The actual STI lip is NOT a trivial install. 16 extra holes to drill, and considering 14 of them are 9.5 or 10mm, it requires a lot of drilling.

But, that bast*** is definitely ON THERE. Not going ANYWHERE.



Oh yeah,

And I installed my STI lip today....

I thought about it but I feel like it's so hard to match the color and feel of the wheel. I thought it would look to cheap. Plus with the BRZ, I have a bunch of that silver trim (more with my new STI shift knob).

I have a ton of pics and info on this page of my build thread:

I'm sure JNA Performance is probably wondering why there's an influx of BRZ lip orders in the last 24 hours! haha.

I emailed them to see if there's any plans to make side skirts. Will keep everyone posted with their response as soon as I receive one.

I'm debating whether to just order now and wait for a sideskirt, and if not, pick up the hptmotor sideskirts. Is the current "discounted" price typical for JNA?

Keep me updated on the sideskirts!

They seem to do the sales regularly. When I was in the market to buy a lip for my STi, it was $199, I believe. I waited a while and they had it on sale for $99 and I picked it up.

That JNA front lip looks really good.

I'm just scared that I may scrape and break that shit in couple days as I occasionally scrape the bottom of the front bumper in my stock BRZ. lol

at $99, might as well scrape that instead of your bumper... They do look great.
