I am 100% adding a top hatch spoiler at some point. this car is begging for it. id love to have the circuit editions big spoiler but as mentioned, seems to be missing in press cars and even toyotas parts departments view. so not sure when or if that will be possible. however the aftermarket will have a field day with this car... so not worried.
BUT besides the spoiler, I do want the hood and vents. I mean...really completes the look of the car.
I agree 100%. I was looking at my GRolla from the side and I feel like it really needs the spoiler. It just looks like it's missing something.

Agreed, in fact, I forgot that I started this thread, and since then I installed the Toyota factory spoiler on my GR corolla. Here is a picture along with a link to the YouTube video where I do the installation. Hopefully the video will help somebody else to install, the factory spoiler. As a hint, buy the template from TOYOTA!!! Your installation will be smooth as silk!

Do you have any pictures of the whole vehicle with the wing on? I'd really like to see it in all its glory!

Unfortunately, my iCloud storage is full and I’m dealing with that right now, but if you want to see my car, in all it’s glory, check out my YouTube channel HowToHeaven, where I have several videos of it! Thanks for your interest!
 
^ That looks a bit larger then the actual CE wing to me but I could be wrong.

Looks like the size of this WRC style wing Epsilon is working on releasing (I really like the smooth styling over the spikier looking wings). I need to see more aero dynamics testing though. I'm weary of negative impacts of large aero at high speeds -

Definitely hard to tell from the angles they give but I do agree it looks like it could be slightly larger than an actual CE wing. Either way I'm not paying $1200 for a tape-on Chinese knock off. Still interesting to see some options popping up!

I'm following Epsilon's progress, so far it's my favorite aftermarket design prototype I've seen.
 
You can get the XSE spoiler already painted, right? Anyone know if it's the same black that comes on the core? Car companies love making tiny variations in paint colors...

XSE spoiler looks out of place on the GRC, it doesn't match the widebody dimensions at all. Would rather rock no spoiler than the XSE one.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different one. Could've sworn it was the XSE though...
 
I just installed a rear spoiler that I found on eBay. It's different from the OEM version and I like it a lot. And if I ever want to change it I can easily do it. The video I made shows it well.
Looks like the Blitz style wing for the regular Corolla hatch...

How is the fit and finish? Does it follow the body lines perfectly, or are there gaps? And concerns with using it at highway+ speeds?

How is this holding up over time? Have you had chance to run it on the highway? I'm worried the double sided tape will start to fail at speed...
