I prefer the black inset blunt nose on the BRZ over the longer shark nose on the 86. It's ccol that there are options for folks that don't, though.

Gloss black looks good though.
Wow... maybe im in the minority... but I think that looks awesome! Maybe if there was more angles (like the ft86 concepts) wish the car came stock like that >__<

I thought about painting my SWP BRZ mustache white. But i feel like it looks terrible. Think it draws more attention to it...

Seems like a lot of work for minimal results.

My 2013 is in need of a full repaint and I really like the look of the smooth, painted mustache on page 1. So I’m curious about the rear since my whole car needs to go under the knife anyway.

Has anyone seen pics of what that looks like?
