The kit doesn't seem to be catching my eye, I think I would rather save the money for extra tires and 6-7 track days.

I agree, it seems too low and the wheels are too big. I would probably like the front bumper if it didn't have that chunk missing out of the front intake

other than that... I hope they sell that spoiler by itself

I rather spend 2k on performance upgrades rather than looks. It looks good imo, but performance comes first

Now that the "oooh shiny" has worn off I'm in the same boat. Gonna drive it stock, and then upgrade performance parts gradually as I get more and more time with the car.

I also realized that I'll never be able to leave my apartment complex without destroying the bumper.

In any case all these kits pretty much confirm to me that this car doesnt really need a kit at all.

agreed i dont like the wider look on it and the side skirts protrude a huge amount.

i like the modeista side skirts and rear its very subtle and nice just makes the car look lower.

jedichimp · 04-12-2012, 01:52 PM

5AD front + sides with the TRD rear diffuser and lip spoiler...that's going to be dope.

jedichimp · 04-12-2012, 01:57 PM

^^ The skirts seem to fill out the car a bit more making it not so narrow and adding a better profile/stance. Me gusta

Love this. It's the best way to go. Long term development. Many happy miles.

#87 · 04-12-2012, 02:39 PM

Not liking any of the huge wheels, kit looks decent tho.

Mr.Jay · 04-12-2012, 02:43 PM

kit is decent I like how it makes the front less bland (especially around the mouth there no fogs or lip is too bare)

not sure if I would pay under 2k for it tho lol

maybe just the lip spoiler and front lip but Im sure there will be lots of other coming out with kits so better to hold off me thinks

86design · 04-12-2012, 02:56 PM

hmm I dunno about 2k on aero parts...like some one said...I rather put performance parts....or at least wait for more companies to come out with more aero products

these side skirts are just a slap on to the body...how the BRZ/FRS dont really have side skirts...these things just slap on with side bolts...must be pretty easy for install

Guff · 04-12-2012, 05:24 PM

The kit looks great in pictures but IRL it looks kinda odd.

We need a WRB mockup just for kicks.

Leepox · 04-12-2012, 06:14 PM

No amount of body kit can fix that underwhelming rear-end. Can someone start pushing new tail light designs please?

Blaster · 04-12-2012, 07:45 PM

Asphalt <3

poormans_LFA · 04-12-2012, 07:46 PM

so with wheels you're looking at over $3g's. hmmm.

jedichimp · 04-12-2012, 07:52 PM

^^^ Underwhelming?! You crazy? Much better than a lot of rear ends out there. Is your only complaint the taillights? Vinyl overlay them or you can wait for some really crappy ebay LED types. They're not my favorite but not that bad.

poormans_LFA · 04-12-2012, 10:38 PM

after having some time to digest this kit my feelings about it have definitely turned a corner, especially up close visuals of the various pieces in how the are attached to the body of the car.

jedichimp · 04-13-2012, 12:54 AM

My before & after version. Still need to do the rear 3/5 shot. Probably wouldn't go for the R5:F but thought I'd see what the stealth chrome looked like. You would need to run adapters to run the 9.5" though. Stupid 5x100 pcd.

Mari0 · 04-13-2012, 01:35 AM

the lip spoiler is awesome!

edit: Also, what kind of exhaust does it have (in the video)? Is that the TRD one?

#87 · 04-13-2012, 01:38 AM

Will they offer wheels in 17" ?
