I think it's actually the correct paint underneath.

I think you're right. The chrome is a port installed option so the paint should already be there.

Parked right next to a 2015 WRX in Satin White Pearl...

Nice find! Does it look better in person than in the pictures?

It definitely caught my eye when I glanced in the general direction. The front definitely looks very aggressive, but the back doesn't stand out as much IMO.
It definitely looks better in person (well the front does at least)

Went for a drive:

...and was a little irritated to find that my taillight condensation has become fairly extreme. The right light is totally fogged up everywhere. Time to take it to the dealer, I guess, and to consider getting a set of Tom's...

I'm not too sure about the WRX, doesn't look aggressive at all.

Installed this past Wednesday Flowmaster cat back exhaust. Sounds much better the OEM. Not too loud just right for me. Wife does not like it, oh well. I do.

Picked up an Escort 9500 over the weekend during black friday. Also ordered Laser Interceptor system that I will try to install next weekend.

Same happened to me recently and was the right light too.

I wonder if its more likely to happen to the right than left.

Sweet. Any noticeable difference?

What did you use to remove it, and was there any residue to clean off of the basic piece?

I'm on the fence about doing the chrome fender piece delete, as my BRZ is black, and the chrome is kind of a nice offset (but I'm not exactly a big fan of basic chrome in general).
