Thanks. Yes and yes. Spacers are 5mm on the rear currently. Running TRD lowering springs which is a drop of around 1"-1.25". The rear wheels also have some negative camber due to the lowering springs so keep that in mind. I am contemplating moving up to 5mm front and 15mm rear.

Yeah, I have a series.blue and as you can see in the pictures I posted a little bit ago, the wheels look pretty small. The car looks to sit pretty high and I was thinking about wheel spacers. Do the lowering springs make the wheels more flush already or do you think it needs both.

I hate to say it but you're gonna need bigger wheels. I have the JDM 18" STIs which I imported from Japan. The 18"s make a huge difference. The springs take care of the gap between the fender and wheel vertically and the spacers take care of the gap horizontally, if that makes sense.

Lowering the car actually makes the wheels less flush as they'll camber in a little bit.

Yeah, I was more thinking fixing the small wheel syndrome that the stock wheels suffer from. I was rushing to finish typing that and didn't double check what I said. I think adding spacers and lowering it about an inch would fit what I want.

I like a lot of the trunk lids. Or some sort of ducktail. Most of them look pretty nice.

I like the TRD spoiler/duckbill. Mine is an eBay replica, they have it in both O2C and K7X.

are they all the same or did you have a specific seller you purchased from? I see one that's paint matched here:

Pretty sure they're all the same, but I got mine from some company called Xpert-Tuning.

it seems like they are all sold by the same people under different accounts... all of them have the same prices.

How was the fitment/paint match? just ordered mine. Can't beat 150 with paint matched..

paint match is essentially perfect, fitment is nearly perfect, there's a slightly rough patch at one end where they didn't fully sand off the mold marks, but otherwise fantastic finish.



I put a bit of extra 3M tape at the corners and no issues with it on track. (100+ MPH)

Thanks man! Looks like you didn't drill holes for them or did they not come with bolts? I'll use your pic as reference when i install. I appreciate your help!!
