Bayson R Motorsports Bodykits (good or bad)

[jonathan9573]

Sorry to ask so many questions but this is seeming like a pretty substitute for the TRD kit. Do you think it would be possible to maybe heat up the abs and tweak it a little to possibly line up a little better? Really it doesn't look TOO bad. My main concern would be the overlap on the fog light. Im am planning on removing the license plate so the holes really wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Well I just ordered the front bumper!!!! I have to say I'm kinda a perfectionist and am not going to put this on unless I am TOTALLY satisfied with the part. I will post pics and install photos as soon as it gets here and am able to test fit it to my car.

Curious to see your test fit, I've been eyeballing these too.

Anyone that wants to post photos of the BRZ STI side skirts? I'm very curious to see photos from underneath for the mounting points.

Can you post some pictures? I really want to get an STI lip for my BRZ but debating on where to get it from. I heard that I should stick with PU due to it's durability, and I know Bayson R only makes it in ABS, how durable does it seem?

I look at it this way.....factory body kits are ABS. Poly doesn't seem to have as crispy edges as ABS does

Are they really? Seems to be that when I google PU or ABS front lip it's OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of PU.

Tapatalk is being incredibly stupid and keeps putting my post in a different thread. I don't know if it's because I had quotes from a different thread in it or what.

Go to this one and I have some pics and stuff in there.

All the parts came with weather strip (the rubber edging) along with all screws/bolts. Friends were impressed with how well and easy it was to install.

CONS: the only problem i had was the front lip, it was a tight fit and it didn't fit flush, some parts did not line up very well either(specifically the fog lights area). Licence plate holes were not drilled correctly and had to do some extra work to really get the license plate frame to fit along car.

overall was very satisfied with quality and how it looked in the end.

I got the rear aprons and I got to day very satisfied

Can you take a picture of just the rear? I'm thinking about getting those splats too

And do you think the oem diffuser would fit on this as well?

Well I LITERALLY just got the front lip in an unpackaged it. First thing I have to say is the packaging is very well done. It didn't come in a box but was basically wrapped in a bubble wrap, heavy duty cardboard armor and a whole lot of box tape. If it was going to get broken it would have to get run over by a truck. Also had "fragile" box tape around it to. Not that that usually helps but it was still there. So after i got it out of its armor shipping cage it looked very good as far as quality. The finish is very smooth and crisp. The edges are a tiny bit ruff and i do mean tiny bit. I will most likely take a bit of 300 grit sand paper to them when I test fit it. The ABS is quality thickness. Probably about 1/8 inch. There is 4 metal brackets on the underneath of the lip to attach it to the car which are riveted to the bumper and not screwed which shows more effort to me in quality.

It comes with the rubber edging where the lips fits up tight to the bumper of the car with is AWESOME. Leaves a very nice edge, also a very nice addition.
Then a few bolt for the license plate and a few screws for where it wraps around the inner wheel wells. It does not come with double sided tape so that will have to be added but not a big deal to me.

There was 1 small gouge in the front about 1/2 inch long but easily fixed before paint.

I can not speak for the fitment to the car just yet because my car is under a cover in my driveway with 6 inches of snow on it right now but as far as fist impressions and over all quality i am completely satisfied.

This bumper should is very good for the price and its defiantly not going to get that sag that occurs with poly kits.

Don't suppose you will be removing the license plate bracket on your?
