I don't think it would take too much work to change the attachment holes....

This is a cool idea. I'll see if I make my money back from this one and if I do, I can look at expanding.

I understand the concern about it shouting aftermarket and I wanted that OEM look too, which is why I located in the most hard to see spot. You have to crouch down and look underneath the spoiler to see it. From walking around the car it's basically not there.

Plus if you look at 99% of after market parts, the names are slapped in the most visible spaces.

I just want to make sure its as subtle as possible, but still tell people who made it. This project isn't going to make me a millionaire, so if i can get a few more sales from people seeing the logo it'll be helpful.

THIS shouts aftermarket (besides just being outright awful in every conceivable way). Your part is the model of restraint.

Let's have some perspective here.

WTF? That Perrin one is fugly as hell.

Suddenly I don't care about Drambeenie's name on the risers. Carry on.

They’re two tiny dimples but the surrounding area on the trunk looks indented from the rubber piece. I’m gonna provide a small cover for them BC they get dirty easily.

Saw @Drambeenie's car in person today!

The risers look great! Drambeenie showed me what they look like straight out of the 3D printer and explained the materials a bit and how they work.

Those dimples mentioned earlier this evening are quite small. Does seem like they collect dirt or something, so that cover he's including might be helpful if you care enough about it.

The current color-match paint job he got on his (Black BRZ) might need some polishing or someone else to do the mix but otherwise it looked well-done.

In response to seeing the logo; Standing at the rear wheel looking to the back of the car you can only see one or two of the letters. It doesn't stick out at you. Standing at the back of the car looking to the front, the spoiler covers the logo.

The color match is very close to stock, blends in surprisingly well for SWP. Finish is smooth and shiny, but I know Drambeenie is very concerned with quality. He won't let you guys down.

I originally was concerned about the dimples from the pictures, but at least with SWP they don't jump out at you. I can see them collecting dirt, but it's easy to clean.

Been swamped with other obligations but I will get the car a proper cleaning and have plenty of pictures to share.

So when is an official price going to be listed? I'd really like to get these
