It's a 2013. I was holding out hoping Canada would get GBS for 2014, but with my plate renewal coming up I felt it was time to make my mind up.

wasn't expecting to buy one today, but hey if it's there it's there.

...first order of business is that makeshift front grill, haha. I'll post pictures soon.

Have you come across any body kits that have even come close to resembling the BRZ STI Concept's? Honestly I'm looking through the body kits thread and surprised that no one's attempted a replica yet.

Not that closely that I know of. The stock front and rear bumpers have to be replaced but I don't know any aftermarket ones that look like it. Then you'd need new fenders because that concept is a widebody. For the sides, TRD side skirts look pretty similar. Besides that, any lip kit will get you close enough (ChargeSpeed Bottom Line, APR, or Seibon lip kit if you want CF). Lately, I've been thinking of switching to TRD side skirts but that would ruin my all-STI theme.

No worries. I'll be picking up that tab here shortly.

I've seen some rear bumpers that look respectable with vents, but have dual exhaust outlets as opposed to quad tips. I haven't seen anything in that body kit thread that is close to the front bumper, really.

Maybe the Gialla front bumper:



and Daredevil 86:



or Leg Sport:



or Noblesse:



None compare to the original Concept:



Sorry for vomiting all this beauty all over your thread.

Subaru should release the front bumpers and rear bumpers of the STi Concept BRZ. They would make a killing off of those! I would buy them.

No. The real fight is for them to give us THIS:



But you're right. I would actually murder to have the entire Concept kit: trunk, taillights, rear and front bumper and all. That stance is to DIE for.

I would be content with bumpers. Tail lights are awesome but that requires a little more work to fit properly. I DID NOT SEE THOSE SIDE VENTS! Oh man!

If I were able to grow up just a little more I would appreciate that you have both TRD and STI logos on display.

Damn your car is in for a transformation. Your current wing is screwed on?
