Same for me. But I got the TRD one instead because I don't think the fiveaxis spoiler will cover all the holes

I too suffered lower back pain the first week of ownership. Decided to spend a bit of time adjusting seat and steering, back ache gone and driving position never gets a second thought.

Yeah, I don't think it does. That's the only reason why I'm trying to swap with another member with the wingless one.

I did not know that and I was looking at the Fiveaxis too. I guess it's TRD for me, at least until someone comes out with a better one that covers the holes.

Things on your car that you have grown to like...

I went from a GMC Terrain to my brz. Had a little backache for maybe two days but now feel hugged every time I climb in. My wife still doesn't like getting in or out but once she's in she finds it very comfortable.
She had the "everyone is so much higher than I am" blues for a week or so but doesn't even notice now.

Make sure you compare them in real life. 5axis does look a lot better imo. It flows really well and finishes higher. You could always try and get a trunk swap but thats a hassle

I am lowered almost 2 inches and the wife outright refuses it ride in it.


On the plus side I can now identify most SUVs and pickups by the shape of their door handles and trailer hitches.

In the same boat as many here with the OEM spoiler.
Even though it's such a small piece of the car, it made me hate the entire body, but I'm slowly coming to terms with it, and thinking less and less about swapping the trunk out with an Aero Jacket one.

I originally was very annoyed at the red on the seats.
This weekend somebody asked me "why red on the seats?" and I responded "what are you talking about? What red?". I am so used to it I forgot it was there.

I hate all the T's around the car (I drive a BRZ). But I'm starting to not even notice it
