Any chance that there are also rubber parts for the other STI side skirts and back sides? Seems like they provide one for the front lip, but how about the other parts?

Thanks, I should definitely get it cuz last time I jacked up my car the underside of my lip is pretty scraped already..

Yes, that's the part. Same part for the WRX lip which I had to cut shorter to fit on my BRZ lip. It might also be available stateside from WRX aftermarket parts retailers (think I came across one on NASIOC a few years ago).

The STI Japan site (http://sti.jp/parts/catalogue/brz_zc6/4.html) is where I get info for current parts and I don't see any. You could just buy a bunch of these rubber skirts and tack them all around. I don't think the rear needs it though because you'll probably scrape other lower hanging things (I'm guessing suspension or exhaust) before the rear skirts.

1st. I love those rims, I plan on running gold as my summer wheels once I save up.

2nd. How does the skirt attach?

Thanks!

The skirt comes with double sided tape already attached to it.

I've been wanting to make my car flush a little and have been contemplating some 20mm hub centric spacers (since i don't want to buy new wheels... the black ones are sexy :3)

But more importantly, if you have your car lowered with the lip/sideskirts please post some pictures and share if you scrape the lip a lot.
Tally has some bumpy roads and I've scraped the bottom of the lip plenty of times even in the stock height.

Was just thinking about posting this! Thanks.

btw, the oem lip is super strong....I hit a broken tire piece on the freeway and the impact was so strong that knock out the plastic pivot clip (now still missing one), the corner light also got pop out. however the lip still looks fine except having some dirt on it

I bumped a curb pretty hard parking ONCE and it felt like the car crumpled like a soda can but all was 100% fine.

All you need is too lower the series blue and it's looks complete. Can't wait to drop mines
