Spoiler advice for 2017 86
 

How's it going?

I'm looking for a spoiler for my 86, preferably the trd one or at least that style. Has anyone any experience with the cheaper ones on eBay? http://m.ebay.com/itm/381814729102

Are they any good or should I just try and get a genuine trd one?

And is the trunk the same shape on the 86 as it is on the frs? And is the whiteout the same color white as the halo version?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new 86! I can help answer most of your questions, as I have a genuine TRD spoiler.

1) Review: I love the fit and finish of the genuine spoiler, it's great and comes with weather stripping to keep moisture from getting underneath. The lip look on the back perfectly compliments the lines in my opinion. I bought mine from japanparts.com

2) The 86/BRZ/FR-S trunk shape is identical, so spoilers are compatible across all 3.

3) Halo is NOT the same colour as whiteout, the hue of whiteout is more pearl, just FYI.

4) I can't speak for non-genuine TRD spoilers, but there are some members here who love them. @Mr.Impreza may be able to help with that and point you to a legit source to buy them.

@Rakshaa Thanks for the advice! With the trd spoiler from japanparts did you have to drill holes in your trunk or did you just use 3m tape?

No problem!

You can drill holes of you want (instructions recommend doing so) but mine is held with the 3M tape that it came with plus some urethane paste to hold it down. No issues in 3 years and 100k kms with it coming off :)

Pics from today, not great but you get the idea. If you want close ups or different angles let me know.

do you know where i can get the full spoiler? like the add-ons on the fender to complete it

check out the five axis spoiler its pretty nice as well

There is only one piece to it for the JDM TRD spoiler.

You might be referring to the RS 1.0 spoiler, but you can only order that from a dealer with an RS 1.0 VIN. That one is a different design and has parts on the side.

ahh i see.. i thought it was the same spoiler

I really like the 2017 BRZ spoiler. Not sure if it is in your price range.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I looked at that one alright, I prefer the trd one myself

I've been trying to figure out the name cause I love how it looks. I can get one pre-painted in firestorm red but my car is ablaze red...you think it'll be noticeable?

im not too sure on the reds but you can email them before you purchase them i think lol... i have the halo frs and i know the white out is not the same as the halo

So I ordered the spoiler from Japanparts, it just landed in LA so I should have it soon. Is there a specific urethane paste that is best or does it matter which one I use? Did you just put some along the edges or how did you do you?

Awesome, you're going to love it!

And yes, just some along the edges on the left and right side where most of the pressure is to stay on. The spoiler should come with 3M tape on it already so don't need to worry about the centre.

I don't think it matters what type to use, and I forget the exact kind I used. Sorry about that, but I can confirm I have had no issues of it falling off :)

No problem I'll look into a few of them!

Got the spoiler today and it looks great! How did you remove the bolts from the spoiler before you installed it?

And one more question for you, what are the black 3m stickers for? In the instructions it shows them going on the body under the spoiler.

Radical difference between the two colours. It would stand out like a beacon.

Sorry for the late reply bud - you've probably figured it all out by now, but there were a couple screws holding the bolts in, just take them out.

As for the black 3M squares, I'm guessing for the two ends as that is where the most pressure to come off will be. I honestly don't remember using those :p

Just remembered why I didn't use those - they are to cover your OEM spoiler drilled holes as the TRD one does not match up with those. If you do not have an OEM spoiler then you don't need those.

Got the spoiler fitted and it ooks great! I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

The bolts on the spoiler were encased in plastic and glued to the spoiler so I just cut them off and sanded down the edges. Applied some poly urethane to the spots were there was no double sided tape and it seems to be held firmly in place.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the finished result :)
