DIY - Cheap eBay Series Blue Replica lip, side skirts, and rear apron install - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I put together a video installing the front lip, side skirt, and rear apron replica of the BRZ series blue. This was super easy to install, and all together it cost me $270 (excluding additional fasteners and double sided tape)

Here's the video:

I also bought these fasteners from Home Depot to help secure the front lip. I didn't want to rely completely on the self tapping screws:

I used 1/4-20 hex head bolts and some washers with those expansion nuts.

Let me know what you think!

Were those fasteners for the lip used where it is attached to the fender liner area? I had issues with my stock push clip ones, so I need to buy replacements.

No, I just used the self tapping ones for the fender liner. There are two holes there and I just used one. If it ever falls out in the future, I'll move to a larger fastener/expansion nut

Can you post links to the parts you got? I am looking to do the same thing, the BaysonR websites sell those pieces individually and it's almost $500. $140 for the aprons, no thank you!

The prices must fluctuate because I bought the rear aprons for $43 at the time (April 2018). Supply must be low. I see on eBay that it’s over four digits for the Apron!!! Not gonna bother linking that!
