i like the gt86/brz wing.
 
i don't get why the brz got the gt86 wing. i know i could just order it from subaru, but it wouldn't "feel right" on my frs knowing it is not meant for it.

I love the view of it from the rear, however I don't like the side/oblique view of it (like from an angle).

I think the only one I like from ALL angles is the Five Axis one. Low profile but adds that extra little curve to the car.

Oh you mean the Grand Am spoiler?

^ that grand am spoiler is exactly why I hate the BRZ spoiler!!!

pr086 08-15-2012 12:52 AM

lol never saw it like that...

What is seen, cannot be unseen....

I didn't like it until I saw it in person. It looks way better than that GrandAm spoiler above on the car.

Heh. Pontiac Grand MA spoiler.

Honestly, I do like the OEM spoiler. I like the 5AD spoiler better, but the OEM one works too.

tnt 08-15-2012 01:04 AM

it's too angular looking .... 5 axis, trd, and carsmo are nice :D

yormaX 08-15-2012 01:04 AM

Because you can get one of these.

^ I hate that one too! Looks like it's trying way too hard.

Way over the top. (pun not intended)

tnt 08-15-2012 01:19 AM

nurspec looks a lot like a supra wings

reeves 08-15-2012 01:54 AM

if it came with your car, it doesn't look ugly enough to replace/remove... yet.

It was meant for it. the 86 has it. Plus, it's your car. Do with it what you want.

The Grand AM Spoiler is raised up and doesn't even go past the trunk lid.. totally different...


I love the way the OEM Spoiler looks. I put it on my FR-S. I don't understand all the hate about it, personally I think it's the best one out there currently, compliments the sharp lines of the car. After I installed mine it totally made a difference at the way I looked at the car. I don't really dig just a small curve or lip off the trunk.

What ever you decide to put on the car is meant for it.

You gotta change your mentality. That's like saying that I can't buy a FR-S/BRZ because it has FR-S/BRZ/86 wheels?

The wing comes standard on the BRZ and 86 outside of the states and it is probably just a matter of time before Scion offers it as an accessory.

I favor the STI lip :drool:

me to.

I like everything about the TRD except the wing. It is way too much for a painted wing. If I were to go with something that huge it would be a GT wing.

I'll be adding a rear spoiler to my FR-S eventually, probably one of the lip versions.

eriktherod 08-15-2012 03:13 PM

That GT wing pic only needs the rear fog light flashing to make it complete.

Is that a single exhaust tip? Interesting.

SkitterSkotter 08-15-2012 03:34 PM

Yeah it's ugly for sure, Not a fan of it at all. I would LOVE to see how the fr-s looks with a very simple aluminum spoiler, something not too big but enough to be somewhat distinct and off the drunk. The NUR wing looks great, but it is just a bit too big for my taste. That said, the duckbill does looks pretty sweet, I could see myself rocking that one day.

serith 08-15-2012 04:22 PM

there is no reason to have a spoiler with this car in its stock form. all it's going to do is make it harder to wash/dry/clay/wax the trunk lid, and add weight to the car.
