The install like all the other pieces was very straight forward. I didn't even put it on the lift. Just jacked from the diff, took my time and it was less than an hour.

I tried to find the suitable rear spats which can align the OEM diffuser well or at least close. I feel that will look better.
The HT Auto one is a little bit too subtle for me
How do you think the USAS and Chargespeed one as below?
Do you think they can align with OEM diffuser well with good fitment (without any modification)?
Thank you.

I'm going with the spat in pic one. It's URAS I believe and I am hoping that it will flow well with my diffuser.

Why?
If HT Auto is close to align the OEM diffuser, Chargespeed should also close.
Both are attach the bottom of the rear bumper.
I think the URAS should consider the black part to see it can align the left and right part of the OEM
diffuser or not ( the center of the OEM diffuser is lower)
The height of the STI spats looks close of the center of the rear tire.
However the HT Auto , Chargespeed and URAS looks lower than the center of the tire.
That’s why I feel they (HT Auto , Chargespeed and URAS) can align the OEM diffuser better than STI,
but I am not sure. I might be wrong.
Thank you.

The HT doesn't align perfectly. It is still higher than level.

You will need something that drops lower than the rear bumper to line up with the diffuser.

The STi spats are lower than the bumper and still do not align at level.

Really, I don't think that it is an issue of concern. I think you can pick the one that you like and you will be happy. No worries.

Or might choose this kind of rear style as below and will never need to

worry the alignment issue anymore. ><

Yep. There are a plenty to choose from with the twins. This was a super strong draw to the car for me. Seeing aftermarket support from to OEM's and all of the usual suspects.

I think that you'll really like which ever one you choose. I've yet to see one that I don't like that is within reason.

Actually, the HT Auto rear spat align the OEM diffuser very closely. It is much closer than the STI rear spat.
Thanks.

Sorry to wander off topic, but do you know anything about those tail lights? They look almost stock, but they have the black accents and don't have the red lenses to the outside of the casing.

They are JDM 86/BRZ spec. They are exactly like the USDM less the red reflector. They get a clear reflector instead.

There aren't any black accents. It's just the lighting.

I can understand the accents being the lighting but my SSM BRZ has red reflectors towards the outside.
