It is using the black gasket. Not as noticeable from further away; definitely a "5 feet" type of thing.

Hey I'm just wondering what the options are for duck-bill type spoilers that fit into the factory trunk lid spoiler holes for the Limited BRZ?

As I hear the TRD spoiler does but it's hard to find (?), any others?

I have a feeling that you didn't even look at this thread?

Not one bit, I even gave where to order it and how much it cost!

It comes with another gasket for the whiteout. It's more of an eggshell color.

Good to know! That may have just made my choice easier.

Admittedly I didn't read through most of first page, kinda skimmed over it, and read most of the 2nd page.

I guess the info was on the 1st page? Haha.

I'm mainly asking (since it wasn't really mentioned here) if the TRD spoiler uses the factory holes that the BRZ Limited spoiler uses, like a direct OEM?

You can see some of them here:

It's light grey...not really eggshell.

It does NOT use the holes left behind the OEM Limited/GT-86 spoiler. It DOES cover them and vinyl seals are provided for all the holes in the trunk. You have to drill TWO new through holes for the studs on the TRD wing which are secured with plastic nuts inside the trunk. The wing itself mounts with pre-applied adhesive tape.

That answers my question very well, many thanks. Do you know how much body work is necessary to get those two new holes in the lid? I don't want to have to spend a lot of money at a shop to get it installed.

Do you know of any aftermarket spoilers that use the OEM spoiler holes? So I basically just bolt on, no body work necessary.

I find this pic so funny as I work at a jcp n have a firestorm frs. Who is spying on me?!

It's strange that they didn't just use the stock holes, since the BRZ spoiler is the same as the 86's spoiler everywhere else. And for those who don't have a spoiler, then it doesn't matter where they have to drill.
