Ditto. I think i like the OEM wrap-around one better though.
I'm guessing they're hard to find though.


If someone would know where to get an OEM wrap-around feel free to chime in.

They're not OEM, but they're close enough for me.

The blue car's wing is different than that. It almost looks like an RE-Amemiya FC wing while the one above just looks like ***

that blue car belongs to one of the members in this forum, i asked him once about the wing he said he made it himself overall that's one of my favorite cars in this forum, ...that other wing looks pretty cool too, i think the arch could be a bit smaller, like lower to the body, but maybe that's just me.

Yeah, it's an RX-7 not a MKIV Supra LOL Doesn't flow with the body at all. Something much shorter would be nice, maybe like an S8 adjustable spoiler

I have an FC spoiler that I am "adjusting" to fit on my FB. It actually will look really good. Have to fill in the left hand side antenna hole on the spoiler and build a notch for the FB antennae on the RH side.... Have only seen one other one done, but looked good.

Later,
Bill

I'm not sure what kind of car it's originaly off of, but I like it. It's very mild but adds just a little bit of style and shape.

That's the RE-Amemiya wing for the FC. If the bases were modified for the slope of the FB it has potential, otherwise it would angle too far back and just look terrible

I had a FC style spoiler on my FB for a few years, fit quite well actually. I didn't have a an antenna on the car so I just filled in the hole and smoothed the bump out. Fit pretty well, but I ended up going with a different spoiler after a while, I'll see if i can find a pic somewhere....

For that vehicle's application its probably better to keep it on. The second one is probably to increase the downforce.

Looks like the bottom spoiler is a cut whaletail.
