I'm not upset with how this looks. I hate duckbill spoilers, but this isn't terrible looking like the rest of them.

With a starting MSRP of $749.99, how can you possibly not want this as an upgrade to your BRZ/FR-S/GT86?


Um, I don't crap money maybe? Installed pics? I wonder what they base their performance improvement claims on...

It's a lip spoiler, performance benefits are a farce at best. The price is entirely based on complexity and materials. It's carbon fiber and not a single contour. Plus the password jdm markup, the price isn't surprising. It's also not unreasonable given what it is. How much is a CF hood? And is way less complex and has even more negligible performance benefits.

True. But considering PWJDM is going out of buisness parts coul become collecta le/OG status.

They aren't necessarily going out of business, just making plenty of big changes. And I would pay that price for a whole trunk at best. That spoiler is nice, but I'd pay $500 max, and I just bought a duckbill seibon trunk for 660 with tax and shipping included. I'm afraid to hear the price of this spoiler with tax and shipping..

I looked at this wing before deciding on the Seibon CF oem wing for BRZ
Great looking wing, just couldn't justify the cost after clearoat and shipping
