I think they would have to make them bigger to be functional. Something that small is not a source of enough volume of air I think.

Thats something we feel that people do not want to do! But it is on our list absolutly. Kinda simple part, just needs users that are not afraid to cut the corners
Maybe, not sure of the mounting options. Something like on the old vw rabbits, or like you see on Starlets, celicas, and old Minis. I don't know, maybe it wouldn't look as good as I see it in my head, anyone want to PhotoShop it for me?

Something like these...

Not sure about functional part, cuz I haven't seen it in person or show any proof graph... but I would expect it is functional for how expensive it is.

The problem u are facing with over fenders is that u always need to either do xtreme fender roll/pull or cut! otherwise the function of overfenders are useless.

TRD makes mildly functional parts at best. They tend to go more for the OEM performance rather that live up to their real name, Toyota Racing Development. Their intakes are expensive, and barely show any power. Their supercharger for the tC was not that powerful. Their axle back and cat-backs barely made any power. They just looked good most of the time, if so. I love Toyota and Scion, I just don't like their weak attempt. What happen to the days were modifications made to their Formula Atlantic engine modifications trickle down to OEM and aftermarket parts? or any modifications made while racing? Waaa waaaaa. Oh well. I didn't want to sound like a hater or a troll, but they just infuriate me. I apologize. I just love Toyotas too much.

Some new renders coming up! Testing a even more agressive approach on the rear wing.

FYI the TRD I'm talking bout is TRD JP, not TRD USA

Anyways, on-topic. I'll wait patiently for that new rendering!

APR Performance: Only available in Carbon Fiber. I asked, not sure about a BRZ option. I would like to see a cheaper alternative also.

Can't wait to see it. I hope you don't change it to much though. I think it's damn near perfect, maybe just a taller upturn on the top rear. Edit: Which is what you said lol
