Correct, I didnt know a differently styled wing was made for the SC. The one posted on the Supra is definately not the same as the pic of the wing posted on the SC. It doesnt look quite right by the way it hangs over the deck lid.

Thanks for the compliments on the Supra, and no it is not the same car as I posted above it, my Supra is going to stay wingless

I don't think it looks TOO bad, just as long as you got the under skirt piece as well to even it out...



My 2 cents

it would look better if it didn't raise so high out the back.

On the Supra it looks ok, but on the SC I don't like how the edges of the spoiler wrap around the rear quarter panels. THAT'S what makes it look wierd now that I've studied it for a while. It's that overlap that makes it look mismatched. But again, this is just my opinion.

Default whale tail
Just my opinion but I don't think either of the spoilers in this thread look too good on an sc. But to each his own...modding is an individual thing.

I saw the biggest disgrace yesterday. Went to a bar for a friend's birthday last night, another guy in a Soarer V8 rocked up with the Bomex kit, and the BIGGEST GT wing I have seen Each to his own I guess.

reggiek: what kind of front lip is that on your car? looks nice and flows well with the rest of the vehicles body lines.

the only spoiler i would have on my car would be the OEM 92-96 flush spoilers... the rest just don't seem to look right IMO..
