Question What kind of spoiler is this?

I saw this pic in the picture gallery and I was wondering what kind of spoiler is this?



If anybody has any more links to pictures of this spoiler, please post them. Thanks.

That's a WINRacing Lip Spoiler and I believe that is Brent's car (Bliu).

Definitely Brent's car, although I think he changed the color of the rims. Went from that stealth black to silver.

Does the end of that spoiler line up with the end of the bumper? I'm trying to figure out how far it extends out. And does it have a brake light on it (it kind of looks like it does)? And does anybody know where I can get it? I'm trying to decide between the RMM 1 piece and this one. Thanks.

Hey sam,

This one looks hot!!! I would definately go with this one instead of the RMM...I know...I KNOW..I have the RMM 3-Piece..but this one does look really good!!!and yeah it does look like it has a brake light...I don't really know though where you can get this spoiler but you could always do a search...i know I've heard of people wanting to get the entire kit, so a retailer is bound to come up in a search. Hope this helps!

Danny

It doesn't have a brakelight in it.... And whatever you do don't get a RMM anything.... If you like that spoiler just get the OEM one.... Or the WINN... I like it myself...

Default RMM Spoiler

mesypher that's kinda harsh about RMM. I have my one piece and it was just fine. AND I actually like the look better than the stock spoiler. When you put the 2 side by side you can see there is a difference and the RMM is a little more aggressive. Besides, the stock spoiler will cost alot more.


Sam, ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT THING...do not get a SPORTWING OEM style spoiler. It is true that it is OEM style, but it is about 10% smaller than stock, so when you look at it from the rear it will go from trunk edge to trunk edge, not 1/4 panel to 1/4 panel. It's very inexpensive (maybe cheap from a quality standpoint too), but it is not the "correct" look.

Thanks Johnny. Always helpful as usual.

I'd like to see more pics of Brent's car from other angles. If anybody has any links or any pics, please share them. Thanks.

LexusL, I just spoke to a guy named David over at GTAutosports.com. He said they can get the original WIN Racing rear spoiler for over $600 from Japan but he can get an exact replica made also of fiberglass by a company called Han for $274.

I'm also waiting on a reply to an email I sent to Steve G to see if he can get it.

I'm still trying to choose between this one and the RMM 1 piece that looks like the stock spoiler. Now that the prices are almost the same, it makes the decision harder.

yep, exactly what Swifty said. I asked about this operation a few months back and heard about nothing but headaches and BS from this guy.

And on the spoiler, take mine and mrsypher's word on this....go with the Win Racing product. RMM=headache for myself and many others Besides, the Win spoiler has more of a cool JDM look to it IMO.
