I'm worried about the durability of the tape over time. I live in California and garage my car though, so it's not like it will be seeing extreme weather.

I wonder if anyone else has an issue with it rubbing like yours?

No rubbing at all for mine. I was lazy and had the dealer fit at a service.

We have a hole in the ozone layer above us so the sun, even though not as hot as in California, is very strong from a UV point of view and no issues with it and have had it installed for approx 16 months.

I'm definitely gonna reinstall it again, but using the spacers. I guess what I did wrong was stick it to close to the trunk.

Anyway, for anyone purchasing this...don't eyeball it like I did or you'll have problems down the road.

I installed this part but it started rubbing on the trunk after a couple months so I took it off. It didn't rub at all when I first installed it and made sure it was centered.

Maybe it's because I didn't use any of the black spacers it comes with.
It even came with primer and rubbing alcohol...no idea what those were for.
How you took it off?
I did not perfect centralized at beginning.
However, I am worry that I will deform the plastic, if I put too much force
to take it out.
Thanks.

I found it for $150. Not too bad considering how much horsepower it adds.

I was also confused on how to install mine. I was in a hurry so I just slapped it on without the spacers. It does rattle a little, but since my exhaust is pretty loud, it doesn't bother me :)

Yours definitely looks too close to the trunk. Over time, it will droop down and start hitting the trunk when you open it from my experience.

And the sticky sided tape was easy to just rip off when I uninstalled mine, especially at the edges.

I've been wanting to get this, I just wish they made a generic one that was half the cost.

For peeps that have this part, does the TRD logo look like it could be removed?

Damn, I thought this piece was CF for that cost... looks like it's not? :|

I think you should just throw it away. If you want, I'll take it to the trash for you. :D

Until then, I'll be waiting for a knock off. My BRZ can live w/o the TRD branding.

Here is mine. I let the dealer to install it since it's sort of OEM.

I'm glad it's glossy black. I've never been a fan of big pieces of carbon fiber unless it's a roof/trunk/hood.

I usually park in our area which are surrounded by trees. Without the cover, leaves and other crap get into the sides of the trunk area. Since I put it on, my inner trunk area never gets dirty. Yes I would buy it again.
At first I was all like "I want it even if useless" then read further and "Bingo, I can justify it to the wife"
Now the quest to find one in Canada that does not require a second mortgage on the house.
