STi rear roof vane on BRZ?

Has anybody ever fitted one of those STi roof vanes on the BRZ/FRS or made a custom one? I honestly love the look of those on a spoilerless STi and was trying to imagine how it would look on my BRZ.

the point of this is to pull air down and make the rear wing on an STi more functional.... on an 86 this would just be a pointless hoop.

No one would like that mod either; as an OEM sti roof spoiler requires you to drill two holes on each of the C pillars.

Other options include using industrial double sided sticky tape but you run the risk of it ripping off at high speeds or ripping the paint if it did rip off.
