How adjustable is the wing?

This just became the poor man's Cayman GT4.

DSOmegaX = I have BRZ Limited. Does this BRZ Spoiler will fit even I don't remove my OEM Spoiler? I don't know how to patch those 9 holes in the trunk if I remove the OEM Spoiler.

So I got a question on the STI rear axles. How would that affect the reliability of the CV joints? Would the stiffer axles improve CV joint reliability or hamper it? I have STI damper kit which is only 15mm lower than stock.

Red stripes, black parts beside where the fog lights go (appears the TS doesn't come with fog lights this time), and black fender garnish. The rest of the parts are already available.

You can put the wing on it with the spoiler still installed. They do not interfere with another.

So the one part on my possession but haven't put on is the trunk lip spoiler from the 2015 tS. The reason I wanted to add it is I don't quite like the tapered look of the wingless trunk so I wanted to add a bit of an aggressive look via a lip. Of course I went STi, but I like it cause it's a subtle lip and is the same satin black as the rest of the lip kit for the car. What do you guys think? Do it?

It was awesome to see your car in person @DSOmegaX and talk to you too!

I think that lip spoiler might be interesting to go along with it. Has anyone else taken photos of that combo?

I've contemplated this myself. If you did it it would look like the STI performance concept BRZ. Not a bad look

That's actually what is asking me justify the look. Also the trd 14r60 has both its trunk lip spoiler and gt wing

There has to be a little bit of an aerodynamic advantage too... I've seen on aero models how a small lip changes the slip stream on the rear. Other mod I've contemplated is changing the side mirrors to GT style carbon fiber to match the wing. And possibly adding vents to the hood. If you're going GT might as well go all the way?

Any plans for forced induction btw? Edelbrock is making it mighty hard to stay na these days

I wouldn't do it. The carbon wing is just perfect.

Unfortunately the thing comes with a threaded bolt (just 1) and I don't have the necessary tools to cut it off so I can't even properly test fit it to see how everything looks together.
