Thank you @DSOmegaX for the link to the legit-sized badge! I put the large one on the bottom spoiler.

Can't do a picture right now, but there is a picture on the japanparts.com site, which is where they came from.

Just got mine and it arrived folded up in an envelope. After hitting it with a blow dryer and letting it sit for about an hour, it looks like it's back to the normal shape. I realize that it's just urethane or something along those lines, but I figured they might have spent some time properly packaging it after I paid over $100 for a piece of garden trim with a decal.

Does anyone know of some installation instructions online?

I was surprised when mine came wrapped up as well, but honestly I just unfolded it and started laying it on the wing. As you're laying it, you have some room for readjusting before it gets REALLY stuck, so just take your time and try to place as close to the back edge of the spoiler as possible. I laid mine out, then would lift some spots and lay it down again. Took just a few minutes. Of course, this wasn't during the winter, but it was cool outside since it had been raining and I waited for a non-rainy day to apply mine.

Anyone know where I can order a new sticker cause I messed mine up during install :(

I bought mine from ebay. It's a little larger than the sticker that comes witht he gurney flap but still looks great :thumbsup:

Are there any US-made alternatives yet? DO WANT but spending $100 for a strip of rubber is hard to stomach.

Is there a non STI ver? @.@ want it for my scion haha I do have the spoiler tho!

As long as you don't put the "STI" sticker on it, it won't say "STI". I challenge you to find a small "TRD" badge or sticker to put on it. That would be kinda cool.

I kinda want a cheaper replica or something it seems all the money is because of the STI badge D:!

It's honestly just a rubber flap. You could make your own if you REALLY wanted to do so.

Gota spend a day at Home Depot or something n c if they have similar one... I haven't seen one on the streets yet or else I'd have a better idea how it's like

I was just thinking that you might not have access to see one... Yes, it's a simple piece, but after all the time you'll spend finding, molding, cutting and adhering, you'll wish you had just spent the $100 to have it one-and-done. Time is precious: Bought, Not Wasted. haha

alright you convinced me now the trd badge i've found a couple do you know the size of that Sti badge? Or the height of the part? :)

Do you think this would fit? haha

Yes, that is HUGE. I got this STI emblem.

Which is 30mm x 7mm. I don't know how small the STI sticker is that comes with the flap, but I think you should get the flap first, THEN worry about the TRD badge.

This is about the smallest I'm finding.

WHOPS! :lol: LOL thanks alot man! Im going to place my order now along with the gurney flap.. So japan parts is the way to go?
:thanks:

Yup, pretty much the lowest prices with the most reasonable shipping. I've seen other vendors on FT86Club maybe shave a couple bucks off their prices for group buys, but otherwise JapanParts is just nicer to work with and ships quickly as well.

Sweet! now all thats left is to wait for a nice day to fix my keyed scratch >: /sigh

mine

Here's a shot of mine. Sorry for the weird angle. I find it really finishes the spoiler off nicely

Has anyone had any issues with the Gurney Flap in respects to rain? It doesn't rain a ton here in Fort Worth, but the concerns I have are the effects of rain on the adhesive properties of the tape. I have installed mine with the tape only for now, and am debating doing the drilling if rain does affect the tape enough.

Alaska sees a lot of rain late in the summer. Mine got weathered with rain, freezing ice and sudden warmth and is still on strong. No need to drill.

Also I often drive speeds of 80+ mph and have never concerned myself with wanting to screw it down.

People attach shark fins with just tape all the time and those hold fine... I wouldn't think this would be any different.

Did your gurney flaps come pre drilled with holes on the ends? How did you guys cover it up?

They have holes and it comes with two plugs. If you chop the bottom bit of the plug off, they will go in the hole without drilling your spoiler

Alright! thanks alot!!

Just got mine from Japanparts, but it did not come with the two screws or the sti badge... Only came with the flap itself. Anyone else have this problem?

Mine came the same. No screws, and no badge. I thought maybe I had ripped open the package with too much excitement, and lost the screws and badge. But I guess not = /. Didn't care much for the badge, but I would have liked the 2 screws to cover up the holes.

I would return it if it were me. With the badge and mounting hardware , its an overpriced piece of garden trim. Without that stuff, it's just garden trim.

Mine also showed up this way. I'm going to contact the japanparts.com support person that contacted me about the front lip backorder.

Actually...I have to take back my last post. I was careful when I opened the package, but sure enough, I just found the clips and sticker on my floor! HUZZAH!

I got a WRB and heavily debating if I should get this along with the JDM tips I'm going to order... I'd save shipping cost this way right?

And I know this piece isn't exactly cheap, but doesn't it look and feel cheap? Wouldn't other people just think it's a piece of rubber? (which it is.)

For me this was a must have. I HATED the OEM spoiler the way it sat with the "horns" or high points at the ends. It made the spoiler "complete" for me.

I am constantly and consistently getting compliments on it. Yes, it's expensive for a piece of rubber but I think it's totally worth it and would recommend to anyone with the spoiler be it any of the 86 variants.

It's a piece of rubber, i don't think anyone would describe a piece of rubber as expensive or high quality so in that sense yeah it feels cheap to touch. Looks wise it's fine, you can't tell until you're up close that it's rubber and it sits very flush if you install it accurately. I'm happy with mine, ties the shape of the spoiler together well. It gives it a bit more of a flat look to the rear of the car, whereas the standard spoiler breaks up the lines a bit too much with the wing tip bits.

Pic of mine on a silver 86 for reference, excuse the bad phone quality.

^ hmmm... it actually looks nicer without the STi sticker.

Even though it makes more sense for me to put it on since I got the same marking on the front lip and side skirts, I'll probably leave it off from the gurney flap once I get it.

At least it makes the spoiler a bit different from ever other BRZ out there... Kinda expensive, but meh.

Here's my flap!
