Today I took my BRZ over to Vinyl Styles, a local vinyl car wraps place (http://www.vinylstyles.com) and had Lyle rewrap the lower front lip in matte black. The clearbra under the front lip was all scraped up from a few unfriendly driveways so I figured it would be nice to re-cover the bottom with maybe a more durable surface that would be easy to repatch later if I scrape some more. My BRZ is still at stock height, so it's kind of crazy how easily it seems to scrape even without lowering. And that's probably the main reason I won't lower the car any or install any front lip extensions. So I did the next best thing, which is to add some black vinyl along the crease at the front lip, it kind of gives the same look as the STI or Koru/HT style lip but without bringing the edge of the car any lower. I kind of like it and may consider doing a similar under-edge strip along the sides, to kind of mimic the subtle look that for instance the ChargeSpeed kit offers, but at much lower cost. Lyle did my lip for $80 but said if I need replacement vinyl later it would cost a lot less. So here are the pics, it's a litle hard to see the matte black piece under the car, so I juiced up the brightness a little for the first pic.
