There is a structural crash bar behind it. Not something you want to remove on a street car as you remove a lot of your accident protection. However on a race car like that pictured above it's just extra weight.

I'm soon installing a Full Blown turbo kit and radiator/oil cooler, so the front end needs to come off.

While it's off, I will be cutting the black mouthpiece portion off completely and making my own wire-mesh grill.

I'll also be replacing the metal crash bar with this part which I'll also paint black.

this looks dumb IMO. And the mustache/mouthpiece thing is stupid...

Some people are just too obssesed with and over-analyzing the car's front end.

I like it/don't mind the brz's front end at all. Although I think I would like the look of no bumper and just a grill better.


The Fr-s front end...i just dont like it much. However, I think the 10 series as a whole looks pretty neat.
