Josh, you fixed that grill. Your work is awesome as always.
The fake vent on the fender should go away if it's not functional or you can remove the black plastic insert on the fender vent.

I voted the last one. For me it is important for the kit to be agressive but functional, and not just some vulgar RICE looking kit. I want it to stay in the same design language/style as the OEM however, and with good quality and OEM fitments.
I will fisrt need to look at other options before deciding on one, I am thinking about 5-Axis, Vorsteiner, Amuse, TRD/STI if they are not bumper add-ons. Details: LED bar can be accepted if nicely intergrated, but important to have functional brake ducts instead and no fog lights. |

Good job on the front grill man. Might be just the angle but it makes the BRZ look way more menacing. Where's the FR-S body kit by wings =D I would totally consider driving all the way to Seattle to get one of your custom kits for the FR-S. You are like soul of the Photoshop forum and now your making kits from all the suggestions you got over the year, I'm sure almost everyone here will love your kits.

Will you be making a FR-S kit as well? I am curious how that one will turn out if you do end up making one.

- how will the oversized rear fenders be attached? If it is to be blended, it will be much more expensive and might have problems blending and getting the paint to work on mixed materials. - I think the 3" drop seems too extreme. If you drop the car, it will be scraping and not very usable on public streets. - I would prefer to see a more "interesting" front end. If you want me to spend $2k+ on a kit, I want it to look different. The lip itself would be just fine on that render and would be a lot cheaper - If you are going the RWB route, I would try to bring more RWB elements into it (extreme flares, extreme drop, extreme wings, etc.). Personally, I don't think the RWB approach is right for this car. Also, the RWB front lip is not carbon, but a more pliable material so it can be driven on the street. |

Beautiful work man, you have great taste. Im interested to see how you interpret the other type!
The only thing I would reconsider is the location of that sidemarker/blinker. Im sure the blub and wiring can be relocated to the main headlamps to forego having to fit that there; plus I dont really like looking at a lamp near there. |

Great render, however, for me the front lip just doesn't suit the car. It looks heavy (if thats the right word).
The 86 is supposed to be about lightness and agility as much as anything else, and for me the front lip gives the appearance of weight. Its just a bit bulky looking. Hope thats constructive in some way as not intended to put your work down! |

Idk how to respond. I'm not nessarily looking for a kit but if I saw one i thought looked better than stock I'd probably go for it. That said your design is very nice for the brz. But, I hate the way the brz looks to begin with and would prefer an frs kit. If you made an frs design Id openly consider it.
