Nice or Rice? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just saw a 2017 BRZ with performance package in person...

Overall I really liked it a lot with one exception: the new wing. A little too fast and furious for my taste; I prefer the old style or better yet the TRD.

Does the new wing bother anyone else?

I am not into the really tall ones. I think the 2017 spoiler looks amazing. It is low and understated, not obnoxious at all. Funny but my wife prefers the older style though. :-)

I like it. It's not huge, black, and in your face, and it keeps nice and low so it's pretty subtle.

I really liked it in the pictures... just in person it looked tacked on as opposed to integrated with the design.

This won't be the first time I'm in the minority as far as opinions go...

I am with you! It looks like something from Ebay bolted on the back. Doesn't help that it isn't eve the body colour (other than the ends).

Not as rice as the stock Lancer GTS/GT wing though.

Couldn't see anything with that thing on the back.

I prefer the previous version more

I like it on my 17. It is something different, yet I feel it fits well. The colored pieces on the sides really bring it all together. I was a little unsure of it at first, but it grew on me. After washing the car a few times I liked it a lot. Odd I know. I really like it now. Matter of taste.

not rice enough.

New wing is beautiful & I believe more functional. It's literally the only change in the car that has my attention.

a little jelly

I like the new wing...looks good.

I also like practical. Washing a car which has a wing is certainly a PIA.

Car needs a turbo in order to make real use of a wing.

Generally, if you have to ask this question, it's probably the former
