Yes. +1
I was thinking solid body color panel like above would be it, but I'm with you, I really, really like the look of the car the way it stands now. Doesn't seem to have the same agressive quality, especially when you have seen it in person.

I actually dig the OEM set-up. Go figure.

Why in the hell didn't Subaru do this? Your chop looks INFINITELY better than the OEM fascia and I don't see how it (Wings') would have been difficult to manufacture. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other Subarus with a "mustache." I'm not being very eloquent, (I blame the beer,) but, Wings, your rendering is exactly how the BRZ should have been executed - it's perfect as an OEM piece.

Granted, it does look better in person, but I feel someone would have asked "why?" during the design phase.

I don't like the chop. I mean it's a really good effort, but the BRZ's front end is growing on me.

And on the white it doesn't look too bad. Plus a front plate is going to be covering most of it anyway.

Ths photoshops that cover the bumper piece make the front of the car look too generic for my taste. Whether you like the black front bumper or not it does add character to the car. It doesn't look bad body colored. Removing it completely could be disasterous in a front end collision.

It's just a piece of plastic with no structural value, the actual bumper beam is behind it.

This might be the first time I actually used my front license plate.

MAD for matching the color in the water reflection.

I thought of this looking at the chop & WingsOfWar Sig

I realize that. I was referring to the chop where the grill opening was completely open and the bumper appear to have been removed.

Yeah that's mine. The bumper defense beam can be behind the grill like on the FRS

Ah, I see what you are saying but on the FRS the top of the bumper cover covers half of it and then the bottom part is either visible of cover by a simulated grill opening which is actually solid. It appeared on the chop that the crash bumber was gone completely. It is a great look it just would not quite look that clean in reality with the bumper intact.
