A closer look at the optional Aero kit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BenArmstrong · 07-16-2013, 02:57 AM

Im not sure if anyone has done this yet but I recently bought an actual camera and thought I'd try to help all of the people considering this kit for themselves (and who live in the countries it is available in).

So here's a few snaps.

I still don't know if these photos do the kit justice, in my case I was regretting ordering my car with the kit right up until I saw it in person.
Gives the car an edge over every other standard 86 around (which there are a lot of in aus now)

Your car looks great! Wish we got that aero option over here in the States. What kind of exhaust are you running? Looks different from the OEM exhaust we have over here.

Cause its not OEM

. Nur-Spec aero always looks good. If I had an FR-S instead of a BRZ, this is probably the kit I'd go for. A few people here in SoCal have imported this kit in.

Yeah I imagine there'd be ways of sourcing the kit over there. Not sure of the cost but its not exactly cheap over here ($3000 op extra) so could be worth it?

Yeah, you can get it through japanparts.com. It's probably around 2-2.5k to ship it here. Cheaper yes, but it IS grey market, no warranty, etc. It cost me about the same when I shipped my STI aero kit for my BRZ

The aero kit looks good, minus the wing. I was originally going to get the aero kit but backed out because of the wing; good choice as everyone seems to tell me it looks stupid!

I got the Aero kit and removed the big wing, replacing it with the TRD lip spoiler.

Sold the wing to a member on here. The big issue is the wing puts 12! holes in the boot, so best plan is to do a bootlid swap if possible (preferably with someone who has the same colour as you).

Yeah I know the wing is not for everyone but hey, because racecar right?
All I know is you shouldn't make your judgement until seeing one in person.

Cool cool, sorry, my comment was meant as a broad statement to everyone

I'd love this kit, but shipping it to California is too much!

I Love this kit it looks better in person and is functional :-)
