17071, Spoilers Posted by DSMRoadster, Mar-13-02 02:31 AM
I'm thinking of upgrading my spoiler. Don't want that fast and furious shit, seeing how easily it can get stolen. What wings or spoiler utilizes the stock holes and doesn't necessaily need me to get rid of those two side stumps on the fenders of the rear? Someone point me in the right direction please. I would like to have everything home before I do. Thanks fellas.

if your goign to do the aftermarket wing why not do it correct... take off the three piece wing and fill in those holes and put a clean looking wing on there.... that's what i did and am so much happier i did it that way

There is this wing (on my car) it replaces the stock center peice, and the top wing is molded to the bottom part. and what do you guys mean doing it right :P

Damn vector, that's a sweet wing. Is it a custom job, or can you buy them somewhere?

Hey Vector, you got really nice tailights, and rear, but I personally don't like that wing. It's called the Viper or something right? I think Nopi sells it. Doesn't it just attach to the stock center piece of the wing? Or is that another similar wing?

I want to get an aluminum wing, or how others refer to it "the dish". But what do you mean they are easily stolen? Cuz if somebody can jus come up to my car and steal it then dat would suck. How do you prevent it or can you?

dood anyone will steal something if they want it bad enuff....they can still rip off a $300 wing like mine, or a aluminum wing, doenst matter.
That's just the risk u take...buy an alarm. get low-jack.
I agree too, however I don't vector's wing. I also agree that u gotta remove the side pieces for it to look right, right now I got lil red patches covering mine with touch up paint over the patches...so it hides them well until I get the kit installed and my paintwork done...
(hint hint...greeneclipse and cucumber...take off ur side pieces) :P

There's really no "doing it right" thing about wings here. It's more about what looks nice or what I prefer. For example the VIS invader spoiler allows you to keep those two side stumps on. In fact it enhances the look. I have no problem getting the holes filled since money is really not a problem. Right now I just want the less hassle. Aluminum spoiler is more proned to getting stolen for 3 reasons. 1) it's universal. 2) it's a whole lot easier to steal than spoiler that are model specific. 3) everybody and their mother wants one. Car alarms are overrated. They help, but very little. Out of cars that have alarms on them over 90% still get shit stolen from it or fully jacked. Trust me, I know. So is anyone going to point me in the right direction?
