It's honestly just a rubber flap. You could make your own if you REALLY wanted to do so.

I was just thinking that you might not have access to see one... Yes, it's a simple piece, but after all the time you'll spend finding, molding, cutting and adhering, you'll wish you had just spent the $100 to have it one-and-done. Time is precious: Bought, Not Wasted. haha

Yes, that is HUGE. I got this STI emblem.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Impreza-STi-...54305d&vxp=mtr

Which is 30mm x 7mm. I don't know how small the STI sticker is that comes with the flap, but I think you should get the flap first, THEN worry about the TRD badge.

This is about the smallest I'm finding.

Yup, pretty much the lowest prices with the most reasonable shipping. I've seen other vendors on FT86Club maybe shave a couple bucks off their prices for group buys, but otherwise JapanParts is just nicer to work with and ships quickly as well.

Has anyone had any issues with the Gurney Flap in respects to rain? It doesn't rain a ton here in Fort Worth, but the concerns I have are the effects of rain on the adhesive properties of the tape. I have installed mine with the tape only for now, and am debating doing the drilling if rain does affect the tape enough.

Alaska sees a lot of rain late in the summer. Mine got weathered with rain, freezing ice and sudden warmth and is still on strong. No need to drill.

Also I often drive speeds of 80+ mph and have never concerned myself with wanting to screw it down.

People attach shark fins with just tape all the time and those hold fine... I wouldn't think this would be any different.
