BRZ STi Style Side Skirts (ABS) Installed on FR-S
 

I ordered the BRZ STi style side skirt from BaysonR on Ebay on Monday, and receive the whole pacage on Wednesday. very fast shipping. But didn't have time until today (Sunday) to get it install.

The instruction is easy enough to read, the whole installation takes 2 hours, kinda long (because I am no pro). Anyway, the side skirt looks great on the FR-S, and installation is much easier than I thought. I only have 2 car jack stand at home, if you have 4 jack stand, you could save time to do all the once. I have to jack up the car do one side first then the other.

The side skirt quality is OK, but you pay what you get. I painted it gloss black to match my BRZ STi style rear apron. So far I like it.

Looks great, I want to buy those that the rear but still don't know which front lip do buy.

what paint did you use for the gloss black finish ? any drilling involved ?

thanks

Doesn't look great, too much contrast.

Installed in Australia????

Poor car.

Looks good! I'd loose the red diffuser though ;)

Any drilling into the sheet metal required?

No drilling required as per installation instructions...

I asked because on his, it definitely looks like he drilled into the rear wheel well. Look at the silver bolt in the driver side rear...I'm curious to know why he had to do that. Did the bracket not fit?

I never noticed and just realized this was an FR-S ;)

Instructions for BRZ show no drilling required

The quarter panels and wheel wells are identical, so there's no reason he should have had to drill, being an FRS vs BRZ install (assuming BRZ really is no drill). I'm curious to know what the OP says.

OP, could you also please post some further away photos? I've only seen this on WRB BRZ's before, so I'm curious to know how it looks with an FRS. I'm planning on getting this for mine as well if I like like the look with the HT Auto front lip, since this one was suppose to be no drilling (unlike the other side skirts, which all require that sadly)

I posted this in another thread last week. There should be no confusion on whether or not drilling is required

Looks like screws go into the fender well to me...

Can't see photos in the OP...could you check images and or post links?

Your "PowerR" sticker isn't big enough.

Any further away photos, especially from a front 3/4 view?

Like the way it looks but its ABS plastic so wont hold up very well, right? Maybe someone will make a similar one with polyurethane.

looks not bad. yeah would like to know some update on drilling part as well

there's no drilling involved for the side skirts or the rear spats, only front lip you need to drill

I didn't get any instructions for the rear spats ?

rear spats just bolt on, no drill require at all. they come with some 3M tape too. let me know if you have questions.

Do you have any further away photos? I'm very curious to see a 3/4 view from a bit further away.

I noticed there were weather strips as well, which part of the spats do they go on ?

thanks

They go on the top edge. Along with the weather strips, the lower you go, the 3M tape don't touch or stick on the car.

could you kindly take a picture for me if you have time ?

thanks

Also, did you use the double sided tape provided or did you use 3M tape ?

thanks

I just the 3M tape that comes with the rear apron.

Are you a wizard? Lol. I have these same skirts and 3M won't hold them on the car at all.. -_-

make sure you get a strong 3M tape.

also, try cleaning the car surface first.

I had hard time in the beginning, but after getting a really good 3M tape and cleaning out the surface, it worked nicely.
