Something like these would be great:

Will something like this actually exist? I don't really have experience with these sort of mods: Is paint matching going to be difficult? I mean, if you look closely, will you see that the bumper doesn't quite match???

I'm pretty sure the plastic part is an integral part of the bumper so those concepts impossible. You could do something like they did with the FR-S though.

Integrated: yes
Impossible: no
Difficult and in-need of an aperture bezel and then new grille and then stealth the bumper beam: yes

The purpose of the piece is to cover the bumper beam and the associated impact absorbing foam in front of the beam. A grill would need to be filled in at the top (like the FRS) to hide those things.

Personally, I think the FRS looks like a catfish. The "mustache" isn't the best, but the overall shape of the BRZ bumper and headlights is way better looking (IMHO, of course) ;)

I agree. I don't know where all you guys live, but if front license plates are required it's not going to be pretty anyway, and I'd rather mount it to that plastic piece than on the painted part of the bumper. Plus if you are getting a darker color like DGM it will blend in. I think the mustache is a little weird but considering the thoughts I just mentioned I can live with it. The FR-S bumper however, I don't know why but it always reminds me of the "impossibru" face...

Someone chop an offset license plate bracket to where the tow-eye is please...

Recent Toyta/Lexus design language has always reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it. ^ That is it!!!!! LFA and new Lexus GS fronts especially. Look that guy even has the 6 sided grill!!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol::lol::lol::lol:

No front license plate required here in PA, so the stache sticks out a bit more. I'm going DGM though so you are right about it blending more with that color. Hrmm...guess I'll have to see what becomes available and also how I feel about the mustache when it's in my garage. ;)

After checking out the BRZ in person, I believe the black strip may be removable. The strip doesn't seemed directly connected to the bumper. The bottom part of the grille, however, did seem directly attached. The pic below posted by M-17 in another thread shows a removable cover on the left most side of the black strip. I didn't try popping it out. I wonder if it is covering a clip that can allow the black strip to be removed.....

What do you guys think?

If you look real close. You can see the blue paint mask line bleeding over onto the black. If it was removable why would they mask it during the paint process, and not just install AFTER paint if it was seperate..my 2 cents. Plus all the subarus ive owned, all appear to have seperate black bumper trim, but it always ends up being one large mold

That picture reminds me that I am happy just the way it is! :wub:

That removable cover is for the tow hook. Picture of it can be seen in this thread:
