I'm thinking this ebay stuff for the sides and rear, but I haven't found anything for the front that I like. Anyone can chime in here with suggestions.

Ebay.com: Scion FR-S Bottom Line Side Skirts + Aero Rear Aprons + Rear Diffuser

ugh, I did a wire tuck/shave on my sti, and seeing this makes me want to do it again. DAMN YOU!!

Looks amazing.

I say keep it simple on the lip. Luckily for you there are way more options for a front lip than there is for the brz, but I like the subtleness of the bottom line kit (partial since i own it lol)

I'm a EE by education and trade and had a year long internship in Bell Helicopter's Avionics and Simulation Hardware Lab doing complete gutting and rewiring of milspec simulation cockpits. I was a wiring harness freak. All that being said...

This build makes me super jelly. Fantastic job on the harnesses. It's super rare to see them done CORRECTLY. Major awesome points. Subscribed.

Thanks! Well redo it then, and share the progress with us. Also, get some of our parts to improve the look and functionality of the bay - www.ChaseBays.com

I'm with you on the simple, that's what I'm all about. I feel like that ideal shows through the car. That's why I'm not finding anything I like, everythings too extreme for my taste.

Thanks for the kind words! Thats awesome, wiring should be a form of art whenever possible. On that note, almost anything on a car should be approached with an artistic eye. I see whatever car I'm building as a big complex canvas.

Wow I hadn't seen that. That may be the answer. Super simple and elegant! Thanks!

I've been looking at build threads for over a decade and this is one of the best I've ever seen.

I also really like how you turn some of the super time consuming custom creations into products. Keep up the good work and I'll keep poking around your site looking for stuff to buy

Also an update of sorts. I removed the Vortech supercharger (10 minutes) so we can install a smaller pulley for more boost, went ahead and removed the AC compressor for an Air Oil Separator.

Preposterous!!!! Never. Keeping AC. I just meant we removed the compressor to get that awkward hose on the PCV outlet. It's back on now. =)
