I ordered the front lip yesterday, will be getting the side skirts soon. Would you be getting the rear spat to complete the it?

Good choice, the Bayson R is a little more subtle (which is why I ordered it). I personally don't like the rear spats. They look a little odd to me, sort of out of place.

I might go with the MV Designs Rear Carbon Bumper piece:


I love the look but I'm hearing $600 for it, so if it was under $230 or so I'd pick it up.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful car! Looking forward to seeing the wheels installed with tires.

Thanks guys, I'm waiting to receive my set of Eibach R2 coilovers. I plan to throw those on first and then order some rubber and mount the wheels.

I'm going with the Direzza 2s (235/255)

Thanks for sharing! I'm sitting here, watching the blizzard blow outside, dreaming of picking up my black BRZ later this week (damned snow!). Your pics are helping my fantasies...

Well, I get my Wilwood Brake Kit in tomorrow and will be having it installed up at Pure Automotive on Thursday. This will be my first install I haven't done myself but I don't think I'll have the time and be able to find a buddy to help me bleed the brakes before I head to Florida for some vacay. I'm still waiting on my Eibach R2 coilovers and have the ESM 004 wheels sitting in my garage. So hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks this car will be transformed!

I decided to give it a quick wash and well I had to snap some pics:

Man I love black cars but I really hate taking care of them. Every single one of my cars has been black since I first started driving at 16. I'm 28 now and I don't have time to wash it every week, so I went with white this time... These pics are making me regret it just a bit.

I hear you man, I'm in the same boat. Most of my cars have been black and I rarely have time to wash it. I just knew this car would look incredible in black so I went for it. Otherwise, I'm a fan of silver, so easy to keep clean/maintain the clean. Black is a pain in the rear...but when its clean, it looks amazing! I don't regret it but it's like having a dog or child. You love them but it's going to involve some care/time.

Added on some Wilwood brakes:

I recently installed my Eibach R2s and ESM wheels. I am detailing the car next week and will have a bunch of photos but here is my progress this far:

OEM Wheel vs my new rears:

That front lip looks sick! Extends the bumper of the brz just enough to give it an aggressive look. It's a Bayson R cs-style lip right? What does "cs" stand for anyway... I could never figure that out, haha

Also, rims look great. what would you say to a gun metal gray color for them? or maybe black chrome?

Yeah it's the Brayson R lip

I looked at some gunmetal and hyper-black wheels, I think they'd look great but I just really like the classic BBS LM look. They look better in the evening as they aren't as bright.
