Options for replacing the Limited's spoiler - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Flow · 12-01-2012, 12:49 AM

So, I am not a fan of the Limited's spoiler, to put it lightly, and I really want to replace it with a lip spoiler. As far as I can figure it, my options are:

1. Find someone to trade trunks with.
2. Use a spoiler that covers the holes. CARSMO & TRD so far...
3. Buy a new trunk. I've seen CF options @ $560 & $740 (Seibon's). Dealership quoted me $469.95 for OEM Trunk, Unpainted, Not Including Installation. Also, there's the Seibon trunk with a lip spoiler built in, @$800.
4. Have the holes filled and painted... has anyone done this? I've seen it mentioned a couple of times as an option, but I'm not sure if peeps are speaking theoretically, or is someone has actually done this. If so, what did it cost/how did it turn out?
5. Have I missed any other options?

I'd like to hear what choices you all made and how it worked out. Thks.

TRD wing requires removing the Subaru and BRZ badges, the CARSMO does not. Also the TRD wing will require drilling two more holes, the CARSMO does not.

CARSMO will fit

It doesnt require you to drill holes, you could but you dont need to. The holes that came on the limit wing is enough to hold the wing. Most frs guys are using it without any holes drilled, only with double sided tape

So, I updated the original post w/ CARSMO & TRD.

Are these the only spoilers that anyone is using to cover the holes?

That's great news. I was always under the impression that the TRD spoiler didn't cover the Limited spoiler holes. Time to look for a TRD spoiler!

Sorry to bring this back to life but I want to be certain that the TRD lip spoiler actually uses the holes drilled from the stock BRZ Limited spoiler.

A few of you have said that it covers the holes, and that drilling is not needed. However, I do want to bolt it down, but I really don't want to drill MORE holes on top of the 2 on each side that are already there.

WillBRZ · 01-06-2013, 07:17 PM

^+1 do we need to drill more holes?

Surok · 01-06-2013, 07:28 PM

+4 i want to know too.. so i can order the trd spoiler and then go to the BRZ limited wing if i hate the trd.

Admiral Ballsy · 01-06-2013, 07:43 PM

I'm 99% that the TRD covers the unused stock holes, but requires new holes of its own.

And some folks, reluctant to drill them, are using tape instead.
