Where'd you purchase the wing? I've been looking into maybe picking one of these up. Is it all fiberglass or is the center piece carbon?

It's an all fiberglass replica from China, had a cousin there to help me buy it. I had the option to get it with the carbon center(also had all carbon pieces, which I should have got to save weight), but I probably would have painted over it anyway.
If only dealers sold the real ones, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble to get it.

I believe it's the New Zealand TRD spoiler...

Edit: Nvm, Choco ninja posted before I did... But the style is of the NZ TRD, I believe.

Cool! I saw a few on Alibaba/Aliexpress so maybe I'll buy one through them...

Anyways, looks good dude! Keep up the good work!

So after 53k miles of constantly racing it, autocrossing it at least once, and teaching about 10 teenagers how to drive it, my clutch FINALLY went out in my BRZ. Just got it back yesterday, replaced with an OEM clutch since I'm not planning on adding more power beyond bolt-ons. Feels so WEIRD to have the clutch feel like it did at Day 1. Also, I had the transmission fluid swapped, oil changed and diff fluids replaced, so the car pretty much does feel like a brand new purchase again.

I still can't NOT drive it hard... I slow down by gradually releasing the clutch and not just stepping on the brakes, but I may start using the brakes more. I just don't like wearing out my taillights! I kid! I kid!

I've also decided to not move away from Alaska just yet, so I'm going to continue modding Rinzler to my little heart's content instead of saving the money for moving like I had planned on doing. Which is good, because I let a female borrow my car while I was out-of-state for the past two week and she completely cracked my Bayson R front lip...
