subscribed. Was just talking to my friend yesterday about what the RB kit would look like on a BR-Z. I kind of want the subaru front bumper for my FR-S, so I hope this looks good!

Trimmed out the lip. Did the right side near perfect, messed up the left though. Going to fill it and sand it down.

Also realize that it doesn't look too good at the moment because its only being held up by oil jugs. Lol

Just....no. This is a silly question. It weighs more. A few pounds more. Probably less than the total added weight that will be added in go fast and cosmetic bits ( suspension alignment parts and wider rims and rubber. . Etc)

It weighs X (factory's number, available everywhere if you try) + Y (mmm let's say 25 lbs in extra plastic) = BRZRB weight before extra stuff S. so total weight = X+Y+S

Lol what ? Weight is a silly question ? What's so silly about it ? It's good to know what the weight of the car will be, before and after ! That means he will need to make up that much more power to get back to where he was.

Well I just got the Perrin tune which added about 11 HP across the board. Getting a catless front pipe at the end of the week.

Cool thing about the Perrin tune is all the cool features like Launch control, Auto blip down shift, and Flat foot shifting.

An all season tire for your fronts? what will you use in the back?
