BTW I'm jealous that front plates aren't required where you're at. I finally got a fix-it ticket for mine the other day. So grumpy. Looks like you got white STI door decal and placed it on the font plaque or something? I don't think I've seen how your front bumper is set up in detail.

It's the STi Marque Plate - https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/pr...roducts_id=515

I'd be rockin the same one if VA didn't require front tags.

Thanks! I loved them too. I recently changed it up to more fitted wheels yet functional stance... trying out the classic Subaru blue and gold (abundance of photons ).


My friend has been wanting to model since last winter. We finally made it work today so here is her 1st photoshoot outside my office building. Introduced her to the photographer, chatted w/ her mom on set, invited @OmarGC over, and chatted with other Subie guys. Starting with Omar's fresh as snow white on teal blue. His ridonk XD9 lip makes me want lipped wheels too.... waiting for Prodrive GC-010G in British Gold to come in a better fitment.

WARNING: Becomes NSFW as you scroll down.





As she got more comfortable (there were 7 people on set), she started to show more skin...



And had to duck when kids/family walked by lolol



Also got some rolling shots in at the end. Will post everything after the photographer finishes post-processing. When I shared this to FB, a model/car enthusiast friend PM'd me to do shots of her so she can make them into prints! Just need to figure out the photographer situation. So I guess stay tuned for another shoot lol

Lol I missed the fun apparently

the blue car is just wow

Been meaning to detail my STI marque plate after @chanomatik raised a question about it earlier. It's a high quality sturdy metal with matte black finish and shiny lettering. Mounting is nice... comes with screw spacers as you can see in one pic below so that the ends of your screws don't touch the bumper. Also includes screw caps for a nice finish. The small detail which I love the most its slim Euro style dimensions which expose the small grille along the bottom of the stock license plate holder. Kind of an accidental sporty aesthetic that's also functional in not impeding as much airflow as USDM dimensioned plates to the radiator grille. Also doesn't have as much of a bucktoothed bumper look, hehe.

Photoshoot is up. Too many pics to post here so I will link it (NSFW). Here's a candid taken before the shoot by the photographer's friend:

I think the TOMs taillights should have come stock on the BRZ. It just matches the boomerange LED headlights.

Teasers from today's shoot. Will post more after post-processing is done.

Lol thanks man but I think it's my town... the KC Metro area tries to be like the East/West coast major cities but it's stuck in the super-Conservative Midwest where people got nothing better to do than drugs, make babies, or preach in this "Bible Bowl." x] KC has deep creativity and culture but on a much smaller scale. You know how beggars can't be choosers? The models/photographers here are starving artists who jump at any chance to get their name out, somewhat like beggars. But on the East/West coasts, they'd be more like choosers. Also helps being one of the few modded imports, let alone BRZs, out here (because CA still runs thru my veins). If I still lived in CA or say FL like you, my BRZ would be nothing special and I'd have to pay serious cash to get people to produce shoots like these.

how much to you recommend the rubber extension for the STI lip? Working on getting my STI lip kit and was wondering the necessity of it. I am in Nebraska for an idea of quality of roads, although the KC roads in my opinion are much better haha. Stock height too.

By the way great pics!

That chick is really hot, but I'd rather look at your car.
