Spoiler... How the hell?

[PorterzSupra]

I have seen many MKIII supras running with stock MKIIII spoilers, it looks really cool but the mounting surface on the spoiler is curved not flat how do they bolt them to a MKIII? Is there some adaptor plate they use? I have a MKIIII spoiler and my car is in the paint booth right now and I wanna have that spoiler put on but you cant mount a round base to a flat hatch how the heck do they do it!!?? The red one on the front left is a good example (srry if its off topic of tech)

I don't understand, your talking about the 3 peice spoiler right?

 

[wingman]

oh my god so many fugly spoilers, and even lambo doors :runaway:


....but the one in question, the red one in the front. Call me a blind idiot, but he opens his hatch how again?

 

[mkIIIman089]

LOL... maybe it clears it? No, nevermind, thats not right... that guy is just an idiot and he can't open the hatch any more. :biglaugh:

 

[turbo06]

This is random but whats that little shade thing that goes on the hatch. Its called a sunshade or something right. JDM too.....right?

 

[suprahero]

It may not be mounted on the sides. It may be mounted in the middle and/or close to the sides of the hatch. Hopefully he wouldn't mount it on the sides where it wouldn't open.

If your car is at a body shop, mounting a spoiler will be the least of their worries. Trust me, if you want it mounted, they can and will find a way. They may have to hide something with bondo, but it'll get mounted..........Good luck.

Thats great!!! what a dumm ass :nono:

man those MKIV spoilers need to stay on the car they were intended for and nothing else... ive seen an MKI MR2 with one and it is stupid ugly.

hey port don't mind them and as SH said it's a body shop. they know how. i enjoyed the pic too always be unique other wise this business would get real boring real quick.:icon_bigg

I think they look best without.

 

[Stretch]

True, without any spoiler it seems so sleek, almost like the wind rolls off the tail as water rolls down a cliff's edge. BTW mine is spoilerless :icon_bigg

If I can't get my hands on Regulus wing sides to use with my 3pc center, I will run no wing at all.

 

[Stretch]

You want to run regulus sides with a stock centre piece? Or am I misreading it somehow.

[SublimeSupra]

Stretch i too am spoilerless.And i think it gives it a good look :naughty:

 

[supra90turbo]

No. You got it right.
::edit:: sorry, didn't know the pic was this big!

 

[PorterzSupra]

I think the red one in front looks good with that spoiler and its not some cheap spoiler from pepboys its from a 4th gen Supra! he should loose the stickers though

 

[NickSupra]

The stock 89+ spoiler or the whale tail look the best, imo. As for the tall mk4 style wing. It attaches to the hatch, which will still open. If you look a bit closer you will see the pillars. The outside of the spoiler just comes close to the body to give a mounted appearance. Check out some of bomex's stuff.

 

[ValgeKotkas]

The MKIV spoilers shouldn't even be on MKIV... IMO
Though if you like it you can make something to the bottom of the spoiler to match it with the hatch yourself. Like little wings inside or smt. if you understand me :icon_razz

Supra90, can you shrink that picture down so that I can see the whole car? That thing looks sexy as hell. I'm pretty sure it's the same color as mine. Although mine has been painted and it may not be the exact factory color. I love that picture though, but I can't see no further than the back tire.
