Can't help on a pic, but thank God they only have one of the Super style ones left.

As for the GTU spoiler, look in the 2nd section. That wing is almost identical to the TII and GTU wing on the S4s. I have one in the basement, but I can't get the damn after market antenna out of it. Always wanted to test fit it on a 1st gen.

Im sorry to say but i kinda like the super style ones, even tho its a supra rip off.
Super--->Supra--->Super. Same ****.

The old school ones look like daytonas, i hate them. I want a bigger spoiler, fiberglass, kinda like the one that was on that widebody for sale.

I got the GTU style spoiler from mazda trix...but decided to just shave the antenna and go without it...I was selling it but got too many low ***** people offering like $50...I'd put it on a k-car before I sold it for that

Yes, but we drive 7s, not Supras. If you like it. that's fine, if you want one, hurry, there is only one left.

I like the Daytona, on the Daytonas, for the street, not sure on that one.

What I would really like to find are the extensions for my whaletail, I have only seen one pic of one with them. Between the roll bar, the whaletail and 5% tint, I have enough trouble seeing out of the rear view mirror. With the extensions, I'd never see the popo behind me.

Why are you letting the popo catch you anyways lol jk. Yes yes, its very bad taste to put one of these spoilers on our cars, I like the long sticking out spoiler, it does not have to be that kind, i just dont like the lip style ones, sorry.

I don't do anything for the popo to try and catch me, lol. When I first put the widebody on the street, they followed me constantly, never seen a car like it I guess. I do have to watch it though, with the speedo being off by 10% because of the tires.

I was told that it will fit with minor if any modifications to the mounting holes, I haven't yet attempted it, but I plan to put one on one of my FB's. the only thing that would have to be modified would be the attenna hole, its on the wrong side...

The FC spoiler looks better than most out there, but I still think I would prefer just the regular lip spoiler over it.

Personally, I think that spoiler looks way too modern for the car, in a way. I prefer the lip spoilers, or a fixed whale tail, not that fugly flying whale tail that mariah sells. Here is the one that I got, from a junkyard car in perfect condition.
