All 3 of those use the already existing line and slightly pull it back a bit further. It's elegant, well designed as a rear lip should be. I'm really shocked they're not just using the TRD lip since it's already made and they could just get the molds and make those for probably a fraction of what they spent on RnDing this thing. They would have also sold a ton more.

I'm getting one for free and I don't know how I feel about it -_- . I prefer five axis, but I can't argue with free parts.

My dealership accidentally installed this spoiler on my car today instead of the 5AD one I had requested. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, although it looks a lot better than the BRZ one.

hope they plan on giving you a new trunk if you make them swap it out since they put holes in it now

Doubtful. The spoiler kit also comes with stronger hatch struts due to its weight.

Their customer relations manager made things right. The OEM spoiler will grow on me one day.

Its actually not a bad spoiler. There's a thread around here where a member has the spoiler and the TRD exhaust which really look good together from the back.
