I cannot read Japanese, but I put it on Google translator.
It looks like the OEM one is functional not only for the looking and also did the test.
I am not sure that is true or not and I also not sure others are also functional or just for look. Thanks.

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 ??

Even if they are functional, which STi stuff tends to be, 99% of us will never know. Either it is a small amount and/or we will basically never see those speeds unless at a track (is STi wing from WRX becomes functional at 117, but damn could you tell). Not sure if we could notice side skirts. So if you have a track car tour looking to spend a lot for function, but most of us just want and need the looks.

Yep that's them! I see the seller is out of japan. I saw this before I bought mine, but price including shipping was better from japanparts

Not too mention, those are specific to the FR-S
I ordered a set for BRZ

A closer look of the STI and SEIBON rear spats, both have the extra bumper overlap, make it a "L" shape, whereas the HT Auto only a flat piece. I think the extra "black" upper cover a few inches make it less "point together but. Or line up"?

I am not sure which style looks better, but there are also some not “L shape” rear spates in the market.

Just ordered those side skirts and the HT Auto's rear spats to finish up our BRZ. We have the HT Auto's lip on it already. Will be sure to post up pictures.

HT front, Bayson R side skirts, and the HT rear spats is one of the combo I am considering, please post details pics, interested to know how their black material match to each other and if their edge roundness match, etc.

Another set considering is STI front + ? Skirts + ? Rear

Why you are not considering
1. STI front + STI side + ? rear or
2. Bayson R front + Bayson R side + ? rear

I t might will less mismatch issue, if you all buy from same brand as much as possible.
Third possibility might push HT Auto to develop the side, Bayson R rear and STI rear. ><
Thanks.

Just an update for anyone looking at CS Side Skirts, the auction has ended due to availability. I messaged the seller and was told they are planning on restocking the skirts, but have no ETA for the time being

Does (STI or Bayson R or HTAuto front) + Stillen is another good option?
