How do you like your gurney flap? Have one sitting in the JapanParts shopping cart right now...

I like how it looks on my WRB BRZ because of the contrast of black and blue. For me, I enjoy it as a cosmetic piece, not something I'd brag about for lower drag coefficients.

Same reason I'd get it, the black/silver to match the diffuser and front bumper. I'm assuming that since it's STI it's a good fit and solid build quality?

Fitment isn't an issue. As for quality, the piece is just a long rubber strip so I can't really comment on that.

Fair enough haha. I guess I'm sometimes just a little OCD. Thanks man.

It's amazing that the car drives like it does from the factory. For a stock car, it's brilliant. That doesn't mean it can't be improved a bit here and there

Currently stock, and will remain primarily that way for the life of my ownership with the exception of: 1. A few chassis stiffeners / braces (within the next month or two); 2. upgraded tires (once the stock tires are done); 3. upgraded rotors / pads / brake lines (once my 3/36K expires).
