Dropped off my front bumper at a friends shop to have painted and picked it up today. Still need to order an emblem and something for the ducts. Overall pretty happy with the BRZ bumper.

Bought a random front lip from eBay temporarily, not sure if I want to get an APR lip.. scared I'd shatter it, although I do plan to get APR carbon brake ducts for the bumper soon. The emblem is also enroute.

Car didn't really change much to end the year except me shattering the front lip somehow..



But Eva did start the new year off pretty nicely with some new wheels. Traded the Weds to a local guy for some Regas and 5x114.3 goodies to fit them. Also picked up some PBM LCA's off of him too.

Man, your car looks fantastic! That bumper looks like an aftermarket one, but looks so great.. Any reason why you chose to put a brz bumper on instead of initially purchasing a brz from the get-go though?

I had originally really liked the FRS front end.. and they're lighter kind of.. and few other random reasons.. Then I found a BRZ front bumper for a really cheap price locally and picked it up. I ended up liking the bumper more than I expected, and had it painted and put it on.

Few more pictures from last weekend.

While I am not a huge fan of cars that are lowered so much, I still think your car looks nice and it will be interesting to see where you go with the bumper in terms of ducts/lights. Is this car going to be a track car or just a street / weekend warrior car? Either way it seems to be shaping up nicely, if you're still looking for more things to do to the car, UEL headers will give you a nice growl or EL will net you some serious hp gains.

My homie Sid Titus (@profitable) shot the whip this weekend. I'd say he killed it, pretty stoked on all the shots.

(Don't mind the single fog cover.. Subaru ordered me two driver-side ones....)

Thanks Slava!

Picked up some black Work RS lugnuts yesterday.. Not sure how I feel about them. Probably should've just got some Project Mu lug nuts...

Quick picture off my camera from last week. Planning on ordering some front lip and side skirts soon.. Also ordered a PBM fender roller so that I can roll my quarters and maybe lower it some more..
