Please save all comments about price and purchasing until I officially sponsor and start a group buy.

There will be a discounted price around $550 if i can get 10+ people in (with additional discounts for photoshoots/reviews). Keep checking back on this forum and in the sponsored forum. I'd like to have it up this week.

Thanks!

Very interested thanks!

Looks good. Would this fit with the TRD japan kit? Does it mount just the 3 on either side? is there any screws or bolts through the middle?

Hmm, we have not tested it with that kit.. your in Canada, if your on the westcoast (Vancouver) PM me and we can meet up and see how it fits up.

Care to shed light on your body of work though? Or your website?



I googled and couldn't find anything at all.

Seems you missed my comment.

Sorry about that,
Street Zeal is a brand new company to specialize in the BRZ/FRS. Our previous business has been mainly with the 240sx fabrication and online parts sales. Our website www.streetzeal.com will be focusing only on the brz/frs chassis and launched when the products are made available either this week or next. We are located on the West Coast (Vancouver Canada)
The first batch is produced but we need to finish the fin designs and a few minor details before we begin shipping.

I have built up over 30 cars including drift/street turbo set ups but always lots more to learn from you all.
I look forwards to sponsoring this Forum in the near future and bringing you guys some unique quality parts for your builds.

Does your company have any sort of prior work to go off of? I'm just trying to find out more about quality standards, how pleasant you are to deal with, customer service, and things like that.

All I see with this is wide oval cut outs that will match perfectly with my quad exhaust and oval cut outs.


I'll totally be down to get an early unit to give impressions get some photos taken and spread the word down here in south florida

Plus if this fits with the series blue rear side fins I'm golden in terms of hiding the brackets.

In regards to the rear diffuser being functional vs. none functional its all going to depend on the "throat" of the diffuser (or rather whats in front of it). There is no flat plane before the diffuser which means air is going to separate/stagnate at the diffuser throat (the very start of the diffuser) and expand in a none controlled manner (which can potentially create more drag rather, than reduce it)

While the diffuser angle is fine (it looks to be about ~5-10 degrees) you need a flat area under the rear suspension/exhaust components for the diffuser to function as well... a diffuser

The Driveway Labs diffuser gets away with it as they have a flat section going all the way to the subframe mounts before the diffuser "throat" and an ideal rake/rise that extends past the car bumper on top of strakes to keep the airflow from separating.




In regards to my CFD results... the car has been altered to much to give accurate CFD results compared to a stock FRS

It has a completely custom front bumper & splitter, side skirts and smooth underbody (which I optimized to work together) lowered suspension by 1.4" and 255/35/18 wide tires on 18x9.5 +35 offset (every single thing I listed will & does MASSIVELY effect aero).

Mine is more of a unlimited budget FRS aero developmental wet dream compared to the standard I still have to pay my mortgage FRS (granted mine really comes down to fab cost)

We do but in a completely different field of metal fabrication. The FRP for us is a first and hence we will be offering a discounted price for those doing reviews etc until the part becomes established.

Looks like a nonfunctional part for the hella flush teenager crowd.

the topic of this thread is to evaluate and improve a product so any constructive criticism is welcome

[ft86me]

@streetzeal very interested, but a couple questions! What exhaust is currently on the car? I have a Ark GRIP catback and it does come down rather low. Also, currently have vertex rear bumper pieces on both left and ride sides of the bumper (lip kit) and was wondering if you guys have a solution for people with rear those pieces applied.

[BRZPDX]

The design is almost there, but I like where this is going.
