Thanks tranzformer. Specifically, Post #15 in that thread is where I mentioned my findings.

I also thought it was two pieces also...but I didn't look that close, it just felt like a different material, a much softer plastic then the rest of the bumper.

Why don't we just look into the parts catalog. There is a member (not sure who) that was posting part schematics, I'm sure if it is two pieces it will be shown on these schematics.

But yes, let's get a parts diagram to end this! Even if it is one piece, I guarantee, there'll be options for aftermarket carbon fiber and color matched overlays to go over it. If you just don't like it being there..go buy a dremel and lay off the caffeine..lol

That's entirely possible. Cars that have been pilot run through the production line sometimes get repainted due to paint defects. I've seen this firsthand. It's possible that red BRZ on display was an example of that. Members on here have also seen other BRZs with orange peel that would normally fail QA inspection production standards.

I think it looks acceptable though, it's a good license plate mounting spot. |

For what it's worth my, '06sti, and '11 WRX Both have had a "Masked" section of the bumper that clearly are one mold with the Rest of the bumper. I've had the bumper off of BOTH my subaru's multiple times, and i made a point of checking the inside of the bumper when they were off to look for that.
I'm gonna lean toward it Being ONE piece...my old doubts stem from the fact that the "black" section is so large on the brz
