2017 new BRZ spoiler swap? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Alexx933 · 02-17-2019, 01:01 AM

For those looking to install the new wing on their older BRZ limited, the new wing mounts will fit into the original 13-16 wing bolt holes! I removed the 2017+ wing from its mounts, installed the new mounts loosely onto my trunk, set the new wing down, and hand tightened its bolts. Once everything was loosely put together, I tightened starting with the mounts. That allowed everything to fit together!

Mounting holes aside, 13-16 trunk is not reinforced tough.

Is that really a pressing concern..... I doubt it.

Who knows? Was sufficient for toyobaru to do that, even while redesigning part costs money they'd be glad to save on.

@Sergeb96 How is it holding up so far?

Very good, but I’ll be Changing to a SARD or Rowen wing in a few months lol. But very good, no leaks or anything.

So what was your method to covering the old holes?

I just used some plastic plugs from my old spoiler holes, and painted them my color. But this time, I’ll get a new trunk lol.

Bumping this thread up from the dead.

For discussion purposes, let's say you're not a big fan of the newer 17+ BRZ wings and want to install the 13-16 wing on.

I know the 13-16 wings have more fasteners on the center section of the wing. Anyone know if these are removeable? If so, it seems like the 13-16 wings are compatible on the 17+ trunks.

They are compatible, but you will be left with two holes at the sides that will be open I believe. There is a thread on here that talks about the duckbill spoilers not fitting the 17+ models as they leave these two holes open. I had made the mistake of purchasing a duckbill spoiler before knowing it was not going to fit my model. You can see these extra holes in this video:

Does anyone know where you can buy an active rear spoiler or wing?
I have only found a few videos but no diy install kits?

Maybe mounting a separate kit like this one onto the trunk?

Super old post, I know, but you sir are a Godsend. Thank you! I plan on doing the same thing to my '15 FRS. My '17 spoiler is just sitting in the closet and I had no idea on how to install. Nice work!

Question, anybody know the paint code or color to the black matte part of the spoiler? Mine has a few chipped spots. I've tried coloring it in with a black sharpie that was recommended by someone from a fb group. That didn't work (go figure.) Maybe get some black touch up paint and call it a day?
