It doesn't make sense when I can just get a brand new painted bumper down the road for less money than a clear bra!

This picture, posted by Crawford Performance. They pulled apart a low mile FRS to find oil on the pistons. The car was still N/A as far as I know, but it had apparently been run very hard, but it was still enough to warrant the small cost of a Moroso AOS.

I would have purchased either one, but the Berk delete (group buy link) was $100 less shipped than what Mach V guestimated for their price.
Thanks for those links! I drive my BRZ hard, so I might look into that as well. I'll see what my shop recommends once I start actually modding my BRZ.

I'll be paying $755 for clear bra on the front bumper, hood, fenders, A pillars, side mirrors and a few inches above the windshield. Alaska is BRUTAL once they lay the gravel down and Spring rolls around. Our painting and such isn't cheap either, so for me Clear Bra actually is worth it for the price and for what they're covering.

$299 isn't bad. I think that's about the price of Nameless Performance muffler-delete exhaust for my 2011 WRX sedan. I would ship it to Seattle through my company to keep it cheap.

I'm still waiting for those direct shots of the tail lights, straight back, maybe down low. Otherwise loving the pics! Car is always so clean! I really wish I didn't live in Alaska. Hopefully it won't be forever before I move.

The STI Gurney Flap took a couple weeks to get here from Japan, and the install instructions were in Japanese, but after test fitting it and checking here on the forums I realized it's pretty easy to install. I did drill the required holes after mounting it with the included 3M adhesive tape to put in the included pins as reinforcements. I'm happy with the overall fit and finish of it as well, and I really like the way the OEM spoiler looks with it now. Subtle aggression.

Nice! Do you have any pics of the Gurney Flap from different angles? At first, I absolutely hated the Limited Spoiler because I always felt something was missing. The Gurney Flap definitely completes the look of the spoiler!

Ugh! I HAVE to see the gurney flap from the rear, like a dead-on, standing shot. Same as the painted tails. If it looks legit enough I'm ordering it with the side markers and under panels.

I want these Fatlace tail lights that just debuted at SEMA!

EDIT: They look terrible in the daylight. Do not want.

You got a different angle? like in the rear?

EDIT: Nevermind

Nicely done, when you get a chance can you snap a picture of the rear from a little greater distance away? I just want to see what the taillights look like a little further away (thinking of doing the same). Thanks!
