I hate the MY17 wing
 
I totalled my FRS in January and picked up a MY17 BRZ and I gotta say the wing is sooo nasty. Already looking for naked trunks on salvage websites.

I'm sure a lot of us will take it off your hands for you :D

Yeah, the wing is totally wimpy. but w/o the wing, you probably won't get the performance package?

When looking for salvage trunks or trunk swaps...

Be aware that the keyless entry cars have a different trunk wiring harness and a different lock cylinder than base cars. Fairly easy to swap out though.

I too am not a huge fan of the '17 wing.

The bare FRS trunk makes the car look like shit.

Rather have the BRZ wing over wingless any day.

Paging @Drambeenie He's working on a pretty awesome MY17 extension to the stock wing. He has a thread build as well.

Also, the MY17 trunks are different than the 13-16 trunks. Just keep that in mind.

I like the spoiler, but I think it's waaay to close to the trunk - So I'm building larger risers for the wing if you're interested in checking it out.

Here's the build thread and a couple pics from test fitment (it's still in prototyping phase) but will offer it for sale when finished. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...=118428&page=9

I like your bumper protector but it also makes me sad about what lengths we have to go to in order to avoid other people's mistakes.

You should see the front of my car...it's depressing :cry:

I don't care for the new wing either.

I agree, a sexy naked trunk just looks beautiful. Too often is it covered up by wings.
