Whale Tail spoiler for the Rx7?

Anybody know where I can get the Whale tail spoiler for the fd3s rx7? Pictures below of the "Whale Tail" spoiler. I've searched everywhere but I can't find it.

What kind of body kit is on this Rx7? It's clean/sleek and looks Dodge Viper'ish. At first I thought it was a Bomex kit but it's not:






And does anybody have any more pictures of the car above? It looks very slick.

look through the "post pics of 3rd gen" thread... i'm pretty sure it was discussed in there and fairly difficult to find and pricey. or search this section either for whale tail or viper spoiler things like that. i know there's a post in here somewhere that people talked about it somewhat in depth.

by the way, pretty sure you have two different spoilers in your pictures. the first one is a spoiler (kicks up off the back end), the second one appears to be an RE Amemiya tail light cover (duck tail spoiler sticks out back not so much up), a replica of which is for sale https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-center-69/gb-re-amemiya-carbon-tail-light-cover-replica-456421/

Yes, I did look through that. It was about 70+ pages I believe? I did use the search feature but I found some really big whale tail spoilers.

From that link that you gave me, I don't think that's the right one. If you look at the 2nd picture very closely, you can see the spoiler wrapping around the body, whereas the RE Amemiya tail light cover does not wrap around and it does not stick out enough.

I dont think you can get it any more. you might be able to have some one make you one....there are threads on this body kit it seems to surface from time to time....

yeah yeah, that's what it was... the first was a top fuel thing... search for that. i'm pretty sure the entire body kit on that car was a one off though. the second one is the RE A cover.

Border makes what most would consider as true "whale tails" very similar to the ones that porsches coined the phrase with. Your referring more to a spoiler than a actual wing.

It may be a one-off, like an Erbruni style or something like that, but point being, it's still an RE Amemiya style tail light finisher

The spoiler on the black car is from a company called ESPIRT; however, i belive they're discontinued. Here's the website ------> http://www.esprit.to/product_info.php?products_id=125

EDIT: Look what i found http://www.esprit.to/product_info.php?products_id=52

I personally like the little factory one. While it is not the best in pictures it looks remarkably good in person.

What is your major malfunction, ********? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?

Great find! Although, I'm looking for one that doesn't cover up the lights. Something that sits flush with the body of the car.
