I scrape the crap out of everything now since I put a front lip on now that the car is 0.5 inch lower. Especially playing pokemon go where all the pokemon are conveniently located in areas surrounding by speed bumps.

The bottom of mine looks like it has been dragged across a few miles of very course sand paper. Can't see it unless I lay down in front of the car though. If anybody is laying in front of may car then scrapes on my bumper are going to be the least of my worries anyway.

I scraped my front bumper the day I got the car pulling out of the dealership lot (which was raised pretty high from the road). I thought that I could have made it without going sideways since the stock height looked pretty high... and I was wrong. now, I have no paint on the bottom of my bumper at all. it's all black lol. doesn't really matter though since no one is going to get on their knees to look under your bumper unless they're trying to do something shady.

I can confirm it's carbon faux, not piano black.

Hmm that Spanish guy in Florida has Piano Black.... Remember guys the one with the video we didn't understand what he was saying but he showed around his car.

Do you have any popular package on yours?

Ah ok your car is A Canadian Market.... Well still I guess I'll have to wait to see a USA one to be sure. The video of the Spanish guy with the White BRZ he's from Florida I believe so that's a US car. I'm highly suspicious of it now, since the one I was in the yellow one had faux carbon. Guess I'll wait. Thanks for your info!
