I'm actually interested in the lip skirt... Appears to be cut to size stick on. Time to look for some flexible black bathroom tub surround. LOL

Thanks your car looks expensive now
and yeah amazing photography skill.. if that was a start, then you should keep doing it. Dem you have a bright future ahead u :P
Ummmm.... I don't think I ever answered this. For some reason I don't get all the notifications. My bad! And thank you! Still improving my photography one day at a time. Still debating switching up cameras.

I have the PU Bayson R and I can tell you that it can take a BEATING! I did crack the front lip finally after pretty much driving the car into an elevated portion of the road from a driveway, but just bumping it into a curb while parking doesn't hurt it too much. It's got extra bolts on it, though.

The 3M tape liner for the side skirts sucks. For the price, though, it's okay to work around it.

I've left it gloss black for now while I'm still in Alaska. I might have it painted after I move. Alaska is just rough on cars in general, especially since they lay down gravel for the winter and not salt. For how often I wash my car, I think I'd rather deal with road salt, but I think a lot of people would disagree. Gravel sucks because it gets kicked up from about November through May.

Hope this helps:

There are two screws you need to, uh, screw on behind each arrow. There are conveniently placed holes for these to go into behind this part of the grill. You will need to remove both layers of the underpanel to be able to screw them on. I have small hands and could not get it on through the grill, I had to remove it after trying for a long time. Make sure you note what you take off to remove the panels, I had one screw left over I couldn't find a place for

I also recommend using double sided tape along the edges of the back plate that touch the grill, as it can still wobble around with both screws on.

Once your backing plate is secure, you can snap the badge right on, there are tabs on either side. It's not hard to remove (I removed it at this weekends autocross... because of reasons).

Sorry for the potato quality photo.

Got the STI Pink Brake Pads with ATE Tye 200 DOT 4 Brake Fluid installed yesterday. The brake pads would make a noise only when the brakes are applied extremely lightly without letting go of the brake pedal in traffic (i.e. very early in the brake pedal stroke), otherwise they are pretty dead silent. The brake response seems way more than enough for spirited street driving.

WRX Sti parts, probably not fit without adapters. Why not just get aftermarket bbk, or ts brakes?

Yeah you're asking if 2015 STI parts fit on the BRZ. We know that 2008-2014 STI Brembos will, but I don't think anyone's done anything with the 2015 STI parts yet. You can be the guinea pig.

2015 brakes are the same as 08-14. What that means is that the calipers are usable as long as you swap the bleeders for the front calipers. The rotors are not compatible as they are 5x114.3. You can find aftermarket rotors cross drilled for both bolt patterns

If you just look at the pictures, you'll see that they are dual-drilled for DBA 4000/5000:
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/2014...ce-Brake-Rotor

Looks like the STI brake hoses are back (unless I missed that they have been back).
https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/45774
$185 for the full set.

Looks like rubber instead of the original stainless steel. Falls in line with both STi and trd recalling both their ss lines for the car
