Yup! Top of the window is best
(and it doesn't block your rear view like the OEM one does... I mean this wing doesn't help either lol)

Some spoilers have the brake led in the trailing edge. This must increase rear view and enhance safety visibility. Not on this platform I guess.

Just installed RCE Yellow springs on my '20 earlier this week. I've been driving around for a little bit to listen for any weird noises. I'm hearing some rattling in the rear passenger side, but I'm confident it's the carpeted side trim in the trunk. I can hear it rattle even at idle from the exhaust, and it essentially goes away when I shove a sweatshirt between the metal and carpet. Everything was torqued and re-torqued during install, but I am going to put it back in the air and re-torque everything again tomorrow.



The install itself was very straightforward for the fronts. When it came time to doing the rear end, I found out I put the provided dust boot covers on the fronts instead of the rears. This caused me to essentially redo everything just for that small mistake. I would say this was good practice and a good introduction into basic suspension work.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

Installed the OEM mudguard. As many mentioned, it’s top quality. Got it from Amazon.

“Genuine Scion Accessories PU060-18013-P1 Mud Guard”

Install was without removing the real wheel which was a real pain . Reason was I did not receive my jack stands and wanted them on her. Though but was possible. Used the 90 degree attachment with short countersink drill bit. Push the liner hold it and ask your wife to pull the trigger



Results are very satisfying

Installed the Perrin wing riser kit on the OEM spoiler. Have to say I think it looks so much better in person than it does online in pics. Very pleased!

Finally got new wheels after 6 long years of ownership. Really makes the car feel like my own now.

What do you guys think? Tire size is same as OEM @ 215/45r17, but the PS4S looks a lot meatier. Stock wheels really sink in at the back.
