Question Who makes this spoiler?

I'm convinced the spoiler on this M-Sport FD (w/ Panspeed rear quarter flares) is quite diff from the RE JGTC spoiler...if you look closely back and forth between the two (Chuck has detailed pics of his copy on his website: http://www.rotaryextreme.com/gtwing.html. The brackets are diff, the endplates are diff, although the overall design scheme is very similar. It looks to be a bit less wide as well...

Anyone know what spoiler they're running, or who makes it?

Thanks

****, in December, I'll be knee-deep in a puddle of **** during the academy. Oh well. And my new ride is great. I love being able to go through the drive-thru and I am getting 25-30mpg. Somethings I couldn't do in the FD.

That's not Rice-A-Roni, it's Uncle Ben's.

But seriously though, looks like an RE GT2:

Ouch, size 9? You know what they say... I feel bad for your girlfriend/wife.


In anycase, I have whored up Ramy's thread enough. Back to the s2k forum for me, it's kinda boring though since we never have problems with our cars.


Also, I will seriously help you make those lights. I told you that. Get the parts and we will get it done.

Wow...this seems to be the "lets have fun" thread, doesn't it? I don't care if it said "Chef Boyardee" on it lol I still think it's hot.

But seriously though, looks like an RE GT2:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=380819
I've seen the RE GT spoiler in person before, and it's def diff. from what I can make out of the M-Sport pics. The RE spoiler has a real large around curvature to it, very large area, and is VERY wide. Like it sticks out past the edge of the car a few inches. But then again, there's only so much I can make out from the angle of the M-sport pics...

*BTW, you got my PMs OK now, ya?
Yes I sure did

Yea I PMed Jeff and left my cell the weekend of JGTC last year, and he knew I was comin for like 6 months lol. Come that weekend, nothing.

If I see you @ SS8, I'm going to put my size 9 shoe where the sun don't shine!
SS8...hmm...I may try and make it out to that.

Size 9 shoe? Damn son...you 5'6?

Now get off my thread so someone can actually squeeze an on-topic post in

So Mahjik I take it you think it's the same spoiler as the RE one as well? Am I the only one who thinks it's different?

I think this spoiler by VIS looks a lot more like the M-Sport one...

RE-A, C-West, and a few others all have GT wings that are very similar except for a few minor differences (which the others copied.. nothing wrong with that). The basic over all shape of them are the same.

I know I know I talked to the M-Sports distributor in the US, and he has no idea...it's not listed in the parts available. So I asked him to contact Mac Co Ltd, which is the company that's taken on production of the M-Sports parts now (yea I've done my homework lol). We'll see what he can come up with. The VIS one would be my next choice, but theirs doesn't look to be adjustable (and I'm not fond of the stands in the middle...but eh, adjustability is my priority)

I think the wing might be a Car Modify Wonder GT Wing. If you visit there website, you'll see it here:

http://homepage3.nifty.com/wonder-wonder/wonder_005.htm

The one on their website is slightly different than the one you posted here. The end plates are a little different and the spacing of the stands are a little off, but the stands are identical to the one you posted.

The orange FD on their website is the same car as the one you posted, since they sponser that car, except the one you posted is a newer version (2004 D1 GP car) of it with MSport kit and a new wing. I'm pretty sure that wing is made by them. You might want to check with Chuck or try Bulletproof Automotive, supposedly that can import just about anything for you.

goodluck finding the wing. post some pictures if you ever get it.

The pic is indeed crappy lol and the car looks a bit diff too (looks like a C-west rear, and it says Alpine on the rear vs. Oberon on the one I posted). But like you said, the one I posted is the newer version. How many orange FDs can there be out there? Plus you're right, the pics I posted have "Wonder" written in HUGE letters on the car. Wow...you got me all excited now lol. I'm gonna follow this up. I really hope you're right. Their list price is 118,000 yen, which is about $1091.73 I'm saving up as we speak THANKS A BUNCH

EDIT: Now that you told me who the sponsor is, I figured out what the web address on the back of the FD said: http://www.carmodify-wonder.com/ And sure enough, that took me to the homepage that has the page you linked me to (it has a diff URL...so I didn't know it's the same). Right smack on the homepage, it has a pic of the orange FD on the bottom left, labeled "Nander." Click on it, and it says they're sponsors of Mac, who's the company currently making the M-sport stuff

Also, it says "Team Orange"....this isn't the same team orange for D1, is it? The one who's orange Sylvia won D1 here at JGTC/D1 last December, against the Apexi FD?
