I've seen enough Rocketbunny FR-S's, so I'm making an RB BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

VesperLynn · 02-28-2013, 12:11 AM

So after seeing the Rocket Bunny widebody kit, I instantly fell in love. The aggressive styling looked amazing and I wanted to do it on my BRZ. Turns out I would have to change bumpers. Am I doing that? Of course not! My kit is coming in in a few days and the work is about to commence.

For the finished product I'm going to do a mock up of different kits. The fenders are a must but the lip I could do without. I love the styling of the STI front lip and side skirts and will be getting ahold of those as soon as possible. So far my BRZ is a GBS mt skunked out with a full carbon top. Seibon vs style hood, carbon roof overlay, and carbon trunk with carbon lip spoiler. I'll post pictures tomorrow because its too dark outside for me to get anything good.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my plans for my BRZ with fellow BRZ owners and hopefully come out with an awesome end product. Thanks for reading! Will update tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the white hood, roof, and trunk! Painted CF body panels... so stealthy.

VesperLynn · 02-28-2013, 12:44 AM

So far the carbon isn't painted and I'm still debating on whether or not I want to paint it. I'm thinking at this moment that I'm going to leave it unpainted for a while so that I can the full tuner experience lol.

I bought a set of gold rota grids for my 06 STI and put them on the BRZ while the WRX was in the shop. The gold looks incredible with galaxy blue.

Cjymiller · 02-28-2013, 01:36 AM

Definitely want to see this.

Zaku · 02-28-2013, 09:17 AM

But the original rocket bunny kit is a BRZ with and 86 front.....anyways technicalities, in fact alot of them in japan are BRZ with the front switched, i have no idea why. I love to see your build, and your drive on the track or racing events. In the future.

sbxjap · 02-28-2013, 10:46 AM

did u get the big wing too?

VesperLynn · 02-28-2013, 01:12 PM

Trying to upload some pictures, not familiar with this forums image posting so if they don't work somebody should PM me and tell me the right way to post pictures. Hopefully it works!

So far the mods on the car are as follows:
-Seibon VS style Carbon Hood
-Stock style Seibon carbon trunk
-Seibon carbon lip spoiler
-Seibon carbon roof overlay
-Carbon alternator cover
-Cusco front and rear towhooks (add about 5+hp)
-Cusco front and read braces
-Cusco engine adjustable strut bars
-GReddy momentum cold air intake
-HKS Premium legamaxx exhaust
-Agency Power lightened pulley
-ACT 6-Puck racing clutch w/ Lighten flywheel
-Custom sub enclosure hidden in spare tire well. Kenwood 12" sub with Kenwood Excellon amp set right under rear strut bar in trunk
-Carbon vinyled dash and shifter trim

And yes, I did get the giant wing. I only did it so I didn't have to wait another month or two for the wingless sets as they are coming over separately from Japan. I'm going to install it on a separate carbon trunk so that when I want to I can have an obnoxious wing and just switch trunk lids. Super easy.

VesperLynn · 02-28-2013, 01:24 PM

And heres the hidden sub under the trunk mat. The guys where I live do an excellent job.

VesperLynn · 02-28-2013, 01:27 PM

And heres a picture from when before I installed the roof but still had the Rotas on it:

switchlanez · 02-28-2013, 01:31 PM

Interesting aspiration. I wonder how the STI front lip/side skirt will line up with the RB fender flares though. I look forward to seeing how your build plays out.

convoy · 02-28-2013, 01:39 PM

Looks sweet! I'm interested in you're Rocket Bunny BRZ idea, I was wanting to do something similar. From what I understand, the front lip is FR-S/86 only and maybe the rear also. What I wanted to know is if the smaller lower fender pieces will fit/look OK. I also think it kinda sucks that it's still difficult to only order parts of the kit.

Does anyone know if the kit comes with any template to cut the fenders?
