Placed an order for Wasp Composites 3" Race Splitter for my brz.
THIS GON BE GOOD!!! :P

Talked with Bryan over the phone and texts for a few questions I had about the splitter.

I do not always pay for things (parts in this case), but when I do, I only pay for high-quality stuff that I can trust, and that way I hope good businesses sustain their role in providing auto community with high-quality stuff.

I am not sure when I will be putting my front splitter on my car as we are still in the winter here at East Coast and may see much more snow than what we have seen so far (we barely had any snow so far this year).

But once weather gets a bit warmer and snow stops, I'll be putting together list of parts I have now.

Will post more pics when I receive the splitter.

Good stuff man. Like I mentioned in my original post, Bryan's communication and customer service were excellent during my purchase experience and it seems like you are receiving the same excellent level of customer service from them.

Their product quality is what initially drew me into them and with you being an advocate of high quality as well, I'm sure you'll be very satisfied with your decision.

I know what that's like to have to wait for the snow to end since I used to live in Chicago but I (and I'm sure many others) can't wait to see how your BRZ Wasp Composites 3" Front Race Splitter turns out! Keep us posted!

Hahah yeah. By no means I'm rich to afford all the car parts I wish I had, but when I buy something I do not simply buy anything cheapest available in the market. I always try to shoot for something that's proven to be excellent (tend to end up with a product that many people buy over and over) and something that's unique... and still high quality.

I can't wait to put on the Wasp Front splitter in the spring!

@fx35s If only we could have an unlimited supply of cash to buy all the car parts we wanted at any point in time! Lol. Wasp's products are definitely unique, high quality, and proven to be excellent. I've found that their customer base is also very loyal so they tend to stick with Wasp and buy their products over and over. Glad to hear you made a purchase and it looks like your friend did too!

Nice! Did you guys order the 3" street version or the 3" race version that's chassis-mounted?

I think this thread should be in the chassis forum because this looks more function than fashion.

Great questions @Captain Snooze. Also, thanks for the feedback! The support bracket (number 2 in your picture) was actually later omitted since it was unnecessary. There are 2 support rods in front, 2 support rods on the sides, and 2 bolts in the back (mounted behind the radiator). The support rods are also adjustable. As you can see on my FR-S (3rd picture below), the front 2 support rods (mine were custom-painted red to match the red trim on my front splitter) were mounted at a certain angle to compliment the design of the front bumper.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

p.s. - I would move this thread to the Chassis forum but it looks like most aero (functional and non-functional) is categorized under this Cosmetic Modification (Interior/Exterior/Lighting).

@kosoku send me a PM with your e-mail and I can send you my contact info. I can provide you with more info. as the website hasn't been updated yet with FR-S/BRZ products.
