Has anyone been able to verify if you can put it on a zenki 86??
I was looking at getting the full carbon fiber Rexpeed STI kit. FT86speedfactory said it doesn't. yet Bayson R, and others that look almost identical to the OEM "STI" lip and I've seen those replicas on the 86 ( ...though, I haven't seen an Subaru OEM one on an 86 yet). If anyone knows- are the holes and mounting points on the bumpers of both an 86 & BRZ the same? I know the bumpers are different, but I dont think one is any wider than the other one. So since the STI lip only goes under the bumper (unlike most 86 lips that go a bit up the bottom of the bumper too) then as long as they are the same width, it should fit fine. Maybe the protruding edges under the front sides of the bumper won't stick out as much with the 86 fangs, a more toned down look even.
Sorry,
Brainstorming as I'm typing this. But to me it makes sense. Just wondering if anyone has yet? Photos? Specifically the Rexpeed carbon fiber STI lip.
