Carbon fiber wrap
There are three places which have black plastic (fake carbon fiber) on BRZ.
Please refer to the image as below. I did only see one post which did the carbon fiber wrapped in the side part. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18150 Do you think that will look better do the carbon fiber wrap in these three places (front side and rear) and is it achievable (no adhesion issue) ? Please let me know. Thanks. Pic1 front Pic2: side Pic3: rear |

I'd leave it the way it is. The "factory fake carbon" is just meant to be the outline of the reverse lights and rear fog light of the car.
Looks better as is.

Not only would it look bad, but it would adhere very poorly because of the texture.
There is a vendor that sells actual carbon overlays for the rear bumper area surrounding the reverse light, check the marketplace forums if that's what you're after. |

http://seiboncarbon.com/store/products/ta-style-carbon-fiber-rear-lip-for-2012-2013-scion-frs-subaru-brz.html I have Subaru OEM diffuser on my car. The vender cannot confirm that will fit or not. I did see two additional vertical piece below the rear fog light slot on their overlay. Their white BRZ with OEM diffuser which was in the SEMA 2012 did not put the overlay on it. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21093 So, I am not show that will have fitting issue or not. Thanks. |

Basically anything textured is not going to hold the vinyl well. |

I am not sure the (c). It looks like totally replacement. My concern is that might not fit my BRZ OEM diffuser. Front: S- Craft http://www.frp-craft.com/cgi/pd/pd.c...view&bango=100 http://brz-86.net/brz-lab/brz-lab03_06.html It looks good, but it need to drill a hole (second link). I am not sure this is good idea or not. You might need to ask the original post. I am not sure how he did. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25642 Thanks.
