ok, this is an honest question, can someone photoshop the factory rims to be all gun metal and/or all flat black?

Thanks

Strip the paint from the hood and let it rust to make your car a "rat rod". :P

fitment will be similar to the BRZ STI concept:

And yes, those are STI 4-pot calipers at the front, joining 2-pot items at the rear. This looks like the same braking set up as used on the Impreza WRX STI so you can expect this car, which weighs a good 200 kg less, to have serious stopping capabilities! As you probably noticed this BRZ STI sits much lower than stock, thanks to the STI-tuned Bilstein dampers.

go figure...

and there goes that GORGEOUS FRONT SPLITTER....wow how I'd love to have that on my BRZ.
