I dig the idea of aesthetic balance as there will be black plastic in the rear with the bumper/underskirt so I am considering with adding that front under spoiler. Just my quick thought; To each their own!

If u colour match the front lip, youll need side and rear extensions to keep a visual balance. Keeping it black is a nice compliment to all the other black accents too.

Tru. Tru.

This will definitely be one of the first mods I do, after tint and exhaust tips. Hopefully there will be some more options by then with more reasonable pricing. Would definitely be in for a group buy on a justifiably priced front lip.

Get the fake lip people so I can be the only one with real v-limited lip.
You think that costs a lot, check out some Mugen parts

Well I noticed last night Japanparts added the STI lip and wheels to their lineup. I'm going to order the lip next week hopefully so it will be here in time for my BRZ next month.

$505 plus shipping

BUT I WANT IT SO BAD!

I just e-mailed JapanParts asking how much those wheels weigh. Unless someone posted already and I missed it... If I'm gonna spend $500+/wheel, I wanna make sure they're gonna be lighter than stock by a decent margin. And since they're cast and not forged... I'm a little skeptical.

Yeah I just check how much shipping would be to CA for the wheels and it was about $490 or something. So close to $2500 for a set of wheels might be hard to justify to the old lady. I might just pick up a set of 04 STI BBS wheels and call it good. Can score those for around $1000 with tires, and they're forged.

Just checked shipping for me and the total comes out to $748.55..High price to be a baller i guess lol, for sure you'd be one of the very very few to have it on your BRZ.



I bug the parts department all the time if they know if\when they're going to get an updated accessory catalog in to show all the BRZ parts we can get here in the states. My guess is they won't sell them here just yet. They don't sell the 04-05 STI V-Limited lips here in the states, only for the 06-07. Once we get a STI BRZ they will sell it for sure, but till then who knows

I think I'm going to wait until SPT offers the lip as a factory part. At least I'd save on shipping!

Exactly my misgivings on the wheels. Cast, not forged; expensive; unknown weight. I think I'll sell my 04 STI BBS sets and buy 18*8 Enkei Raijin.

At least test fit them on the BRZ before selling! I'm gonna borrow my friends' 04 BBS's for an auto-x event, assuming they fit properly.
