Hard to tell with the rear. Need a shot of the underside to see how far that diffuser goes under. If not that far, a simple panel would turn it into a decent stabilizer for the rear.

The diffuser looks stock. If you go to the "live coverage BRZ reveal" thread, scroll down to the photos of the suspension. You can pretty much see the bottom of the car. It is almost completely flat, with a few bumps and stuff here and there, but the covers end at the rear suspension, and the rest is more or less exposed. The "diffuser" I believe is blocked by the muffler case, which gets dirty airflow coming off the suspension and diff.
To make the diffuser fully work, I think you'd want to put some covers over the rear suspension components (perhaps cut a hole for the diff for cooling), and then do something about the muffler...assuming it can't just be moved a little.
And SUB FT86, no worries I think the tack ons look bad too
I even don't like the lid spoiler, bare trunk for me. They make the car look out of proportion, particularly the front extension piece. IMO the nose is perfect stock. If I put side skirts for aerodynamic purposes I would try to put them out of sight. The stock car has the perfect proportions, just rides a bit high and has sorta big wheel gaps IMO.
