You can install them without the STI gearbox bushings but why do it twice when you can do it once. Order the gearbox bushings!

Man I can never get those STI side vents cuz I have Dark Grey Metallic. I'll just end up with a Premium Sports Package looking car at best.

Yes as said, but you can install Cusco (coming from USA) bushes too with this hardware, thus (this) is the same. The stock bushes are softer than STI ones and is preferably don't force them. The big solving issue is to install the harder bushes not these nuts and bolts.

Hey krayzie, donŽt be sad about your Grey BRZ

You can order the Side Fender Vents ( i would go with the white ones )

and can Repaint them !

i think it is possible cause inside the Vents you can unscrew

the Silver STI parts from the Fenders and then ......

they are ready for Grey-Painting !!!

STi side fender vents can be painted after removing "STI arrow" from proper body.

try to ask again about my Wheels : i have the 18 inch STi wheels , you know they have Size: 18 x 7.5J, +48mm My Questions is ( if other guys here have the wheels it would help) What can i do to make the +48Žer Offset looking better So, what dimensions of spacers can i use that it looks pefect ? /i do not want to stay outside the body with my wheels but i want them to line up precisely with the body So, i have just orderd 15mm Spacers for the Rear Wheels. And 10mm Spacers for the Front ! Was that a good choice ? What do you think ? Tomorrow they will be installed...

With 7.5J +48 you'll need at least 15mm front and 20-25mm rear spacers to archive perfect 'flushness'.

i just have tried a 20mm Spacer for one REAR Wheel for a Test.

Its a little bit too much

cause my michelin 225/40 R18 Pilot Super Sport
comes small out of the BRZ-Body

I want it as clean as possible without any little issue.

So tomorrow i take :
15mm Spacers for Wheels Rear ( 30mm REAR Axle extent )
and 10 mm Spacers for Wheels Front ( 20mm FRONT Axle extent )

Yea you got the nice Michelin tires they are a bit wider than the stock Primacy even at the same size.

My stock size Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires also have a slightly wider footprint (had them on stock rims for a bit). Remember your STI rims are also slightly wider than stock as well.

By the way you might want to consult some experts such as @CSG Mike on the effects on handling (understeer/oversteer) by having a wider rear track on your car.
