@mitch t that is a great product you have there. Can you ship internationally and if so any idea what i would be looking at for shipping to Melbourne Australia?

Draco_PR23 · 11-12-2014, 09:28 AM

I am planning to buy this product and use it with my FW V2.0 lip (STi style).

Turdinator,

PM me your full address, and I will get a shipping rate. I will go through my friends buisness shipping account, so I should be able to get a pretty good rate.

On the FRS, the bumper starts to curve upward much earlier.

You are probably correct - there is almost a square corner on the BRZ (which I have scratched that corner already

) Looking forward to seeing (and hopefully buying) the BRZ version!!

Will the BRZ version comparable with front lip?
Thanks.

Guys,

BRZ development is complete!

Here are some pics. as you can see, the shape of the BRZ bumper allows for a much larger plate.

Am actually not planning on getting into making splitters commercially. I have done a bunch of them, as my background is in racecar fabrication, but to do them correctly is difficult, and almost everyone wants something different.

Right now my efforts are all going towards making more applications for the skid plates. I will be doing the Scion Tc this week, then hopefully the C7 corvette.

Price? ETA?

MysteryMachine,
Parts will be ready to ship on monday, at the latest. the MSRP will be $160.00 plus tax and shipping, but I will post a link here tomorrow offering the first five kits to folks here on the forum for a special price of $130.00 plus $10.00 for shipping, no tax.

the BRZ kits use more hardware, and are larger, so they are a few bucks more expensive than the FRS kits, but they cover better, so it pretty much balances out.

mitch t · 11-19-2014, 07:23 PM

kit are available now! here is a paypal link to purchase, for an intro price of $130.00 plus $10.00 shipping.

Thanks!

We were too late for the UPS guy today, but it will ship first thing Monday morning!

Very interested in your feedback!

Doesn't the radiator lose a ton of effectiveness when you remove that black panel underneath that forces air through it?

mitch t · 11-21-2014, 11:18 PM

Malt,

all the original panels stay in place. you only remove the underpanels for installation.

i left them out for the pics, just to make the skidplates easier to see, but I reinstall them before driving the car.
