Nice to see it around a couple vehicles. Really shows how "low" it is vs. the original release photos.

Most likely yes.I believe that's Toyota way of understanding the whole US hype about ductail spoilers "You want them?You have them".But that doesn't mean everyone want it.In my opinion it should be a cheap extra.

I wouldn’t worry too much, the spoiler will be available on eBay for $80 painted and shipped about six months after the car comes out.

That's excellent. I have the refreshed first gen 86. I really like this evolution.

Yeah, that's too bad. This should definitely be an add-on only. I assume there's no taking it off without there being some issues regarding the holes there.

Hopefully they'll fix that for later editions because that spoiler is a little much (but I like the adaptive features/plus the wheels so the base model is a no-go).

A lot of spoilers are held on with 3M type tape these days… especially a lip spoiler like that where there is a lot of surface to stick adhesive on. It’s a lot cheaper to do it that way than to make variable tooling. If I were a betting man, I’d expect this will be easy to remove and sell on the forums to base trim and BRZ buyers.

If this is true, then it would be an easy fix. Buy the premium model but remove the spoiler so that it can look like all other market 86s.

Or just swap the trunk lid from a base car... I am sure plenty will be available used within a year.

I did this with my 2013 - two bolts, a couple wire connectors - takes about 15 minutes and you cannot tell the paint difference between cars. You won't even have to deal with the license plate on the new cars.

I got my trunk lid from an online add, but there used to be trunk swap trading threads and I am sure there are people that want the duckbill.

Neptune blue in the wild!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Wait, the Gran Turismo update is live?

Edit: nevermind it’s just the update news article

Nice
I think the neptune works better on this generation than the last.
