks! I'll check it out.
