Hyper Blue fender garnish on a Series Blue BRZ - with Pictures
 

I never liked the look of the chrome fender garnishes available from Subaru so when I saw the ones available on the Hyper Blue edition I figured it would look good. Nice touch of black to accent the side skirts. I ordered it from: http://subaruonlineparts.com/subaru-...ck-p-4113.html

It came really quickly, I bet a local Subaru dealership would be able to special order it.

I think it looked better white. But my opinion doesn't matter lol, glad it came out good though and if you're happy with it... awesome! Looks good :cheers:

looks good!

... but it also looks exactly like mine that i just wrapped with gloss black vinyl. lol

If I squint it kind of looks like a black popsicle now

edit: or an all-black chef's knife

Would probably look awesome with the original wheels.

Agreed, alas the weather isn't cooperating and still have the winter tires on. Might post another picture once the summers make their way back on.

This is going to be my next mod. I have been set on ordering this part from the exact same website. How sis you take the old blades off and with what? Also, how hard/easy is it to place the new blade where the old one was?

my dealership didn't put the chrome one on (thankfully) so it just came like what is in the 4th picture. If you take a heat gun to it with some fishing line, it should come off just like debadging a car. It's just stuck on with 3M tape so it could get taken off pretty easily.

It looks like you have a dark car, not sure how visible these would be. You could try taking the chrome ones off first to see if you like what is already there.

Well considering that I am going for the "blacked out" look, yes I definitely want them black. They would match perfectly with the tinted windows and the black rims I am getting. If you look at my car from the side all that is chrome is the rims and that fender blade.

Sooooo, how easy was putting on the Hyperblue ones? any trouble with the alignment or the tape?

It was dead simple, only cleaned the fender with a clean cloth and verrrrryyy slowly stuck them on. They actually slot into the recesses that are there which I wasn't expecting so it made it pretty straightforward.

So what year BRZ do you have? For some reason it doesn't show up for 2015

the black trim is only on the hyperblue by default, so 2016.

But they didn't change much having to do with that part from the previous year. It would probably fit with no issue.

it would fit all years. they haven't touched the fender in any way. basically this is the chrome one just painted black.

Yea had to call them, just to make sure. I ordered it as well. Quick question, did you need to use any adhesive remover from when you took the old one off?

I just got my black fender trims in the mail today.

I will be installing them tomorrow. I plan on buying some heavy pound tested fishing line to remove chrome ones. I don't want to use heat gun, as it will be low 90s tomorrow here. Does anybody know if Goo Gone is needed?

Is the garnish a replacement part or a sticky on bit?

The Garnish has clips under it .

The Fender trim is there by two-sided adhesive.

i did the same thing, but I bought used chrome fender trims and wrapped it with vinyl.

There is a lot of blue in the title and not a lot of blue in the pictures.

Wouldn't a black BRZ Premium have this same trim?
