I'm old-school (and just plain old). I prefer the looks of most cars unadorned without useless frippery like spoilers that serve no purpose at real-world street speeds. I love the lines of the BRZ, and think the airplane-wing boy-racer rear spoiler mars the otherwise clean, elegant, and (dare I say) to my eyes, beautiful, looks.

It (obviously) didn't stop me from buying the car, though I'd much prefer the looks without it (I once bought a new Miata and convinced the dealer to swap trunk lids with a non-spoiler car so I could be rid of the unsightly goiter back there).

Has anyone removed the rear spoiler? If you have, how did you do it?

I'm definitely not willing to fill the holes and paint the trunk lid. I like keeping the paint original, and have never had repaints match. Are there any other creative options? It looks to be attached with two bolts on each side. How big are they? Are there any body paint colored plastic caps that might fill the holes?

I don't relish the looks of 4 little plastic caps on the trunk lid either. But to my eye, that would be less offensive than the small ironing board back there now. If they were just big enough to fill the bolt holes, and matched the body paint...

Thanks!

I have to admit that I hated the naked look of mine until I installed the OEM aluminum spoiler with the Drambeenie risors. I think it looks rather slick now.





Sure wish you would have said something about this a year ago. We could have swapped trunk lids and saved me a whole mess of work.
