It is the beat-sonic shark fin antenna, good eye.

This is the BRZ specific one as well. The color is not an exact match of SWP, but honestly its RIDICULOUSLY hard to tell the difference. It just has a little bit more sparkle in it, but the match is extremely close. I'll try to snap one when i'm walking out of work if I remember.

sounds good! Yeah, its so hard finding a USMD BRZ compatible shark fin antenna. I was a tad worried about color match but people say the same as you about not being able to tell.

Yeah if you like how mine looks after seeing the pic, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I think they might offer it now in SWP IIRC. If not, its so close, you don't even have to worry.

@Khazzy - Here is a pic I took, hopefully this is what you were looking for.



In the meantime, another two shots of the lip. Help me decide people, should it stay or go? I don't know why I am having such a hard time with this.. lol

Keep it. I love the black accent. You should incorporate the black into other parts like the spoiler. Helps tie in the black mouthguard/grille cover and rear bumper.

Heres a pic of forum member ShoGun's ride:

^ Thanks! I can't do that though because I have the TRD spoiler lol. If I keep it I plan on carrying the theme down the side skirts and to the rear bumper. I already have other pieces picked out if I do keep it, but i'm still on the fence honestly.

I say pass on the front lip. I'm sure you'll loose a lot if you sell but it doesn't do it for me. I'm into subtle and classy modifications, ones that compliment the styling of the BRZ. Your low stance already screams "look at me!" especially when you get some wheels. You don't want to add things that take away from that effect. The lip looks out of place since it juts out and is so large, especially since the BRZ bumper is at a right angle to the ground. Something like the chargespeed or even a little smaller works best on the BRZ. The FRS is a different story since it's bumper is curvy and slopes out. The FRS bumper actually needs a lip help give it presence. One of the reasons why I got the BRZ. Your front lip should be like your spoiler, subtle with just enough flair to compliment the already awesome shape of the car.

Just my opinion, but you asked for it

Thanks man...See its so hard to decide because I like it and don't. I have people like you all for it, and then below all against it...i'm confusing myself

My brother text me earlier and said my wheels arrived at my house today...wasn't expecting that. I'm counting down the minutes till work is over so I can get home and unbox them..I will post pictures up later!!

No I appreciate it man. What you just said is why i'm having a hard time with keeping it or not. Literally you took my thoughts right out of my mind haha. Well put.

The problem is I don't like the smaller lips like the chargespeed, because I don't like things that aren't paint matched, and IMHO would look kind of weak painted..so I have to see.

I was thinking about getting the STi front lip/sides, but I keep changing my mind so much I don't know what i'm going to do lol
