A new bootlid is £450 retail direct from Toyota

GT86 is without spoiler, GT86 Pro has a spoiler with delete a free option. BRZ always has a spoiler. OE ones are easy to get as forum members sell theirs. So look out for one in your colour. The TRD ducktail can be stuck not OE. Drive it for a bit and get to know it before thinking of upgrades.

Good info, thankyou. Looks like getting a spoiler isn't the obstacle I feared. There seems to be a few options, especially if you can buy a new boot lid with spoiler for £450?

Not keen on stick on as for drilling holes depends on how brave you are but a boot with no holes is gold dust

Thanks, Interesting. Much like what @James18 said.. If I get a plain unadulterated boot I might be able to do swapsies without too much bother.

When I was looking for a white BRZ there were only two to view in the whole country.  Plymouth was closer (but not very close at all).  I don't think I've ever seen one on the road, and GT86s are not that frequent a sighting, either.

Frustrating for sure but it's part of the appeal.. at least for me anyways.

The only BRZ model on sale is the SE Lux like mine.  That comes with the facelift spoiler as standard.

It's a shame there are so few about at the moment.

I thought all 2017+ models come with a factory spoiler?  Certainly the BRZ does.  Is there still a base model GT86 without a spoiler?

I'm not entirely sure about the BRZ. The only one I've seen so far did have a spoiler but it was a bit of an iffy example. 86's on the other hand, I'd say it's about 6 without spoiler to 1 with spoiler on the market at the moment. edit: they were listed as pro spec.

I'm not aware that the rear subframe bushings need upgrading. Personally I think the rest of your list sounds like a great place to start.

After that I'd upgrade the front door and dash speakers. There's a Focal kit (IS165 IIRC)that's pretty much plug and play and sounds so much better than the stock speakers, for not a lot of money.

I'd also not waste any money on the sat nav; it's useless.

Thankyou, fortunately I already have a decent Kenwood with good Garmin SatNav. Will definitely look up the Focal speakers. The bushing kit was recommended by a Toyota salesman. The specific kit is the Whiteline KDT922

If you get a plain boot put on what you like but wouldn’t put a oem spoiler on so many other choices

Thanks.. I was thinking OEM for insurance declaration reasons. Do you need to drill holes/bolt or is it stick on?

Hello all, I intend to buy a 2017+ model 86 or BRZ in the very near future. I'm still very green when it comes to this particular vehicle so please excuse my ignorance.. I'm learning.

I preferably want one with an OEM spoiler but there a very few about on Autotrader, Pistonheads, Ebay etc. On the other hand there a loads of spoilerless ones (will call coupe). So I started to wonder what it would take to add an OEM spoiler to a coupe version. Do you need a new boot lid etc? I also intend to do a bit of light modding (for regular road use). From the research I done, the car would benefit greatly from new tyres, exhaust manifold, tune and rear subfame mounting bushings. I'm fairly close to Fensport which is good. If there is anything obvious missing from that list please feel free to add to. While I'm at it Is anyone aware of places to find good example BRZ/86's at the moment? I've read your buyers guide which has been helpful. Thanks guys & apologies for my indiscriminate questioning.
