That looks absolutely sweet!! Great job!


It looks like the BRZ has a much softer "runout" of the lines that run from the roof all the way down the hood to the emblem. Has anyone seen a similar job on the FRS? I'd love to do this but I can't picture a good way to terminate those distinct lines.

The body lines on the FRS bumper are a little more difficult your best bet would be to just fill the holes and repaint everything. Heres a picture I found on Google to give you an example.

I did some researches in the past few months, and I found two cars that someone did good badge shaving jobs on them.

The yellow one was built by 326power in Japan.
