TRD Front Canards on BRZ front bumper?

[spike021]

Install went very well last night! At least for the kouki BRZ bumper, they actually match the lines of the bumper super well. These went on without any forced conforming/"bending" to the bumper. They match up nicely with the lines the bumper has, and the "rear" of the canards can be somewhat pointed and stuck on with their 3m tape in whatever direction you want. So my friend and I angled them toward the lower corner of the sidemarkers.

So yes, they do indeed work on 2017+ BRZ's at least. Hope this was helpful!

A couple quickie pictures from this morning:

they worked out just fine (check my previous reply).

I'm glad that you made them work! The BRZ looks great!

Looks great man! Now time to show some love to the rear

He should get a Versus rear diffuser! Right, Josh? You know you want one.

you got them to fit, but it doesn't mean the angle of attack is correct...if it is, then great. If they were just for looks, then it looks fine.

You sure are complaining a lot. I mean, you could be contributing at least halfway meaningful commentary to this thread, but you're not even doing that; you're just coming across as a **** that I, to be honest, did not expect you to be.

But, I'll respect your attempt at a 'critique' a bit. Least I can do for your time.

I mean, I obviously prefer it to be at least a little functional. but on the other hand I'm not going for a maximum performance build or anything. This car is one half daily, one quarter mountain roads challenger, and potentially one quarter track/road handling course car, but I have yet to do more than a single track day.

So, do I care if the "angle of attack" is correct? Sure. But if it's off by a bit and not getting me the best amount of additional airflow do I give a fuck? No.

FWIW, this is direct from the TRD Japan site:



Now, obviously my bumper is different from an 86 bumper. But this shows roughly the same positioning.

And another FWIW, while I don't have a picture to show this right now, the corners of the canards actually line up almost exactly with the winglets of my STI front lip. Now I'd assume their "angle of attack" is pretty accurate, and I'd thus imagine (though not being an expert myself, obviously, except with talking out of my ass) that if they match up with the canard, then they should be plenty "functional", if only a little.

Really? The angle of attack may not be correct? The affect of two small canards is so great that the angle of attack is critical?


Careful Spike. You hit Mach 3 and the whole car may take off or nose plow into the ground.

It won't. Catback exhaust-vectoring will compensate canard aero.

Only if you have the TRD catbck to go with the TRD canards. Any other catback will just exacerbate the effect of the angle of attack.
God knows where Spike could end up.
