tS Wing on BRZ
My current dilemma:
I currently have a 2018 tS (LOVE THIS CAR) and do not like the look of the wing. What do you think will be the best option here: Buy a used one (have no idea where) or a new one painted from a body shop (worried about orange peel and paint mismatch here). I don't want to get rid of my stock trunk/wing nor do I want to just remove the wing leaving holes. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful! PM me any contact information if you know someone selling a trunk or if you know a good body shop that could help get me a new painted trunk. Color is CWP if that helps. Thanks in advance!! edit: budget is $2k Last edited by SS4goku; 02-25-2020 at 04:13 PM. |

Imo, the sard cf wing is the best looking, I just sold mine and I miss it. I doubt you could find a wing to match the EXACT holes the ts wing leaves behind. Good news is I bet you could get 1200 for the tS wing. People buy 1200$ sti axlebacks. I honestly have no idea how much the tS wing is worth, but I gUrantee you it's a LOT.

can prob find a trunk for cheap at a junkyard, craigslist, offerup, maybe not ebay but ebay.
this frs is practically asking for someone to take its trunk. looks straight, just get it painted or wrapped. find a reputable body shop to get the color as close as possible to stock https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/...081263693.html |

If "functional" was your thing, then:
https://9livesracing.com/collections...gt86-2012-2019 Since you don't even like your stock ts wing, my guess this is overkill for you! LOL |

verus engineering makes a cf duckbill that covers all holes supposidly. you could ask them
I went through the work of filling the holes with weld and getting the whole thing blended to match the trunk. though you having a K1x code might be easier to find a k1x trunk and just snag it. and do the duckbill thing.. |

perhaps soon a new 2020 subaru tS owner will want to swap trunks since they can't get the wing on the new one ^^
