I'm sure you get asked all the time but what spoiler is that, and in your opinion for mere mortal drivers is a spoiler like that noticeable at a track like cayuga?


Thanks so much! Thank you! I'm glad you like it. My previous FRS did have the same stripes, but it was a white FRS w an orange stripe (Ver 1.0) then it switched to a blue stripe (Ver 2.0). The Porsche GT3 RS was clearly the inspiration. Love that car. Great street/track machine. And I really feel the FRS is the same. Just at a completely different price and thus power point. But same insane fun.


The wing is a SARD LSR wing made for the GT86/FRS. SARD is responsible for a whole host of Toyota Motor Corp forays into Japanese motorsport. Proper wind tunnel and proper race prep company. They build this carbon wing for the FRS.....and its DRILL LESS!! No drilling on your stock trunk!


This wing is of the low-drag, high stability type. Less for downforce, more for aero stability and not create too much drag for this low powered car. The stability in the rear you feel when apexing at 120km/h. But that only happens twice at Cayuga.


Great looking and mostly functional wing!
