Don't really care for the chunky look the TRD boot lid spoiler has.

In that case I hope not many other 86/brz owners decided to go for the 5:AD kit then. Wouldn't wanna be like everyone else with the TRD bootlid spoiler.

I swayed more toward the 5AD at first but decided on the TRD instead. There isn't many options so everyone will have either one of the two. You can't be an individual in the car scene anymore...

I prefer the TRD one, but the 5Axis one is just as nice. Just personal taste in the end. I will keep my boot lip naked

Quality of TRD vs Five Axis will be interesting to see.

My White GTS:

  • RS*R Sports-i coilovers
  • Perrin light weight pulley (going on after break-in)
  • LED number plate lights
  • Getting tint done tomorrow
  • Opti-coated outside with nano sealant inside
Wants:
  • New rims
  • TRD lip spoiler
  • AMUSE/Auto factory/Swift Racing Tech exhaust + header
  • Some form of forced induction later... HKS maybe?!
That is all... for now...
