Did you ever get to buy the Nameless Axleback exhaust? I'm also looking forward to getting the one with the 5" mufflers but I want to see what differences there are with the redesign. From what I could find on their website, they still haven't rolled it out. I saw your post on the thread for that exhaust. Did they ever get back to you?
Thanks!

Hey man, thanks!
Never did get the axleback.
The website has not been updated, but I do know that they have been selling the newer style now.
All you would need to do is call in to place the order for the new style - same price.
They are probably keeping the website how it is until the old stock of parts are sold out.

Yes, drilling new holes is required even with the limited spoiler.
As you can see above, the new holes are just beside the existing ones.
All instructions shipped with the spoiler are in Japanese, but the pictures make it pretty self-explanatory.
The new holes require a 10 mm drill bit, but start with a smaller size first, say 3 mm.
The large bit will slip by itself, so the 3 mm acts as a pilot hole to keep the 10 mm in place.

Interestingly enough, only 4 bolts hold the limited spoiler in place.
The 4 on the far outside.
The 5 holes along the mid section are all clips.
So as you as you undo the four bolts on the outside, you just need to pull up on the spoiler to get the clips out - it is a bit violent, so hold the spoiler steady.

Also, when releasing the 4 outer bolts, take care not to drop them inside the trunk lid, you will never get them out and will rattle every time you drive.
I backed them out with a ratchet until they were very loose, then used a magnetic retrieval tool to finish them out.
If I had a magnetic socket set, that would've been ideal.

The install was really simple once the prep work was done.
And reversible if I ever need to return to stock form.

What did you cover the limited holes with? Just some sort of vinyl?

Yeah, there are vinyl "stickers" that come with the TRD spoiler that you just apply over the holes.

Recently changed the oil, and removed the Radium PCV catch can to see where the accumulation stood.
This is after 3000 miles of driving:

A little late, but they've updated the website for the axleback, in case anyone else comes looking (or if you change your mind :P)

Good luck with the sale!

Are you planning to do a part out? I might be interested in some parts...

Yes, most likely.
I will update this thread when available.

Wow, already? That is surprising. Seems like you just got it where you want it.

Yeah, mostly testing the waters.
I was trying to get in to a Porsche Cayman, but didn't work out.
Think I will keep the BRZ a while longer.
Going to add a few more things to make it perfect...

Going to attempt the DIY for functioning fender vents this summer.
The hood lift at speed really is annoying, and the "cooling" effects are a bonus.
Going to buy a spare set of fender garnishes to retrofit, then paint to match.
Aiming to keep all the stock parts in case of a future sale.
Anyone attempted this themselves?
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to use to support the molded middle piece once I cut away the "vent" portion of the garnish.
