It would look even better without the factory "Dumbo" side mirrors; I've got an eventual fix for that though:



Just about the same width as the factory mirrors but a little over half the height and with convex mirrors. Just need to make the mounting plates for them and want to do JPM Coachworks door pads at the same time since the door card will need to come out - want to only do that ONCE!
I did something similar to your idea. Hope this helps you out.

Enlighten the rest of us in this thread once you figure out why Bayson doesn't show the back of their "indistinguishable" shit part on their website.


It's unfortunate that the cheap knockoff crowd always jumps into threads discussing real parts.

Oh look, another condescending real parts owner, what a total surprise that is. As long as the buyer of the knock-off part isn't claiming its real, no harm, no foul.

Has anyone put those TRD fins on their WRB BRZ? I'll have my car in the paint shop soon and I have been on and off about those things.

With Bayson R I have their side skirts and and rear diffuser and the firmament is pretty damn spot on, so knock off yes, but I don't go around pointing out its the OEM diffiser or the HT Auto side skirts. As long as someone doesn't go around saying it's the original or real part then I don't see the problem.
