Spoiler / wickerbill
Well, I believe I've come to the point in my tracking adventure that I am researching aero: adding a splitter and spoiler (not a wing) and maybe rear diffuser.
Looking for others'experiences, recommendations, warnings, etc. Planning on making the splitter. Looking for a spoiler just large enough to be able to add an adjustable strip to it's rear surface. MY14 BRZ Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk |

Thanks. The first looks too narrow. What's the second one? I like the last two. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk |

Verus was nice enough to do some virtual air flow testing on it: https://www.verus-engineering.com/bl...ap-analysis-31 I’m iffy on it because it may produce a ton of drag at high speed, which our little engines don’t like. But real world application can always differ. |

Not the Perrin unit, it mounts on the OE spoiler. I will remove my OE spoiler. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk |

I can't find the second one (no name or logo) as Perrin. Would it mount directly on the back of the trunk lid? Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk |
The Perrin unit that mounts on the OE spoiler is listed as DISCONTINUED on 86speed website.

You can also try your hand in making your own, similar to this: https://www.good-win-racing.com/imag...85/61-2833.jpg |

I think I'll look for a low profile unit to mount on the lid that will allow me to add a strip to it's back Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk |

Why are you so against adding a rear wing element?
Spoilers like the 949Racing car result in a high drag effect as a results of a massive wake zone immediately behind the element itself. My Versus front splitter + UCW Rear Wing at 6* AOA resulted in 2 mph less VMax at Mid-Ohio (122 vs 120 mph) into China Beach and still was ~1.5 seconds faster on the same tire same conditions. |
You just made me realize that an adjustable rear wing could be moved to a lower drag config for the drive home because mpg because I'm driving this car Monday morning too...

Those type of spoilers do great at low speed (think all Street Prepared style classes). Anything above 60+ you're going to see a massive negative impact |
