Default High/Medium spoliers

Growing up I've always been infatuated with the Toyota Supra's..... I just picked up a 2010 rwd mt. I know its not a work horse like the 350 or the isf, but I'm more then happy with it. Going back to the subject.. I WANT a medium/high wing that doesnt look too tacky. I havent found anything other then the oem ones (which looks good but not my preference) Can anyone come up with any suggestions to fill this void in my heart? Fyi its my first post and I've been reading every thread religuously.

congrats and welcome to CL!

there aren't many people that i've seen around here that have an aftermarket wing/spoiler besides HKS350.

If someone could outfit the Ben Sopra GTR rear wing onto our cars, that would be sick.


That or the Rocket Bunny FRS

or maybe check voltex if they make wings for our cars

I wish i could pull off the giant wing, too, actually. If i didnt have a molded wald trunk, i'd give it a shot. I really liked it on HKS350's car, it worked well with his fender flares and his overall stance. Bagged with a giant wing screams "my car's confused" if i did it hahaha.

HKS350's wing works as the overall look screams race car.

Just slapping a big wing like that on the IS looks tacky without all the supporting mods in my opinion. But hey, if that is what you like, who cares what anyone else says. As long as you are happy with it.

Molded wald spoiler I think is about the closest you can get to something relatively medium height as the boot lip spoilers don't really raise up that much.

I agree, I would go with a Wald spoiler. The huge wings looks really tacky IMO

Please don't do that. Only high HP cars deserve to rock that thing. I'd laugh at you. Only HKS350 coil have pulled that off an be has since removed it.

Thank-you for the warm welcomes and replies. If I can't find anything that I'm looking for.. I will probally end up getting the factory oem one. But Maybe you guys can help me find out what this is. (i found from googling)

I'm curious as to what the folks here come up with. I am not a fan of the "bookshelf" wing but do think that the obvious choices for spoilers for our cars are far too subtle....

hopefully you have a minimum of 300whp to have a wing like that.

A huge wing would look terrible.

Stick to the usual and get the loudest subtle trunk spoiler, Wald
