TOM'S new aero for 86 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The downside to Tom's is that you have to buy their quad tip exhaust. I prefer the Modellista kit myself. I still dig their red taillights.

I'm assuming the thing I can't think of the name of right now (spoiler? lippy-thing?) on the bottom of the nose piece is an integral part of it. Wish they had one without it.

The description says the aero is race prove and provides high downforce and low drag. Thus I think the front lip must be an important part of the front bumper.

I really don't need downforce, I need not-ugly.

I love it. Would put the front end immediately if I had a kouki.

They just release a picture of a front lip for the Kouki bumper too, that's on my "to buy" list for sure.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a kouki bumper?

Since it is a Japanese car some people feel they are suddenly Japanese and use the terms Kouki for the new model and Zenki for the old. Now of course if they are Japanese and use the terms properly then that is cool but if not they are just pretending.
I personally don't feel that the slight facelift warrants calling the car a new (Kouki) version but then I am not Japanese so maybe the term is correct in this case.

Zenki/Kouki is faster than typing Original/Facelift.

Old/new is faster than typing zenki/kouki and you don't sound like a weeb

So you save .00001 seconds of your life? More just a pile of weeaboos. With a handful of legit Japanese thrown in as well of course.
