Not wild about the "spoiler" on the limited cars though. It's the only part of the visual design I don't really like, actually. The TRD one is much better, but the best one (IMO) is the 5 Axis one-- that's a great-looking ducktail:

I used to care less for the limited/GT86 spoiler than I do now when I first got my BRZ but I have to say I absolutely love the spoiler now! I used to think I would want to switch to the TRD spoiler but its such a commonality on 86's now. Not that that's a bad thing but the duckbill style is what it's all about and while I like the TRD, Legsport, Carsmo, and even Five:AD I love my limited spoiler. Not too mention it makes it so I can use my STi gurney flap. I think the spoiler is underrated but in the rear quarter panel shots, the angle of it really makes it look sporty! Anyways, enough of my affinity for the OEM spoiler. I will say however, as someone who appreciates OEM quality, Troy and the team at Five:AD are superior and very much trusted in my book in terms of quality and tasteful alterations. From my RS8.0 to their take on the 86!

Exactly one of the reason why I almost like it more than my TRD one.

As much as I like the TRD spoiler, it annoys me that one certain angels you can't see it so it looks like the car doesn't have a spoiler. Yes you can get those extenders, but I don't like them. Starts to make the car more busy.

The OEM is great exactly for that reason! The fact that you can see it from almost all angels makes it great and the car looking more complete.

You know, the only spoiler I would get for this car would be a "duckbill" spoiler, otherwise keep it OEM
