Huh? I've seen rear trunk deck spoilers, but I've never seen a rear glass spoiler for an ES. Where could I see one of these things?

There aren't any... or else I probably would have got it a long time ago.

I think "skperformance" is trying to customize one for his car...

Damn yo ! I think we have some same tastes !!! Exept for rims maybe...I cant wait for the temperature to be warm up here (Canada) so I can tint my windows (5%) cuze for now I got to use defrost option...I am going to replace a bushing (have to change the whole bar) that is finished and change my brake pads next week. I ll by my lowering TEIN coils when I am going to do my paint retouches so that I can put my new Giovanna wheels on for the next season ! For now I only have a 15 inch Audiobahn sub pushing in the truck for great bass, completing factory sound for now...TV s is up to come...

Damn...no rear glass wing....GS is taking everything from ES..

a roof spoiler would be very sweet for the ES, especially to compliment the rear spoiler on the trunk. I have been doing extensive searches for such a sacred item. The closest I found was 1 roof spoiler for a 97-01 ES. This one was much larger that the L-sportline one for the GS. Actually to the point where it reminds me of the old rear window louvre on a late 80s Celica Supra. It was pictures/obtainable from a yahoo shopping site but I don't have that link anymore.

Several JDM parts people are looking for this item in far off lands. Haven't heard anything yet.

I have emailed at least 1/2 a dozen spoiler shops, (spoilerdepot.com, spoilers4u.com, etc.) but no luck there either.

actually Alan, it doesn't. When you come into that website from the front door, the roor spoiler was only listed in the 97-01 ES. I actually called the phone number listed a while back and customer service verified that is is the 2nd gen ES only.

They were going to look into a roof spoiler for the 3rd gen. but never got back to me.

Maybe I'm blind, but I went all around this website and I didn't see anything about the year ES's this thing fits. Also, how are these rear window blinds installed on the car......do you have to drill holes into the roof?
