It is too bad that the front lip does not fit on the FRS. Do the skirts?

FRS and BRZ are the same on the sides and rear, just the front bumper different therefore side skirts shall fit on both.

The Bayson R’s front lip might more close to Charge Speed on, so they called CS style.
http://www.chargespeedusa.com/#/item/charge_speed_2013-2015_subaru_br-z_bl_cf_front_lip/
STI have already released the GURNEY FLAP, SIDE UNDER SPOILER PAIR, STI: FRONT UNDER SPOILER
and SKIRT LIP (addition rubber to add on the front lip).
Potentially might also release the rear spat ( not sure which can fit with the OEM rear
diffuser accessory well without modification or not)
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15582.
However, the japanparts. com shows the price is exclude (tax and charges)
(Air to door for example)
http://www.japanparts.com/delivery.htm
I am not sure how much additional money need to pay than the price on the website.
Secondly, I do not have garage and BRZ is my first can. I do not have experience to installed theses body kits by myself. The install instruction is written in Japanese. The local body shop might cannot understand.
Could you take some pictures with different angle with your HT Auto rear spats?
Thanks a lot.

It would come down to price for me between the two if I didn't already have one

btw STi Front Lip is $460.39 Plus Shipping at japanparts.com

STi



HT AUTOS



Bayson R's

I can't say for sure, as long as the contour is the same I can't see why not. However the pre-drilled holes may not line up or be the same as the FR-S
But if they fit, worse case scenario would be to re-drill holes

Might be worth messaging them before committing

I agree that HT Auto have more aggressive front looking, but the problem comes from the conner.
http://subarukits.com/prod_desc_brzlip.html?sno=298
It looks like two layers hamburgers for me.
The STI one fold up in the corner, so it looks more like integrated together.
http://www.sti.jp/parts/catalogue/brz_zc6/ST96020AS000.html
The Bayson R is in between.
Side Skirts: I am not sure.
I prefer the step like more than the bottom line before.
Something like Toyota 86 OEM one.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14209
I prefer a little bit more aggressive, because have already spent the money.
The bottom line is too miner and looks not too much different with and without.
However, I am not sure now. Sometimes the bottom looks nice and clean, but the step like
one looks heavy which makes car like transformer.
Ex. http://www.c-west.co.jp/aero/brz/ss.asp
Rear Spat: I also not sure now, because there are not too many option for BRZ in PU or PP or ABS.
Especially, I have OEM rear diffuser there. I am not sure which one can with the OEM rear
diffuser accessory without modification.
HT Auto did provide the information and their can fit withOEM rear
diffuser.
http://subarukits.com/prod_desc_brzrearlip.html?sno=298
However, the spat is really very tiny. I am not sure that it will looks better
compared without.
How do you think?
Thanks.
I think it is a little too busy, too much where the 3 lines meet at the rear bottom: the point that spat meets the diffuser and happen to be the curve line come down from the top, the black part.

Somehow I have this fear these kids on the street will stand on that spat...

Yeah I also have the STi gurney flap, just need to install it and my HT Auto front lip. The rear spats are installed and I will snap a couple pics when I get time, unless someone else here has some pics on hand of them installed ?

Installation is very straight forward on rear spats and gurney flap as I would suspect the side skirts are also. The most entailed install would be with the front lip as you need to remove some undertrays and drill holes.
If you search the forums here, you'll find some detailed pics and install instructions done by others

One big reason to go for Sti for over $500 shipped is the little logo!

"STI"

Need to think.

Or you could just go buy an STi badge off ebay for $15 and call it day!

On a side note, the legit STi sticker that came with my gurney flap from japanparts.com is a joke in comparison to the one I bought off ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Impreza-STi-...7de136&vxp=mtr


Don't get me wrong, there are some things you just can't compare or replace with against some STi goodies. For example, I just ordered Colin smoked LED tail lights from japanparts that I could not find anywhere else. So I paid through the nose, including insane shipping charges to get what I wanted. But in the case of front lips, rear spats and side skirts, we have other options that are very comparable at a fraction of the cost

Unless of course japanparts is using a different variety of "High Quality Polyurethane" than what others are using ??

I also thought that rear diffuser, rear spat and rear bottom line should align well.
However, I saw the SEIBON’s result is totally not match what I thought.
Maybe I am a old style guy. ><

Are those HT Autos rear spats ? Mine don't stick out that far, I'm positive!

Looks like they are using a CF variant of some sort for rear spat as it's higher up and extends out further than HT Autos rear spat

Pretty sure I've seen oem diffuser and HT Autos rear spats together and it looked pretty good

No, this is SEIBON’s result.
I just try to response "86BRZ" that I also thought the rear spat, diffuser and the bottom
line of the car should align well. However, I saw SEIBON design, The bottom line of rear
spat is front than the diffuser.
The only other HT Auto rear spat picture which I fought in this forum might be this.
Thanks.

Perhaps STI will never come out some rear spat for the rear because they have diffuser already.(?) now the close up pics showing the corner roundness of the spat and the diffuser not really from the same style, but they point together, that's the part I am picky about.

Sorry guys...picky me.

I thought tht they will from two links as below

1.http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15582.

2. http://www.sti.jp/parts/catalogue/brz_zc6/index.html (The rear has

spats on it)

However, I do not know that can fit well with OEM diffuser well without

any modification or not. I never see any picture with OEM rear spats and

diffuser together.

Thanks.
