TRD spoiler frs
 

So I can't seem to find the trd rear spoiler (trunk) anywhere. who is a vendor that has it. I am very interested in purchasing one. For some reason i like this one better than the 5ad

You should check out the Stivo spoiler from Wheeldude its pretty much the same as the TRD one but a fraction of the price and no drilling required. I do definitely like it more than the 5AD one as well.

i second @Wes in that the Stivo spoiler is a good alternative to the TRD in terms of price and application. i put a deposit down on one a few weeks back. you can purchase it from @WheelDude.com here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29589.

if you would like to by the TRD though, you can get it from @nigel-jdmparts here: http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/japan-...-trunk-spoiler

Thanks for the link. I like the price point of the alternative, though I'm not completely sold on adhesive only mounted spoiler. Anyone have experience with them? I've seen a couple videos of adhesive spoilers flying off while driving (and yes, I've been known to make a +130mph jaunt every once in a while lol).

Haha if installed correctly you shouldn't have a problem

Heavy duty struts/dampners
 

Anyone know a source for HD trunk struts for FRS that will handle the extra weight of a wing or spoiler.

We have the TRD Style Trunk Spoiler in here

If applied properly, should be no problem. Clean the surface thoroughly and use 3M adhesive promoter. When you put it on, you can melt the 3M tape w/ a heat gun or hair dryer to have a even firmer hold when it cools and hardens.

Plenty of factory/OEM trunk lips are held only by tape from BMW, Acura/Honda, etc. I have the 5 Axis lip and it's been fine but only had it for a couple months so far.

does that spoiler comes in Firestorm color?

Ordered mine on Japanparts.com, unpainted, for cheaper than any vendor on here. Even with shipping.

how do you paint them when they arrive...use touch up paint?

My car is WRB; they don't offer a painted option. I opted to get it done by a body shop. Will post results next week.

There are more painted ones, but they are more expensive and Japanparts.com does NOT have the painted ones listed on their website. Like I said, I had to get unpainted anyway.

thanks for the info guys but well the wheel dude one is like 3 bills and i think trd goes for like 499 or something. does anyone have them for less than 499. i want authentic stuff. sounds terrible i know, but 399 vs 4 something is'nt far for the real deal.

Bought mine through upgarage, had my friend ship it out for me... $295 after shipping ;)

No TRD comes painted only in Whiteout, Raven or Unpainted.

No...you will have to get a body shop to paint it for you.

Did you mean as in other styles? Because from technocraft it only comes in white or black painted

Not everyone has friends in Japan. But if you let us use your friend I'm sure a lot of people would be happy around here.


Mine was 443.60 from Nigel. However, you have to account for the exchange rate which changes every week or so.

Here's what it looks like on my car:

I'm surprised no one mentioned Zeta's variant of this spoiler. It is $395 and is made in carbon fiber.

I am not affiliated...Zeta's picture.

i so would, BUT my car is whiteout haha. it'd look tacky. but thanks man! lookin good! guess nigel is my option

I'm willing to get some out through upgarage, I'll talk to my friends when I'm off work later today. Right now there's only a raven trd wing, few days ago there was a wrb, swp/wo, and firestorm.

Wait a second. The Zeta fits the trunk a little different than the TRD. The TRD will have to be painted. If the cf would look tacky, then just paint it. Choose which ever one you like more, then proceed with the painting.

Edit: I forgot the TRD comes in white.

looks great, but your sig needs some updating haha.

Thanks dude. Yeah havent gotten any good picks with my DSLR yet so ill wait til I do that to update my sig.

I bought a Zeta carbon fiber TRD style spoiler and it mounted on via 3M adhesive, I cleaned the area and used promoter but I had it on crooked and tried taking it off to remount, and I will tell you it is rock solid, I cut myself with floss because the adhesion was so tight. So I honestly don't think it is going anywhere, the spoiler didn't even budge after I tried wiggling after it was mounted :thumbsup:

if you can pull that off with whiteout let me know

Will do, I actually have a WO one at home that I may not end up using. But it'll be until mid summer before I decide.

well if you do change your mind let me know. interested.

Painted and installed.

Is it TRD or Five Axis?

TRD.

Looks great! I can't tell, but did you keep the rubber gasket on, or just remove it? That's the only thing preventing me from buying the TRD one right now. I don't like that you can see the black gasket so much on SWP.

It is using the black gasket. Not as noticeable from further away; definitely a "5 feet" type of thing.

Hey I'm just wondering what the options are for duck-bill type spoilers that fit into the factory trunk lid spoiler holes for the Limited BRZ?

As I hear the TRD spoiler does but it's hard to find (?), any others?

I have a feeling that you didn't even look at this thread?

Not one bit, I even gave where to order it and how much it cost!

It comes with another gasket for the whiteout. It's more of an eggshell color.

Good to know! That may have just made my choice easier.

Admittedly I didn't read through most of first page, kinda skimmed over it, and read most of the 2nd page.

I guess the info was on the 1st page? Haha.

I'm mainly asking (since it wasn't really mentioned here) if the TRD spoiler uses the factory holes that the BRZ Limited spoiler uses, like a direct OEM?

You can see some of them here:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...77&postcount=1

It's light grey...not really eggshell.

It does NOT use the holes left behind the OEM Limited/GT-86 spoiler. It DOES cover them and vinyl seals are provided for all the holes in the trunk. You have to drill TWO new through holes for the studs on the TRD wing which are secured with plastic nuts inside the trunk. The wing itself mounts with pre-applied adhesive tape.

That answers my question very well, many thanks. Do you know how much body work is necessary to get those two new holes in the lid? I don't want to have to spend a lot of money at a shop to get it installed.

Do you know of any aftermarket spoilers that use the OEM spoiler holes? So I basically just bolt on, no body work necessary.
