I know it is... And so is ur point. The thing is that the only people who seem to want or need this equipment is young people or track stars. Just doesn't appeal to me. Blocks your rear view and is plain ugly. Personal preference but it always surprises me when I see the number of people who like this stuff. Oh well good thing I'm getting the brz

Personally I think it looks awesome, Yes its a bit excessive but that's the whole point.

Its sorta like "Hey Look At Me!"

Have you seen the WRX STI's driving around with their huge spoilers. Ya I don't see many of them tracking their cars but it still looks bad ass.

I love the car in orange, I don't know why everyone's got a hate on for it, ya it's not a traditional colour but who cares.

Hey, hey, heeeeyy......watch it there buddy!

The STI was built with a purpose, wing and all. I was stationed in Germany for 4 years. At 150 mph you start to appreciate the wing and the downforce it provides.

With the FR-S/GT-86 I think this spoiler is a bit of an overkill. Just like the mono-block Brembo's on the 210hp Genesis Coupe. Nice to look at, but is it really needed? Then again maybe that's what they were aiming for

The TRD rear spoiler is the best looking most tasteful so far. The wing makes the car look cheesey in my opinion.
