I work at a Scion dealership. Let me tell u, ITS ALL FOR SHOW! If u got it, it wouldnt be a daily driver for sure!!!

IMO it's just for show and for running deep dish/really wide wheels.

If you've got the means and the $$ to custom one, wind tunnel test it, etc. than by all means go for it but remember depending on the material you're using it can just add on additional weight which might make your point of making the car go faster moot, especially on a lightly modded street car.

Also hand laid fiberglass/smc/carbon will weight much more than one produced from a vacuum formed mold...

Pretty sure Robert, aka staycrushing, runs his a daily driver and i have yet to hear a single problem from him about his RB FRS

I'm curious, why wouldn't you consider it to be a daily driver? Yes, many shops or even private owners use them as promotional pieces but I've seen crazy owners that run equally crazy car setups on the road daily.

Simply, if the work done to it is performed like crap, it WILL be crap. Done correctly, the body work doesn't pose a direct daily driver threat if you change your driving habits a little. Same goes for properly sized and offsetted wheels and suspension.

From my experience with the rocket bunny, my front lip was creating a lot of df and actually separated from the bumper, pulled the bolts through the bumper holes. Luckily, not all the way, and was fixable.

What does working at a Scion dealership have to do with owning a Rocket Bunny equipped FRS and driving it daily? You just blew my mind right there.

I drive my car daily as well, like Robert, with about 10k on the cluster. Not once have I had problems driving my car. Also I have driven my car to Vegas (twice), San Francisco, and various 2/3 hour drives here and there and still no problems.

...then again 'its all for show' and i don't work at a Scion dealership

Yea I agreed, the only thing I know thats pretty functional on the most of the kits available is front lip and rear diffuser. The added lip just make your car look much lower, and I think that definitely prevent a lot of air molecules bumping under your car while driving.
Anyone know if the lip would fit BRZ? I was told it needs to be custom fixed. But in terms of what? cutting?

Yes you're going to have to cut on the sides, nonetheless looks super awesome on a brz.

Just noticed how old this thread is but man the comments on this thread are hilarious!

Howardwei · 03-31-2014, 10:42 PM

Do you know where exactly on the side? The outer most edge of the lip itself under the bumper?
