Trouble deciding, help me the internets! (trunk lip question)
 
So here's my dilema;

I can get an OEM BRZ trunk spoiler and have it painted for $300.

Alternatively I can get a Seibon CF trunk or an Outcast Garage CF trunk for roughly double the price of the BRZ spoiler, including shipping.

Both of the aftermarket trunks have the lip molded in and from what I've read are lighter than the OEM trunk, very very insignificantly lighter.

I've got a raven FRS and the stock trunk needs to be modded!
Any opinion with a reason would be greatly appreciated!

Buy them both and switch every week.

Buy another FR-S, and put one of each wing on both cars.

There have been many reviews on this forum discussing the bad fitment of the SEIBON parts on the FR-S/BRZ. I suggest you read some of those and then make an informed decision. With that said though, I have no firsthand experience with them. It never hurts to do your research first though.

Buy an fr-s AND both trunk lips and then switch them back an forth.

In my experience, seibon spoiler did not fit and they refused a exchange, as they put it after it ships transaction is done. If you do decide to go seibon, go through ft86 speed factory, he will help you if it doesn't fit, outside of that, I actually like the oem brz one. Not saying its going to happen to you, just saying it has happened lol

I've read most of the bad about the seibon fitment issues already and its a boner killer but it's still in the running. The lack of pictures and only 1 review on the outcast garage trunk are what are keeping me from pulling the trigger on that. I like the BRZ wing less than the molded lip style, but I can get such a killer price I can't not consider it.

First world problems...

I saw a guy locally who installed a tC spoiler and it looked better than the BRZ piece. Price is also attractive due to ubiquity of the part.

Buy the cf lip spoiler by westcoastprojects like I did for about $350 or so
