Thumbs up Phoenix's Power Spoiler Painted and Installed

I finally got it from Japan, got it painted and installed. I am so happy with the results. It’s kind of like a Whale Tail. It is made of fiberglass, very light, no negative effect to the operation of the trunk lid. It suits the lines of the SC perfectly.

I had it painted and installed by Sanford Paint and Body for $150.00. They are totally awesome; very personable, and very detail oriented. The fiberglass coat had some blistering occur during the bake process, so they had to sand and paint it over again (for no additional charge). I highly recommend them for any members in Florida who need work done.

Here are a few quick pics.

I love that look! IMO it really sets off the rear of the car.

Beautiful!

It seems kind of long but i guess you'll get use to it.
are you getting the all-around body kit? It may flow a little better w/ the rear spoiler.

Teeman: I am looking at several kits, trying to decide on one. I do like the lower rear portion of the Phoenix's Power kit. But I don't like the front or sides.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Do you have a website where I can look at this stuff? I tried searching but didn't come up with anything.

Billy, I agree w/ you. I didn't like the side skirts for the Phoenix when I saw the internet pics.
But the front and rear of the Phoenix has a more aggressive look.

Did you wanna join the WALD club? hehehe....

I think any kit you decide w/ look nice on that black and the compliment your rims.

great choice Billy. you can't go wrong w/ Tom's. Since the front is more aggressive and sticks out more on the bottom, it will flow w/ the phoenix spoiler in the back. I think your car will actually grow a few inchers longer.

does the tom's kit come w/ the side light markers?

Thanks Teeman, I believe the front spoiler is just the very bottom lip, an add-on piece. I got a new OEM bumpercover from a Toyota dealer for $86.00. I will be attaching the front-lip-spoiler to it and having it painted before it ever goes on the car. The Fog-lights and side markers will be moved from the present bumper-cover to the new modded one.

I really like your car! Wing is very aggressive and unique. First car that I've seen with it on in North america.

You need other body parts to accentuate the curves a bit more tho imo. But you knew that already!

Keep it up, I like the spoiler!
