Default What's this spoiler?

Can any of you please help me identify this spoiler on the trunk:



I've currently got the high level hoop type spoiler that came standard but I'd really like to get the car like the one in this pic if it's still available.

I've been through some threads and they're either the three piece spoiler, or the longer one piece that hangs over both sides when the trunk is open. Most of the cars either seem to have the same hoop spoiler I've got or none at all!

That spoiler is exactly like I used to have on my IS and I'd like to get similar for the GS if it's still being made?

Thanks in advance

I can see I'm going to have to compare the trunk size with the IS now in case it actually is

This was the one on my IS:

The mufflers were taken from a GS430 HKS Hiper system and it was custom pipework back to the cat, with the silencer removed

It sounded nice!



The exhausts on my Aristo are bigger still:



My neighbours must have loved me when they saw that turn up

Thanks fella, the TTE does look very similar but seems to protude more than the one in the pic of the blue car.

As a matter of interest a friend has measured up his IS lip spoiler which is the same as you see on my IS and I'm going to measure the GS trunk to see if it's something they've done with one of those?

i reckon it is most likely made by a japanese a/m bodykit company... im sure ive seen one like that before. you need to browse some of the bodykit manufacturers from japan

it looks similar to the vertex but i dont think its quite the same:

also similar to Aimgain though thats a bit wider looking:

also K-Break looks quite similar too:

It does look like the IS lip, it's probably just been retrofitted to fit the GS?...

nah i dont reckon, see the links i posted, a lot of companies do similar ones so itll be out there somewhere.

also there are random bodywork companies on yahoo japan etc that do wings and kits etc so it could even be like a yahoo japan ebay equivalent type vendor!

Looking at the import documentation it says something about SKP Aero Parts so assume that may be it then as I don't see any front or rear bumper spoilers?

That Vertex one is lovely Ant!
