Installed STI style front lip and side skirts. Also, removed the Subaru and BRZ badge.

Love the new look with the wheels and tires. Just love it.

The car just hooks and shoots now.

Installed front lip today as well. You can tell it was warm outside, mods. are flying like crazy!! Mine also came from SpeedFactory101. The ends near the front tires required some engineering to increase strength in the mounting. the small white-ish scuffs and micro-scratches on the end are no big deal and I will probably paint it at some time in the future. Used 3M double faced tape between the lip and the bumper cover.

For those of you planning on doing the same thing, here's a small tip (lesson learned on my part) do not cover the screw holes in the lip with the double-sided tape as when you drive the screws through it, it will grab the screw and spin it into a small lump, keeping the lip from fitting as flush as it can to the bumper cover. Hit it with some Adams VRT when finished and it looks pretty good.

There was no screw hole here so I added one to hold the end tight to the bumper cover.

The ends were the only place where I had 'fitment' issues as you can see by the nylon spacers.

Loving all these front lip installs. I'm getting mine installed Wednesday along with side skirts and rear spats. I'd rather support local business and have my buddies install my entire lip kit instead of me taking my precious time to fumble with it. They're experienced and will drill the necessary extra holes. Also they need to look under the car anyways to gauge a project I have for them.

Dry fit of replica oem diffuser, it will stay attached until I get some WRB rattle cans to surround the black part of the rear fender. I also need to acquire some alternative fasteners to complete the install.

Installed the grimspeed plate relo.

Between the Magnaflo cat back I installed Sunday and this thing I'm basically back to neutral for my cop magnet status. 😁

Not good. Came out of Best Buy and a group of teenager were standing around the back of my car. At first I though theft, vandilism or one of them hit it. Turns out they were just admiring it. Chatted and then they left. As I was walking around to the other side I noticed my decklid was dented amd the paint cracked all the way across the center mount. Some how it was pressed in with enough force onto my spoiler bending the metal inward on the trunk lid amd splitting the paint.

Could easily identiy the group as the Probe they left in was an autozone one-of-a-kind-custom. We also happened to be directly infront of a camera. BB would not let me look at the camera without a police report however the manager told me it seemed as if they were leaning on the back of the car. So I called the cops whom told me there was basicly nothing they could do since the group had already left. They didn't seem interested in looking at the camera or even taking a statement.

The damage is fixable but, the time it will take me to remove the spoiler and repaint everything means a downtime of around 4 days, and cost of paint/materials. Having done it the first time I expect somewhere around $350 if I fix it myself. Having sealed everything with 3m applique moulding tape and torqued it with nuts/bolts I expect this to be a nightmare...
