WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[SirBrass]

I installed this:


And this:


Yesterday, along with changing my transmission oil to Motul Gear 300.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

So far, its been perfect. The top end isn't as aggressive as I would like it to be, but from 3k to 4k it is perfect. The only complaint I have is the top end. Just cruising around it isn't too loud. Keep in mind I got the 5 inch mufflers as well.

My WRB has been better than average. Of course I get chips here and there, but nothing like on my last black car. Just within the last few weeks I got a bunch of new chips that I plan to repair. I'm just thankful I don't see the thousands of speckles.


I have 12k miles and my front end looks great IMO, I'll take a close-up pic of you want

I have never owned a car that has took a beating like this before. Never. This is since January. This is just three sections of the car. I have more on the hood and other places.

Dayum @BadMoon your bumper got raped by the winter, that sucks. Mine is not so bad off, even with the small rocks and salt being thrown at it over the winter (and still today with these crap roads here).

I was looking at the 5" mufflers as well. Hmmmmm. Wish I could hear this thing in person. I think the 4" mufflers would be way too loud for me though so I'll probably stick with the 5".

Thanks for the input!

Well the good news is it's not as bad as it looks. I went out and hit the entire bumper with scratch x. It cleaned it up a lot. I was going to dr color chip tonight. However I'm going to wait and check it out under the sun. The bad news is I have a about 15 decent chips to deal with. I would say that's pretty normal after the winter we had. Not the 50 or 60 it looked like.

I was going to get 4 originally! But 5 ended up being perfect. If you plan on doing headers, I definitely recommend 5.

+ STi knock-off EBAY spoiler/lip. Urethane.
$110. Be sure to get the URETHANE one. It'll take a lot more abuse than fiberglass or "carbon fiber"

Plan about a 3 hour install job if you take your time. You'll need about 10 (#8 24x1") bolts for the main mounting points and another 4 (#8 24x1.5") for the corners and 10 fender washers. ALSO, you'll need some sort of 1/2" shim for the 4 corners. The original STi spoiler uses a box-like shape in the construction of the corners, the knock-offs aren't formed with this shape, so there's a 1/2" gap between the body and mounting point.

But once on, you see the fit and finish is pretty darn close too the STi unit for an easy $300-$400 less.

Oh and caveat - the shine is from Meguair's trim detailer. It's for rubber and plastic and makes blacks REALLY pop nicely.

This is the main reason I got a clear bra from the get go. Full hood, full bumper, mirrors, and 1/2 fender. It is well worth the cash with how low swooping this hood is.

Same here. Stone chips like that would drive me crazy.
