Personally its not my deal. But if you do want it, go with the erebuni spoiler. It seems as the company is about to go under so you could snag a deal.

Look at the other stuff they have for our cars.

The first kit looks alright, sans the spoiler...

Both of those spoilers look rediculous on an FC. I say keep it "spoilerless". If you absolutly want a spoiler, I'd say go with a TII spoiler. Atleast it functions on the FC and it does look good.

added a couple of other poll choices for the thread originator, because the choices he had were (in my opinion) lacking.

Thanks, Icemark, but I was actually trying to get opinions specificially between those two. I know most people don't like 'em, but I do. I actually have another thread going, also started today, offering 5 options- 2 supra-styles, clean, stock, and other.

If people could keep their poll answers between the two Supra-style ones, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I vote for the Supra with no spoiler.

Shaved car = slick.
Supra spoiler = shopping cart.

NO NO NO NO> Do not start multiple threads on the same subject by the same member!

Now it has to be merged together.

Come on, isn't there enough problems with the servers without people creating multiple threads on the same bloody thing?

Sorry, Icemark; didn't realize it was such a huge problem... If I'd had my way, I would've closed the original 5-option thread, and gone down to the 2-option thread.

Do that, s4 sport, or go home.

My friend has that spoiler on his FC and it looks very nice. Much nicer than some POS supra spoiler.

Louvers perhaps? Painted to match the vehicle of course.

The huge curved spoiler looks ridiculous, ricey and doesn't follow\match the boxy\straight profile of the car in the slightest bit. It will look 'tacked on' (or just plain 'tacky') no matter how well you paint match it.

I voted going for the stocker.

If you need something more aggressive, there are other after market JDM spoiler for the FC that are just bigger versions of the stock spoiler - they will at the very least match the cars looks. Search if you're interested - you'll find pics lying around.

Hahaha, so does ANYONE care at all for the Supra-style spoilers? or at least think one is less hideous than the other, since y'all hate all the spoilers I like?

Oh, I'd be all over the RE-style spoiler made by Corksport, but $300 PLUS shipping (most companies ask around $80 from my experience) is pretty hefty. I'm looking to spend like a third of that. haha.

I'm not sure if either spoiler you posted do what you want....

$80 for a rare JDM spoiler? Even if it is a replica you won't find anything decent for $80. You must only have experience with APC\Pep Boys aluminum triple deck spoilers....

You have an NA, why do you want or need a spoiler? All it will do is add weight, drag, and slow you down! Hell, I don't think those supra style wings are even functional at all. So if your actually looking for a little extra downforce, the only downforce this spoiler will create will be from the weight of it and nothing more.

Supra style spoiler =

Juceh, NOOOO, re-read!

I said $300 for the spoiler.
The $80 was referring to what companies ask for shipping. Wings West and Erebuni are both in line with this.

Really, would it make sense that a $300 spoiler is sold for $80 shipped?

Admittedly, though, I could have phrased it better, so that my meaning was more clear.

While I disagree with most people here, and still intend to buy an Integra Type-R looking spoiler, Juiceh gets +1 for finding the best smiley face ever.

I'm also working on getting an s5 spoiler from Rotary Ressurection, and trying to find a way to make those two easily interchangable. I DO want my car to look different, though. If it was a Civic, I wouldn't do this. But really, I don't go for most of the Wangan-style wings that most guys pop a boner for.

Shaved is hawtness without the mirrors. I removed my TII spoiler and had it shaven (with antenna) 10x hawter.

Edit: Since I voted other I'll elaborate.

If you want your car to look special and unique, there's many other ways to go about it aside from adding a distasteful, gigantic wing to the deck. The possibilities are endless and you're only limited by your imagination, the fact that a wild and (IMHO way over the top) spoiler is necessary for you to build a unique car - speaks volumes about you creativity Not be offensive.

I think you should use a pinic table, that'd be unique j/k

ClassicAuto--
Eh, a picnic table is a little big for me; I prefer an aluminum park bench built to hold a 400-pound man.
Really, though, I'm a little creative with the intake, and have already had my share of creativity in body work (85% of my front driver fender is original; the other 15% is not. can you tell which is which?), but as for creativity with a wing/spoiler, I don't really have any materials to fabricate anything. And no offense was taken; a pre-made part will never be "creative."

It is all up to your personal taste...personally I think it is hideous. I like the stock "wing" that it comes with. If you are only going to use it on the streets, there is no reason for having a wing other then aesthetic appearance.
