Post here if you have a BRZ and want Five Axis to make the FR-S aero kit for our cars

I just emailed Matt at Five Axis about this and he says they don't have a plan to make a BRZ version of their FR-S aero kit. I, for one, would buy one if it was available. If you feel the same, add your comments here and feel free to let Matt know directly. Maybe if Five Axis see the dollar signs they'll get on board with the idea.

Well, the kit fits. Just get a different front lip, plenty to choose from. And the Five Axis kit was inspired by the FR-S Concept. So what would they base the front lip for the BRZ on?

I believe the OP's intent is not to design a new kit inspired by the BRZ, he just wants the front lip to fit the BRZ bumper

I am interested, but I do not think the five axis will make one for Subaru BRZ.
They only work on Toyota family car (Lexus, Scion and Toyota).

5AD has worked with Honda family cars as well for years. It wouldn't be a stretch at all for them to start a relationship with Subaru.

I could see them wrecking shop on what ever the new BRZ, WRX/STi and Outback have to offer.

I've always like the 5AD designs and would love for them to make a BRZ specific kit. Prolly wouldn't rock it, but it would be cool.

The 5AD kit is too bulky, I'm not a big fan.

More options is never a bad thing.. I don't mind the look of the 5 axis (think they did a good job of accentuating the car's natural lines).

Seriously, what would they need to do? New front lip. DONE. I'd like to see it, but can't promise I'd buy it. I do agree that more options = more better. So far the only BRZ lip I like is the STi version.

I'm on board if its
a)as light as factory
b)flexible/urethane mix like factory, not full fiberglass
c)has DRLs
d)cost is not a issue if its pretty and sensible in design, I expect to pay top dollar for such parts

I'd like to so loose the mustache
