anyone tried to paint the BRZ mustache body color?
 
wondering how it'll look without the black mustache.

I would think awful. I personally like the mustache and think the BRZ bumper looks better than the FR-S because of it.

That's why I got CBS.

This is the answer if you don't like how it looks. Either that or get an FR-S.

I never said i don't like how it looks. just wanted to see the effect of it in body color. CBS is not a good color to have a true feel of the mustache in body color. Body is shiny shiny, mustache is mat black.

So then that answers the question.

I'm thinking yellow foundation on Ned Flanders.

That or Charlie Sheen with a mustache heavily saturated with cocaine with food colouring to match his skin-tone.

Here's some photoshop renders from another thread of the mustache altered to match the color of the car. (*Credit to Snoopyalien24*)

Like a sir! haha

I was actually curious about removing the mouth guard/mustache and putting in a mesh grille... Interesting.

Gords_zenith 01-14-2013 07:54 PM

I'm wondering if they originally designed it without the mustache,but had to leave it in for crash standards. Looks really natural to not have it....hmmmm

chenshuo 01-14-2013 08:11 PM

now i'm really interested in painting the mustache WRB. how to remove it? who has WRB color?

Turbowned 01-14-2013 08:47 PM

I don't think it'd look too good. Different texture n' all that. Hence why I prefer the darker colors for the BRZ because they hide the 'stache a lot better.

sbxjap 01-14-2013 08:58 PM

It's part of the front bumper. Also, if you cut it out, the foam absorber and reinforcement bar will be visible.

I know it's part of bumper since I met a member at a meet and he had to get his bumper replaced... Twice actually, since dealer ordered/received wrong bumper.

ericvanderwoodsen 01-14-2013 09:44 PM

Thinking of getting mine smoothed out and painted gloss black, but seeing that SWP paint might be nice too,...

Yea it cant be removed unless you like foam or wait for a kit that extends over it..

PMok 01-14-2013 10:17 PM

yeah i wonder if someone will come out with a cover piece that is smooth and can be painted over... kind of like the CF overlays that are available for the rear "diffuser" piece.

Just paint it gloss black like the BRZ STI Concept

Paint matching it changes it from a mustache to a mouthguard :D

Sport-Tech 01-15-2013 02:45 AM

Just looks SO much better with mesh only - such a pity...

See, I thought it always WAS called the mouth guard since it's unveiling in November of 2011? I've always called it that. I hadn't seen it referred to as a mustache until recently.

I'm thinking of getting it, the side mirror bases and rear diffuser/exhaust area vinyl-wrapped gloss black.
