No rubbing at all for mine. I was lazy and had the dealer fit at a service. We have a hole in the ozone layer above us so the sun, even though not as hot as in California, is very strong from a UV point of view and no issues with it and have had it installed for approx 16 months.

I'm definitely gonna reinstall it again, but using the spacers. I guess what I did wrong was stick it to close to the trunk.
Anyway, for anyone purchasing this...don't eyeball it like I did or you'll have problems down the road. |

I did not perfect centralized at beginning. However, I am worry that I will deform the plastic, if I put too much force to take it out. Thanks. |

I was also confused on how to install mine. I was in a hurry so I just slapped it on without the spacers. It does rattle a little, but since my exhaust is pretty loud, it doesn't bother me

And the sticky sided tape was easy to just rip off when I uninstalled mine, especially at the edges. |

I've been wanting to get this, I just wish they made a generic one that was half the cost.
For peeps that have this part, does the TRD logo look like it could be removed? |

Until then, I'll be waiting for a knock off. My BRZ can live w/o the TRD branding.

Here is mine. I let the dealer to install it since it's sort of OEM.

I'm glad it's glossy black. I've never been a fan of big pieces of carbon fiber unless it's a roof/trunk/hood. |
