OEM STi badge in front bumper of BRZ?
 

Anybody can please share the link to buy the OEM sti badge that goes in the front bumber/grill of the BRZ ? I have seen that the BRZ ts version in Japan has the STI badge in front and it looks nice.

Im basically looking to buy the OEM badge that fits perfectly to the BRZ. Also if anybody has install it , how hard was it?

Thanks!

Great, how hard is it to install? does the bumper needs to come out?

Thanks

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't have this on my BRZ. Looking at the diagram in the website, it looks like you might need the bumper off for a screw. But other then that, it looks easy.

no bumper can stay on. Its held in by 2 screws you just hand tighten all the way down. It can be a little tricky to do without taking the bumper off, but I would rather mess around for 20 mins then take off the bumper and risk it not properly lining back up perfectly again

If you take of both under trays from the under side of the bumper you can access the are you need. I did this when I installed my sti badge.

To do this without removing the bumper, you need:
1) small hands
2) Philips screwdriver

In order to install the badge, you have to remove an air guide at the side of the grill. It is held on at the same 2 screw location as the STi badge.
Note: the badge will only go in one place, the top of the grill.

1) Put your hand in and feel for the 2 screws. If you can't find it use a mirror, or if you don't have a mirror that small, do what I did and use my phone's front camera. Remove the 2 screws. And take the bracket out of your grill. See photo 1.

2) Put the STi bracket in and screw it down.

3) Snap the STi badge on. And secure it at the single screw hole. (might be helpful if you thread the screw in once before the actual install)

4) it will look like photo 2. Notice 3 screws in total.

Is it normal for the badge/bracket to have a little play or wiggle room?

If you have small asian hands, you can install this without a problem with the bumper skin intact.

Mine sits quite firmly.
The screws are tapping screws, so try to screw it in until the head sits flat against the Base. Use your hands to feel it or use your phone/mirror to see. Caution though, don't over do it either, since tapping screws might just strip all the threads.

Can you post a pic of you badge when you get a chance?

My badge was shipped from Japan on 2/9, im not sure how long it would like to get to NJ, but i cant wait to install it!

Here's mine if it helps :thumbsup:

Looks really good! The touch of the red sti badge looks awesome on the blue rally color. I have the same car

i feel like this badge looks good, but its a little misleading and pointless..
