Check the picture in this FR-S and there is one with a front lip and side skirt

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9691

Somewhat similar, but give you an idea.

BTW, how does this drive? or does it use the air suspension to move up and drive?

Looking at the body lines, I think that's the Adobe body kit.

Definitely chopped. The front bumper is stock, looks like they just pulled the side skirts out and made it look low. I'll pimp slap the first person to slam a BRZ like this!

I like it but it's a little bit overdone imo.

I don't know what to attribute to wanting something like that. Bad genetics or bad upbringing?

Taking a perfectly good car and rendering it unusable seems... Well, to each their own.


I'm a relatively logical person and my reasons for this not appealing to me are:

1: Less safe. I have to share the road with these people! The tires are mounted on improper sized wheels rendering them less safe. The tires make much less contact with the road, decreasing handling, braking and wet weather traction. Risk of accident is much higher.
2: The suspension is essentially broken and cannot function as it was designed. The geometry is altered far too extensively and reduces the quality and capabilities of the ride.
3: Increased wear and increased failure rates of axles, joints, bearing etc.
4: Non-functional as a daily driver. Essentially can't visit any apts or shopping centers with speed bumps. Also increases the risk of damage from road debris as the car cannot clear items.
5: Modifications fall outside of legal parameters of most states and attracts unnecessary attention of the police leading to unnecessary expenditures in fines/legal costs.
6: Uncomfortable, the ride is uncomfortable.

This is a bit too cray cray for me and I, personally wouldn't air bag a BRZ/FR-S.

However, I've got to admit, seeing it dumped and cambered like looks pretty sick!
