Haha...you get used to it. I hit mine 3 times already.

Yeah, the height of this car is just right on the limit of being able to poke the nose over parking curbs. I scrapped one once, but I've also accidentally pulled up to far on others but cleared it, just barely. Once lowered and a lip added, forget about it though.

Also watch out for the parking spots that pull up to a sidewalk without the small stop curb. Those are usually a bit higher and will most certainly do damage.

I've always been super careful and have never hit the front bumper when parking, but I was underneath installing my RevWorks UEL the other weekend and saw that there's a pretty big bash/scrape underneath there which must have happened from one of the test drives at the dealer before I got my grubby paws on this BRZ.

Thats one of the benefits most other BRZ owners got by ordering and having to wait, no one else test drove your baby, mine was sitting at a local dealer for a couple of weeks with a $3000 over MSRP overcharge, while I waited for mine on order at another dealer until one day when I walked in and was able to haggle the price down to MSRP and bring it home, but it looks like in the 20mi it had, someone must've not been as careful. Oh well now I won't feel bad when I scrape it sometime.

Back on topic, my recent install is the RevWorks UEL header, even with otherwise stock exhaust it gives the nice Subie rumble and has noticeably reduced the torque dip, great mod and no CEL after a 200mi yet using O2 spacer

I might even keep the rest of the exhaust stock and use the money for a tune instead.

It's the first scratch is the one that hurts the most. I've tried to be very careful pulling in and out of driveways, but there's been times I couldn't avoid scraping the front under bumper slightly. I just learned to live with it and enjoy the drive. Plus, you can't see the damage unless you look under the car.

$0 mod.

What and where exactly is this? I would want my ride to be as quiet as possible with a little noise sometimes.

silly OCD question: how much do you think the under bumper replacement part will cost?

zzz P.S. whoever made these are very inconsiderate.
