Brz Mustache
 
I went to McDonald's and came back to someone parked like two inches from my front bumper. Upon closer inspection it seems like the mustache does not clip into the bumper correctly and somewhat flatter in the middle instead of rounded out.

Of course I'm not 100% if it was like that before, but I just wanted to ask you guys if it's common to be like that for the BRZ.
I want to find out if the dude actually hit me parking and caused that.

Here's a pic of the clips I'm taking about at the top edge where the mustache meets the bumper:

Maybe a picture less zoomed in would help.

Try taking one showing the entire front bumper.

From what I can tell (of the pics) you'll actually pull the mustache out towards you since it looks like it was pushed in off the top few clips. The mustache is supposed to be flush with the bumper to where you can't see any of the clips.


If anything is broken or you need a replacement, I have a spare 'stashe.

wait... the mustache can be pulled off of the bumper? I got two holes in mine from the license plate mount that I removed and just covered it with vinyl wrap... if it can be removed then damn why didn't I know about it lol

Yes, it is pushed in a bit. Any tips on how to pull it back out. Can't stick my fingers in behind the mustache to push out because there is a loose peice of Styrofoam behind it.

On the 2017s, yes.
