I love those wheels, but they're pricey for cast wheels (which I believe they are).

I like the wheels too, but the stock ones look good enough to me.

As far as the exhaust? Meh. I'm in on the group buy for the Accelerated Performance cat-back. $1000 or so, 3 hp increase, a few pounds lighter than stock, and it sounds fantastic.

How do you add videos? I can't for the life of me figure it out.

I think they are using spun-cast technology similar to RPF1s...but yes, 3k is steep.

Love that battery tie down. Reduces battery flex

You can't say for sure that the BRZ version won't also cover the rocker panels til we've seen the final official product. I looked under the rocker panels and could not find ANY existing holes to mount side "under" skirts. I've never seen an OEM design side skirts that require drilling into the rockers (the most rust-prone area). TRD skirts surprisingly don't require drilling. I'm praying for STI to come up with a similarly clever design. Perhaps their latest BRZ STI Concept never had side skirts because the design constraints are so challenging that they couldn't decide on anything solid.

The Prova skirts do require drilling into sheet metal and I have a strong suspicion the Chargespeed Bottom Line side skirts are the same.

outch indeed thats allmost the down payment for the whole car

DjDATZ · 07-25-2012, 04:24 PM

I was expecting the exhaust to be a lot more throaty. Meh, pass.

thermobox · 07-26-2012, 12:48 PM

Ok, now can I say it?

It is only a couple inches greater than the current add-ons available for the JDM Impreza, WRX and STi Line-Ups.

Ah, it comes up over the rocker panels like I hoped. See, those Impreza-based cars probably have existing holes under their rocker panels allowing their respective "under" spoilers to mount from underneath without drilling and be thinner. The BRZ rockers don't have holes. This skirt has to come up along the sides for adhesion. That was my point. Holes drilled in rocker = rust and now I'm more confident this won't be the case.

I totally wanted to when I wrote that post >< but wasn't sure if stating my source would get you in trouble with PROVA dude...

Ichi is the man though. He's got the insider hookups and posts cool info on his blog!
