Welcome to the forum. I like the stripe package, it looks particularly good on the white car with the other black accents. Not sure I'd like it on other colors but on the white it looks great!

Must be a shadow/reflection of something. I don't even see anything out of the ordinary. LOL

Thanks! I fully agree... The black/white combo is great and suits the car well (IMO).

Strangely enough the Canadian versions of the special edition came without the stripes installed. You had to request them.

Definitely agree they look good on Firestorm (and would probably look good on Lava too) but if I had to pick I'd prefer the ones that were originally available in Europe in 2012-2013.

I, too, like that black stripe against the white...makes for a nice contrast!

If I was going to have them done outside the kit (which is what is on the car) I would want them to flow better. The one's on the trunk don't follow the same tapering line as the ones on the roof. I would want it to be a single flowing taper as if it was a continuous stripe cut out for the windows.

Hey forum people! I got my BRZ back in July and I've been lurking but I'm just now signing up. Here's my car with its 2 sisters:



I'm currently working mostly on modding the miata, but I'm taking the stock BRZ to the track (Motorsport Ranch) in March for a HPDE thing. Can't wait!
