Good choice! Nice to see something tasteful but different.

Spoiler-less is defintely hot. And my preference as well. But I do think it depends on the color of the car. Yellow obviously has to have a spoiler, and I think red and MB looks better with. Silver and White look better without. And black can go either way. Just an opinion.

Oh and BTW wutanec, your car does look good. I always liked that spoiler. It's reminiscent of the porche 911 duck wing.

Really? So it reuses 3 of the 4 holes from the stock R spoiler? Only one hole is left unused on each side??

'96 - '98, when Efini was producing the FD. Hence the "Efini spoiler"

Sure




And this is a pic of a forum member's FD...I think he's the only guy on the forum who has this spoiler too...

The spoiler looks great I have the same one but haven't installed it yet.

So you drilled three holes on each side, two for the bolts and one for the plastic plug? Did you fit this plug just into the hole or is there a cap that fits into the hole that it fits into?

Did you use a template when drilling the hole to install the spoiler? I know that someone on here has posted a template for the 99 spec one but I have never seen one for this spoiler?
