Thanks for the info! I was playing around with those "indents/nipples" and they did move a little. I just didn't want to remove paint that didn't need to be removed.

I don't have mine installed yet, but it could be a potential fix for some rattle noises on the USDM FRS/BRZ like in the link below.

Got to test this out this past weekend. I measured 76dBa with my $50 meter before the panels, and 74dBa after installing the panels. This meter is supposedly accurate to +/- 1dBa, but keep mind that for any difference below 4dBa, one cannot audibly sense a difference. With that in mind, the difference measured ia completely negligible. YMMV.

Can't comment on mileage or speed(?), as I wasn't paying much attention before and after. If anything, like gmhooker said this is more of an accessory.

the only verifiable measurement we can make is that the spoiler + the underbody panel will net 0.27cd according to subaru/toyota. what does 0.27cd mean in the real world? i don't know.

I installed mine last night. Fit and finish is what you expect from OEM. I followed what zkubidu said on page 3 and everything went well. 2 important tools you need would be a plastic panel remover tool and somewhat flat jackstands. If you look in my picture below the blue autozone jackstands worked but the harbor freight jackstands didn't because they would get in the way of the panels.

I took this pic to show the difference between having the panels and stock.

Yep these need to be removed just like zkubidu said. There is a plug and foam under them and they are very hard to take out. Total of 8 of these. It took me 15 minutes to remove 1 with a screwdriver. I went out and bought a panel remover tool and it made it much easier.

Jeez, these things got pricey in a short amount of time. I wonder if they seriously mis-quoted the shipping prices earlier on.

Anyone that gets a set, before you destroy the packaging each part comes in can you PM the ACTUAL part numbers? The stuff japan parts has posted just references the microfiche numbers, useless without the actual Subaru computer.

I will paypal anyone who can do that $10 immediately. I am working on getting these cheaper but we need the numbers.
