Always wonder why i never seen any modded BRZ from Japan.

To install the kit, you just drill and screw into the body panels? I always like wide body, but not a fan of bolted fender look.
Good Luck on the Build, hoping it turns out great

You have to have balls of steel to cut up a new car like that Can't wait to see it completed though.

VesperLynn · 03-15-2013, 10:49 PM

I can't wait to see when it's all cleared and put back on. What do you guys think about how I had them paint the hood? (The trunk is painted identical to how the forgestar car is done.

Thats a real slick touch on the hood. It's going to look so good when it's glossed out. I've got a GBS BRZ coming in June with my name on it so its fun to see what a normal guy like me can do. You're making all the GBS owners proud!

Love the hood, i like ig alot when people aint a CF hood but leave out just a small spot somewhere to let you know that its carbon fiber

VesperLynn · 03-16-2013, 01:22 AM

I was originally going to leave it unpainted but I thought it would look more factory to paint it. I also think the vs style seibon hood looks the most appropriate for this car.

djdnz · 03-16-2013, 09:00 AM

Looking good, been following this post closely because I'm interested to see how it looks on the BRZ front in the end. I really like what you did with the paint on the hood!

VesperLynn · 03-16-2013, 09:19 PM

Well, I keep seeing FR-S's on the road as well as BRZs and it makes me sad not being able to drive mine. Plus the fact that I actually need it back very very soon. My 06 STI decided to blow its third gear so I'm without a vehicle for a few days while its fixed unless the dealer can give me a loaner.

Can't wait to see my BRZ all done and prettied up though. It's going to be amazing. Also hoping the forgestar wheels come in, or the eibach spacers I bought show up on Wednesday. That way I can remount the Rotas to the car without it looking funny with the increased fender gap. Once I get it back, I also have some goodies to put on like my BC racing coilovers and smaller things like my radiator cap and Perrin hoses.
