BRZ STi Wing Gurney Flap - Page 17 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Did your gurney flaps come pre drilled with holes on the ends? How did you guys cover it up?

They have holes and it comes with two plugs. If you chop the bottom bit of the plug off, they will go in the hole without drilling your spoiler

Just got mine from Japanparts, but it did not come with the two screws or the sti badge... Only came with the flap itself. Anyone else have this problem?

Mine came the same. No screws, and no badge. I thought maybe I had ripped open the package with too much excitement, and lost the screws and badge. But I guess not = /. Didn't care much for the badge, but I would have liked the 2 screws to cover up the holes.

I would return it if it were me. With the badge and mounting hardware , its an overpriced piece of garden trim. Without that stuff, it's just garden trim.

Mine also showed up this way. I'm going to contact the japanparts.com support person that contacted me about the front lip backorder.

Actually...I have to take back my last post. I was careful when I opened the package, but sure enough, I just found the clips and sticker on my floor! HUZZAH!

I got a WRB and heavily debating if I should get this along with the JDM tips I'm going to order... I'd save shipping cost this way right?

And I know this piece isn't exactly cheap, but doesn't it look and feel cheap? Wouldn't other people just think it's a piece of rubber? (which it is.)

For me this was a must have. I HATED the OEM spoiler the way it sat with the "horns" or high points at the ends. It made the spoiler "complete" for me.

I am constantly and consistently getting compliments on it. Yes, it's expensive for a piece of rubber but I think it's totally worth it and would recommend to anyone with the spoiler be it any of the 86 variants.

It's a piece of rubber, i don't think anyone would describe a piece of rubber as expensive or high quality so in that sense yeah it feels cheap to touch. Looks wise it's fine, you can't tell until you're up close that it's rubber and it sits very flush if you install it accurately. I'm happy with mine, ties the shape of the spoiler together well. It gives it a bit more of a flat look to the rear of the car, whereas the standard spoiler breaks up the lines a bit too much with the wing tip bits.

Pic of mine on a silver 86 for reference, excuse the bad phone quality.

^ hmmm... it actually looks nicer without the STi sticker.

Even though it makes more sense for me to put it on since I got the same marking on the front lip and side skirts, I'll probably leave it off from the gurney flap once I get it.

At least it makes the spoiler a bit different from ever other BRZ out there... Kinda expensive, but meh.

Here's my flap!
