Considering my options on spoiler. Whale tail?

Im thinking of what kind of spoiler i should get to accent my FD. I've always had a secret love affair with whale tail spoilers.....well tastefully done ones. Ive seen one on a FD that was kind of molded to the tail lights. Anyway can anyone point me to where i might find a tasteful one?

I'd go with stock 93-95 or 99 spec. As long as it's not an aluminum aircraft wing it should be okay tho. Never seen a whale tail for an FD. also the 96' spec spoilers are pretty cool, but seem to be hard to find. Good luck

Could you clarify what you mean by "whale tale spoiler"?

As long as it's not an aluminum aircraft wing it should be okay tho.
So carbonfiber is okay?

I agree with the spoiler choices listed by live2drive15. You can't beat OEM fit, quality, or look IMO, however I've chosen the spoilerless look.

This one? It's made by RE Amemiya.

I like that CF tail cover but it looks much better with a 93 spec then that huge thing. But hey Re can get away with whatever, that's a dope ride!

'dolphin tail' - is the 96-98 version

the only thing, I've seen, that could be termed 'whale tail' is the RE Amemiya drag spoiler

Also affectionately called, "the ironing board".

The wing on the WRX is a dead ringer for it, eh?

I actually just got the RE amemiya piece for the taillights and took off my 93 spec spoiler. I'm pretty pleased with the look.
