Had some free time today to install the TRD Canards, Rally Armor mud flaps, and BRZ Limited fog housings aka my new brake cooling ducts.

I used some dive mesh to make a filter for the ducts and duct tape ironically worked best to keep it in place! More details coming soon. They will be functional and have the shortest route possible to the rotors!


















Still do to:

Remove splitter and bumper completely to install revised headlight brackets, Quik-latches and finally delete my washer fluid tank.

Are these mudflaps aero friendly?

Probably adds a negligible amount of drag. I'm not sure I'll leave the rear flaps on. I may just trim them down to a smaller size for aesthetics.

Thanks! They don't bother me at all with the right offset

I'm curious how you've been fairing with parking now that you have the rear diffuser installed.

No issues parking anywhere. The diffuser never scrapes anything at my ride height.

Hard to judge but I'm not lowered and I know if I reverse into a spot, I BARELY clear a parking stop (bump... w/e it's called). I figured with the Rear diffuser, it'd be much worse.

Yeah mine would hit one if I backed into it, but the car is short enough that it's not necessary to do that to get the whole car into a parking spot.

You should consider installing a backup camera if you can't back into a spot without relying on the curb/bump to stop your car.

Ahh good to know. I may consider getting a Back up camera for safe measure when I get that diffuser.

love this build - now for the most important performance oriented question - what color JDL UEL did you get? It looks like the chrome version? If so - did you consider going black? lol

Mines uncoated but I regret not getting black ceramic coating for aesthetic reasons. I'll do it eventually, but I haven't had any issues with it uncoated.
