#87473, "gsx spoiler position"




          

Me and my cousin were sitting on my outside step lookin at his gsx. Well we were lookin at the spoiler and he asked what i thought about moving the wing back more toward the edge of the hatch. I told him it might ne more "painstaking" than what its worth but now the more i think about it the more im woundering, has anyone ever done this?

Also, he asked if maybe the supra spoiler would fit cause he likes the look of it and our spoilers "kinda resemble those spoilers. I kinda laughed at him when he asked that, just cause the ricer was starting to come out in him, kinda funny, but the same goes as the first question, the more i thought about it the more my mind ran with it. Has anyone done this either?

about the supra spoiler- ive seen aftermarket spoilers for our cars that are very similar to supra spoilers, and in my opinion, look like ass. As for the GSX wing on the edge of the hatch, i dont know- I've seen many cars around here with those universal wings and they mount them on the edge of the hatch and it looks funny. I dont think it would look too good- it would look funny from behind.

moving the turbo spoiler back to the edge of the hatch would screw up the lines on the body in my opinion

the supra spoiler is debatable..because it does look good to an extent...but then at other times it's vomit inducing...

don't push the gsx spoiler to the edge, it really screws with the flow of the car. People who have done that seem to not know how the spoiler actually goes mounted.

I have moved mine back. It is completely symmetrical on vboth edges and is as clase to the rear hatch as possible. No holes are visible. The total amount I could move it backward was about 2.5 inches. I think it looks better because it slightly hangs over the back of the car making it appear longer, especially with silver being a color you can easily see.

The front of that looks like it's just going to collapse or cave.

And Ryan, that is one slick car.
