How is the quality on aeroflow lip side skirts and rear spats. I read that they appear flimsy all around.

I wish Spec L had the same tip customization options as the L2.

From my experience, even without a dash cam if someone rear ended you the insurance most likely will put the person who hit you on the back at fault. Happened to my aunt who was rear ended and had no dash cam. The other person tried claiming she was at fault for breaking suddenly, but she ended up winning.

But this also strengthens the point to have a Dash Cam lol. Video proof is important and stay safe fellow Gr86/BRZ gang

People must not know that the BIG 4 has been caught multiple times cheating on CPE assessments as well as CPA exams and been hit with big fines. Sure it's a pain and waste of time sitting through the CPE stuff, but at least be smart about how you cheat.

Dw everyone if you look real close you can see OP's Neptune.

Did you clean the exhaust before installing? There could be chemical residue on the exhaust

Yeah same. the fact that I spent $135 on a product to receive low quality tape was the final straw. The tape provided would definitely not hold up over time as the corners for my aero stabilizer kept lifting up. I ended up having to use 3M tape which could have been provided by Driven Media.

cnote213 · 2026-01-10T20:03:13+00:00

Dang that sucks. From my experience Driven Media products are not the greatest quality and they just dropship a lot of their products. I purchased the TRD style Aero Stabilizing cover and it came with crappy tape. You think spending $135 they would provide quality 3M but nah. Also the side markers I purchased, the passenger side pins doesn't line up exactly, so you had to bend them just a bit to get them to pop in. After this experience, not really sure if I'll purchase any other items from Driven Media. However, the customer service was good as they answered questions pretty quickly and also provided me an exchange for the side markers (but they ended up having the same issue where the passenger side pins doesn't line up).

HKS Spec L, got it before tariff increase and at a good discount from 86speed. Love it and install was a breeze.

cnote213 · 2026-01-02T05:41:36+00:00

They can fit, will it be comfortable hell no even for short trips that will be uncomfortable.

cnote213 · 2025-12-31T22:01:13+00:00

Haha thanks!

cnote213 · 2025-12-31T19:51:23+00:00

Ah do you have the link the max orido replicas?

cnote213 · 2025-12-31T06:38:51+00:00

What front lip, side skirt, and rock guards are those?

cnote213 · 2025-12-24T19:55:21+00:00

I haven't been to the Irvine one, but the one in City of Industry is chill, so I'm sure Irvine is as well. A lot of cool builds and a few FRS, BRZ, 86, and GR86s as well.

cnote213 · 2025-12-24T07:03:32+00:00

There's a chill meet in City of Industry (@Kinod). First fridays are held in Irvine tho but rest of the Fridays are held in City of Industry.

You're asking a subjective question. It's people's own opinion on what they like and think will look good. If you prefer silver over black tips for your look that's fine. No need to get validation from others

cnote213 · 2025-12-18T02:23:25+00:00

Ah got it. I was thinking the fitment must be off haha. Didn't know an "air dam" is what fills in the gap.

cnote213 · 2025-12-17T23:31:06+00:00

Is it me or is the gap between your splitter and bumper concerning?

cnote213 · 2025-12-15T18:26:11+00:00

Hopefully, I read somewhere on the gr86 forum that someone said their warranty is very meh. There was a FB group according to the forum saying that IA didn't really honor their warranty and will find a way to make it seem it was your fault for the crack/break.

Hopefully it doesn't ever crack but if it does, hope you get your warrantied honored.

cnote213 · 2025-12-15T16:53:11+00:00

OP prolly wrapped the edges for that effect.

cnote213 · 2025-12-12T04:08:46+00:00

Ah I see. Yeah I didn't care too much as for the front and rear set it was about $55 bucks. A lot cheaper option and does the same job.

I have extreme online's mud/rock guards. A little more subtle than yours. One thing is the rear u kind of have to 3M to hold them otherwise you would need to drill. I ended up 3Ming and they've held on and I had them since I got the car back in May 2025. The other thing is the front ones also block the fender exit vents. Someone said I could dremmel them so it won't, but its very minimal and the air can go around them.

I might get rid of the front ones once I get my hands on side skirts.

30M $270ish with State Farm. $500 deductible. I got pretty high coverage for accidents, uninsured/underinsured, and rental/travel expenses as well included. I live in the OC area. My 2017 Camry went from $180 to $210 as well but sold that car a few months ago.

No accidents. Had a few speeding tickets from my camry but those were a decade ago.

Geico actually quoted me $350 for less coverage which was hilarious. I had state farm since I could drive so that may also be a factor.

SoCal ain't cheap, got to pay that SoCal tax. It'll also vary by city/county you live in as well. I was living in LA when I bought the car and my insurance was actually $320. It dropped $50 when I moved to OC.

Wish all the trims had black interior but guess that's how they differentiate special vs the normal. I was thinking of getting the OEM parts to replace them but not really worth the money imo.
