The pink stripe and the chrome stripe have completely different dimensions though, but yes a workaround that some of us have done is get the chrome stripe and paint it in STi pink

There's a link to where you can buy toward the end of my build thread plus a step by step. My suggestion is get a proper paint match and not use the Grimm speed cherry red tho. Still working on this and planning to redo. Let me know if you have questions!

OK, can anyone tell me, are the BRZ tS calipers the same units as the ones on the US Performance Pack? I'm trying to figure out if the 17x7.5 STI wheels will clear the calipers on my car.

Why for a silly badge that isn't even correct to your car? Was it worth it?

His car didn't start out as a tS, but it's practically there at this point. The badge just helps ties all the performance parts together.

Yes same the JDM STI site already mentions this now the 17"x7.5J is required to clear.

As Krayzie mentions, yes the calipers themselves are the same size, but do keep in mind that functionally they are slightly different due to piston size. Theres a long discussion on this in the brake/suspension thread, but yes, 17" STi wheels will clear.

Interesting never knew that. If I would take a guess the STI ones have slightly larger pistons (I mean the MSRP is ridiculously high)?

Probably the same model of caliper, it's probably just more expensive because it says STI on them.
