i think i'm digging the front end of the gr86 more than the brz but not as much of a fan of the duckbill spoiler. hoping for a factory delete option on that.

I believe the duckbill is only on the higher trim GR86. The base doesn't have it (or so I've been told).

Apparently the trunk is a 2 piece section, one part metal and one part plastic. Really curious as to whether that means we can actually replace it if we wanted to.

That said the Japanese GR86 nor the ones shown in the UK's Goodwood festival of speed doesn't seem to have this spoiler. I suspect this is a North American only thing and that all these spoilers will be attached at the port.

Really don’t like the duckbill spoiler and hope it can be easily swapped with a non-duckbill car. Toyota North America, stop trying to differentiate the car to be more North American.

It's virtually guaranteed you'll find someone willing to swap. Making the swap happen will be the tricky part.

It comes with a ducktail. The premium GR86 has an even bigger ducktail on top of the standard ducktail.

So no, its not an option. But potentially it could be removed - hard to tell.

Happy 8/6 day

I'm sure the duckbill can easily be removed. Don't fret so much...

[ayau]

it just looks like the premium duckbill just sits on top of existing plastic duckbill. i have a feeling there will be holes on the premium duckbill. it might be best to remove both the upper and lower bills and swap that as one piece.

John Camissa has said that the standard spoiler on GEN II "the small one" is supposed to be plastic. It is a separate piece from the trunk. It seems they did that specifically to make it easier to mod the trunk. You can see the cut lines for it. You likely unscrew it from inside the trunk.

But yea, how they mount the extended spoiler is still a mystery. I believe the extended spoiler is only offered in NA.

Looking at how they mounted GEN 1 spoilers you might end up with several holes.



My guess is that to remove it, you will have to remove the standard spoiler, then lay it upside down to get inside of of it to remove some clips or screws, but you will have holes in the standard spoiler.

Unless they used 3M tape, which would surprise me.

Check out 50:10 in this video:

Looks like the whole spoiler piece of the trunk is attached to the rest of the trunk with pop clips:



My guess is that the main trunk piece has a large cutout where different spoilers can be installed, rather than just holes in metal?
You can see that the Blitz folks installed a non-ducktail end of the trunk, which I like.
I don't know if they made a custom one, or it's available in JDM.

The original ducktail piece includes the black horizontal line between the taillights, and the mounting location for the rear view camera.
Looks like Toyota/Subaru designed it in such a way to allow more aftermarket options;
the real question is if and when aftermarket is going to make some nice options.

Trunk rear section is removable with 25 plastic pins and few screws. It does house the rear camera and trunk lid opener switch so, replacing it will need some sort of mounts for these devices.

The Blitz flat trunk is their own part of the body kit. Factory panels are all duck tail
