Your last sentence said it all. You have it on a track car to serve a purpose. Not because you think it makes your car go faster or keep the rear end planted while driving 35mph between the stop lights.

Gotta have mad downforce for the street, yo. It's safer!

I hope not, it would look even better molded into the trunk. THAT would cost an arm and a leg though.

Exactly. Don't forget you already decided on a silver BRZ, so we should be good to go

I actually like the spoiler and that is why I am getting the Dark Grey Metallic Limited.

I'm not making any judgements on the spoiler until I actually see it in person from different angles...with my OWN eyes.

I have an Evo VIII and it has a huge factory spoiler that gets made fun of. But if you stand at the rear of the car from a proper distance the endplates of the spoiler actually disappear into the car's C pillars. So it doesn't look completely ridiculous and aftermarket.

This small "lip" spoiler (in comparison to the Evo spoiler) is just fine by my style. Looks nice and subdued. Just for looks anyway.

In person, the spoiler looks a little too rigid. From the top, the angles are very harsh, look somewhat awkward. I still like it though.

The more I see the BRZ's Limited-trim spoiler, the less I like it. I'm kind of surprised the Limited spoiler actually improves the Cd. The Pontiac Grand Am picture mirrors my sentiments. The TRD duckbill and Gazoo Nur wing look much more balanced and/or functional.

I like spoilers usually, but the spoiler they chose looks really ugly. I'm digging the TRD spoiler, but I wouldn't mind a park bench wing like the s2000 Cr got. I'm sure they'll release a special version with one down the road.

Any of you guys notice that there are pics of the FRS with the same wing seen on the BRZ limited? So I guess they'll have the same exact wing on both cars?

Oh yeah, sorry. I meant the FT86/86. I've seen pics of it with the same exact wing that I've seen on the BRZ limited.
