Finally got the Stance SC5 wheels but the back tires scrape a bit when I go through bumps or rough road surfaces.

They don’t allow for any cooling of the caliper, add weight, and considering there is a version of the 2027 BRZ that comes with big brakes, this is poser status for sure.

Yup, they are the MGP caliper covers. You guys can bash all you want. I'm keeping them on.

His car is a 2013, he just has the 2017 bumper and “interesting” mods. I personally would get red calipers just because I don’t want to sit there and paint, but this guys look pretty strange in neon yellow. And I don’t think they affect anything unless you’re some hard core racer. For daily driving to the store they’ll be fine.

It would be like picking up a girl with D's and when you get her naked she has A's and a bunch of toilet paper stuffed in her bra. Not that there is anything wrong with some nice A's it is just false advertising!

Guy wants multi-tone highlights and to look racecar, because racecar .

Some guys value pure aesthetic over function (or lack completely thereof).

As long as it looks good to them. Problem is idk if it'll look good to anybody else.

Me personally?

That vinyl overlay, did you buy the exact dimensions to make it look that good or did you cut it?

Where did you get it?
