Based on my wiring, No.
I believe if we would be able to use all the harness that’s provided they would.

I printed myself two sets of spacers for the gas pedal, which align the gas with the brake. So it is more convenient to do perezovki during braking and in general the speed of the leg transfer increases.
Why two? Because they fit very comfortably on the printer's table.

If you don't need to carry a lot of people or cargo, you can definitely live with a BRZ every day as your only car. It does all the jobs I need – daily driver, errand runner, limited cargo hauler – as well as the jobs I want, like back road carver, occasional autocross toy, and, eventually, occasional track car.

Do you have pics of how much of your fender you ended up cutting?

People yea, it is a bit crowded for 4, but as far as cargo I guess it depends on what you mean by a lot. Folks pack a lot of stuff into an 86 as you'll see here.

I hope these help. These were the only photos I took.. :X I only cut the area where the vents would be (see the second image using the garnish pop clips as reference points for yours). If I had the older model fender garnishes then I would've extended it more back (but I like this design better). I can feel heat escaping through them. I was initially going to install some discreet vents on the oem CWP hood (if you know of any.. let me know!!), but I wanted to keep the oem look. So I tried to take a stab at this one first. Seeing how you have the 86 garnishes, I think it'll be easier to cut out the fake vents on the garnishes than the brz variant.

Does it have any effect on hood lift/wobble at highway/interstate speeds?

I didn't notice any of that at highway speeds. I assume if it was an issue, others that have done it in the past with the more popular 2013-2016 brz garnishes would've said something in the diy fender vent threads. My intentions for doing this was to help venting out heat from the supercharger in stop and go traffic and after parking.
