I'll never (if I can help it) drive in the super busy or hilly parts of SF.

I need to work on my down shifting (no blip, no heel toe). I shifted a bit early a few mins ago on a hill from 5th to 4th and the engine went to 5000 rpm Not at break-in yet either..

I think a front lip/splitter is all that's needed to compliment it. Maybe a rear spat as well???

Something simple and small, not large like a 5axis or TRD since imo, you'll need a full kit with larger lips (otherwise, it throws off the aesthetic balance of the car).

I already nearly always scrape if I'm not exiting my driveway at a perfect angle, so I'm not sure a lip is the best idea. But, post up some pics of what you were thinking.

I didn't realize how good they looked until I got them installed. I'm really happy with them.

Bonus pic for you:

Haha where's the fart cannon? Doesn't look like you're dragging its ass and making sparks.

I'd say you're good.

The 17 tails look so good. Personally I didn't have as much an issue with the earlier years' tails setup compared to most. But the 17s are just so clean.

Your FRS looks great!

I think we could probably pull off a semi-hard park. Whatcha think? I might need to throw up some uhh.... STANCENATION stickers for the extra horsepower though or everybody will think I'm just a poser.

I was thinking I'd get a front splitter and side skirts eventually. Definitely put up some pics for @Clipdat so I can steal some ideas

Something like these:

Always wanted these, but I don't think the company is around anymore:





The Varis lip is also nice if you want something a little more aggressive:



Any splitter that doesn't protrude out an insane amount (minus the race rods):

That looks pretty nice and subtle, any idea what the brand was?

This one looks pretty sweet: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/seib...ip-ta-502.html

Not gonna spend $600 on something that gets trashed the first time I exit my driveway though lol

Make sure you put the stancenation on yours since you are at stock ride height, and I will put an illest one on mine.

I think it was Dog Custom Works or something like that. I really want the kit. Haha

Akon has a polyurethane version of that Seibon CF version of what ever lip that originally was. Haha

I would like some kind of spoiler, but I'm skeptical about installation or how it would look. OEM BRZ or Legsport duckbill - both in CF.

I'd also kinda like a matte black vinyl roof wrap.
