TRD aero fins, yes, if painted. TRD on BRZ is weird.

TRD rear louvers, no. It'll destroy the effectiveness of that giant wing. Louvers completely screw up the boundary layer on the rear of the car, adding turbulence and a low pressure area. The wing won't get any clean air. It'd effectively make the wing not exist aerodynamically, and create lift in the process. Double fail.

I love the look of the louvers, but aerodynamically they are a huge fail.
