You could also do it yourself if you're feeling ambitious and have a DA polisher and some 1500-3000 grit sandpaper.

Thanks for the input. I have a detailer scheduled to do my car in a couple weeks, so i'll ask if he can do this. I'll definitely watch closely and learn the technique because I'm sure this isn't the last of these hell chips.

I've dabbled with different options including Dr. Colorchip, but I was most happy with this + factory touch up:

There are tutorials for removing the bumper and opening up the headlights. I had a buddy help me because he's removed the bumper and opened the headlights a few times.


For paint I just used Valspar for black and Rust-o-leum for the yellow.

Not even a month.... I know the paint sucks, but these are substantial. Can't recall any rocks hitting that hard. Maybe the power wash ripped some contaminants off? Discovered after washing car. Haven't heard good things about Subaru touch-up paint and not sold on Dr. ColorChip. Sigh. What to do what to do...

Subaru touch up is good IMO. If you don't do the proper job, of course you'll see a blob.. and it looks slightly darker raised up.

If you sand it flush with the paint and buff after, it looks good.

What's up Guys.......Just messing around, but now have the emblem on the front lip left hand side. Looks pretty sharp.
These are not the Factory BRZ Letters, I bought these cheap just to see if they will look good anywhere on the car........ my Buddy at Subaru is going to get me a few pair. Let me know what you think.

I'm jealous of the roomy parking spaces you have.

Installed my Gruppe-S OP and UEL headers with a new OFT stage 2 tune. Sounds amazing with my Tomei type 80. I think I will need to invest in a high flow cat/resonated front pipe from JDL.
