Why? This has nothing to do with my Side markers

Side markers are known to pop because of tires rubbing against them during hard cornering. Are you saying they're falling off without tires ever rubbing against them?

You could see if your local Subaru dealer has paint pens and fill it in that way. I always keep one handy...

Yes, clip "A" fell off running OEM wheels. The tire is not rubbing against them or the splash guard. After removing the Helix V2 side markers I noticed the slots do not bite onto the "A" clips as good as the OEM amber markers.
The "A" clip should've been permanently attached to the side marker from factory to prevent it from coming loose. I will be adding some Quick Steel or J.B. weld on the next set of clips I get so they can stay in place permanently.
This is by far the most annoying little thing about this car.
Toyota and Subaru should've eliminated the side markers from the edge of the bumper or just relocate them.

@Chikna, I have some paint chipping like that. Like DaBooBoo21 said, buying a paint pen that comes mixed with clear coat will cover a lot of the paint chips. I have one and it works great.

Depends the color: if is a basic color: black, red will be ok, but our "halo" color is not easy because the "pearl" look. I have a paint pen from dealer and it's ok, but no the greatest, instead on my wife's RAV red the red paint pen works great.

Installed the BRZ tS (aftermarket) pinstripes. Really like the look and is way cheaper than the OEMs.

Also finished the basic door plastic cover mod. Small detail but looks great IMO.

Got the from AliExpress. $0.81 / 12 pieces

Shipping free.

Check for:

Jameo Auto Car-Styling Car Door Lock Screw Protector Cover Sticker for Subaru XV Forester Outback Legacy Impreza XV BRZ Tribeca.

I just ordered 2 packs (24) for replacement and also used 4 for my rear license plate. They are just strong 3M attached covers. But the plastic looks clean.

Hope it helps.

Finally after 6 years of owning this car I decided to get the rumble. OFT is on it's way as well. I can't wait to put this Tomei UEL on.

You're definitely going to enjoy it!

Received some new parts in.

Going to have to get some wrap or something. All I can think of when I see TRD is TURD! Can not have that on my BRZ!
