BRZ tS and STI parts List

[Clutch Dog]

Well Gent's the wing came in. I would be honored if i could see some BRZ TS mounting photos close ups or tech documentations if you have it

Gotta work on deleting the current wing off my trunk and then cutting out some under paneling to mount in some solid mounts

Here are your photos for the tS wing mounting

Wow so it doesn't look like they added any bracing for it just attached it to the skin of the trunk and using the tabs to the inner skin..

also thank you for posting, this helps alot alot. now i just need some measurements and i guess a hole saw to fit the main holes.

2017 + the trunk is not the exactly same from 2015, I don’t know when but they did reinforce the mounting point and have strong weld around the trunk & B pillar. I just don’t remember when they made the change.

Id be interested to hear about what you do to the existing holes from the stock spoiler. There are holes right? I remember seeing the bolts underneath.

be welding them up and getting the trunk painted with a 2018 BRZ bumper i got from the scrappers.
its impossible to find a good k1z wingless trunk for less than the cost of welding shut and repaint.

Well gents. I have welded up my FRS trunk holes, and we measured out and trued the tS wing to the trunk, i think we are within an 1/8th off what the factory drilled out, the guy I was working with (aka: 5523 Motorsports) is real anal about straight and true, he wants me to come back to fab up some bracing and get ready for semi final install ( i have to paint said trunk later) of the wing thank you all for the help and support.

Hate to double post ya'll but I got the wing mounted. with no template.

First..
We welded up the holes in the trunk


Cut out small steel panels and molded them with a huge socket to fit the curvature. Low amperage and pulse rate. the skin of the trunk is easy to melt through



after they were drilled out we placed the wing on the trunk and took alot of measurements..

Alot
we trued it up to the corners of the trunk and rechecked them vs raw left to right measurements. and then cross measured the holes.

Late night so no one measured the actual distanced for mounting holes and of course no one has a template for this so we just eyeballed the exact front to rear measurement.




That took the better part of the evening. so I had to tape them up and wait for another free period

While I was home I painted the bare metal parts. I love me some self etching primer, and then follow on top with 2 step primer sealer. it dries so fast. it doesnt look bad from a distance but the trunk needs sculpting. this car is more for use than looks anyways. I might ducktail it later. who knows



Not the first time I took a rattle can to OE paint.... sadly wont be the last.


The third and final trick to this was the underpaneling braces. that attaches the wing from the skin to the inner skeleton, which is the bracing for the wing. not super Race-car, but its what subaru deemed good enough and the TCR cars run this set up per rules.


A 1 and 1/8th hole saw centered around the wing holes did the dirty. slow and methodical though this is thin steel so it just cuts like butter with a good hole saw



Then putting the tabs in place and drilling more holes ( this was a rather holy experience)




Final assembly and one last check for body straightness. leads to this!




Back Half looks like a BRZ Ts ( anyone got brembos to sell me?)


how She sits today



the final thing I need is

iF you look towards the left there is a rubber trunk stopper on the skin, i have the hole for it but no part number, yet

Almost done gents. Hope this helps with the next kid who stupidly spends alot of money for no reason
