Got it! This was the pic that did it and super easily too.
![]() I continued with the rest of the disassembly. I took measurements, but we're also going to 3D scan the pieces to create a CAD model we can modify to be taller. The pylons are definitely plastic with metal reinforcement for the screws to attach to. Pretty easy to disassemble actually. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Removed the little pieces that sit ontop of the wing. They pop right off with a plastic panel tool. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Little rubber piece. Not sure if this will be necessary with the higher spoiler. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Please post the results! I really like the 17 wing, yet I also had the idea of having it raised a little bit higher. Exited to see how this turns out!

Kind of a long shot but I'm guessing the MY17 spoiler doesn't match up properly with the 13-16 spoiler bolt pattern, does it?

In my rough estimation you could attach a 17 wing to a previous year BRZ if you patch the trunk clip holes |

I'm in for following this. I've been talking on/off with engineering friends about this over the last 6 months. I just haven't pulled the trigger on any development yet.
A side note. Subaru strengthened the '17 trunk lid on the sides to help support the weight/downforce of the new spoiler. So while you could retrofit it to an older trunk, it might deform. |

They specifically designed the new spoiler to complement the car aerodynamically with what's going on up front, not sure why you'd wanna mess with that too much.

Initial sketches - not CAD yet. Let me know if you guys like any in particular. It's hard to judge without seeing it in physical form or on the car, so we're going to narrow it down and prototype just a few of them. Happy friday!
