Question on my spoiler....

[mrnickleye]

Well, then, NOW, after this interesting debate, and with too much time spent searching, I do concede. It appears spoiler was not part of the sport package.

BUT....I sold vehicles at Toyota (and Dodge) from '97-'00. I ordered cars from the factory with option pkgs, and I ordered them with just certain options, such as just the spoiler. I don't know for sure about the MKIIIs, but perhaps most of the spoilers were ordered 'installed' from the factory by the dealers themselves. The back glass would be the same, as they would not have swapped it out.

This has been a good thread and was well worth the banter, as this has helped me further hone my searching skills, and bookmark some interesting supra sites.

looks like a uk n/a spoiler to me which was standard here as uk cars had really high spec and not many options

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I have learned ALOT. Thanks also for the compliment mrnickleye...it isn't show ready yet! It photographs well haha. I have to say to, Albertmdh that you may be right! Now that you say that, it DOES look like a firebird spoiler. I like how it fits and looks, but I would've never guessed that, but I think you've solved it. Now, should I change it? I think its OK, but I want to do things right with this car. Opinions? Thanks.

change to a 3 piece one :bigun2: :stickpoke

 

[albertmdh]

no way, put the pre 89 one piece on there, closer to what you have now, only right... or keep what you have.

Pre 89 is the ONLY way to go.

 

[grsupra87]

yeah, if I change it, it would have to be pre-89. I've nothing against the three piece, but it doesn't seem right to put it on an earlier model. Thanks for the imput

 

[Jeff Lange]

Bah, of course the 3-piece is fine on an earlier model, it looks fantastic IMO.

How can you say no to this:

 

[grsupra87]

wow, that DOES look nice. hmmmm........

 

[hottscennessey]

in this very rare occasion, I'll have to agree that 3 piece is very nice.. BUT, i've seen many that dont. and just out of personal preferance, they're not my style.

 

[IHI-RHC7]

Jeff, dry your taillights.

 

[shaeff]

Jeff, I'm suprised, you usually got your shit straight, which I really appreciate. But...as IJ said, and here in USA too, spoiler came with the sports pkg. But hey, I love ya anyway!

And hey, grsupra87, that is REALLY a great looking car. I'd bet if the interior and underhood is as nice, you could easily take home the trophy at a show.

i've got an N/A sports package, and never had a spoiler. thank god...

[Jeff Lange]

Jeff, dry your taillights.

Thanks, I'll go out and dry them right now. I don't think they've managed to dry themselves out since I took that pic last year.

 

[albertmdh]

Jeff.. your car... is so fresh and so clean... clean...
