Sorry for digging this old thread back up, but I'm in the process of installing my new-to-me '17+ BRZ Limited OEM rear spoiler and Drambeenie risors on a virgin trunk lid, and am asking anyone out here with a '17 and up BRZ Limited or a '17 and up 860 who has also installed the Drambeenie risors for a few measurements. Starting with installing the spoiler first using the OEM risors, after careful eying of where they should be placed using pictures from some of the above installations, so far I've got some 5/16" round holes drilled in the trunk and the spoiler set down in place so that I know that this is relatively close to the proper position, I know that some of the OEM holes are oval, which appears to be out of necessity due to the way the bolts set in place as you lower the whole spoiler down onto the trunk lid, which I may have to widen these newly drilled holes to accommodate for the bolts so that there is no metal-to-metal contact between the bolts and circumferences of the holes. I don't want any popping noises or rust to form from dissimilar metal contact. These holes will of course get a coat of body paint before I'm done. Then I installed the Drambeenie risors onto the spoiler and tried it that way. Now I'm just looking for measurements from anyone that has the Drambeenie risors on a '17+ model car with the factory-drilled holes. I'm needing measurements as seen in this picture here, and as seen in this picture here, This is just so that I know my installation is as close to factory specifications as possible. One other thing, did anyone ever figure out how the two outer wings come apart so that I can remove them? In this picture here, it certainly looks as though they are able to be disassembled. If I were to guess, there is an inner and an outer piece that snap onto the center piece and once they are removed, the two screws on the bottom of the spoiler and the two on the end must be removed to complete the removal procedure of the center piece. I'm planning on customizing the spoiler ends. Should I just start prying them off with some panel removal tools hoping that they don't break? Any advice would be appreciated. |
