nick_karkie Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 thanks for the opinions guys....very funny....I wanted something different and I like it....each to their own I say....I really dont like the stock spoiler so needed a change and didnt want the TRD spoiler cause its becoming too popular....and by the sound of your response this spoiler will never be a popular one... I am getting the bomex kit on in late march so maybe it will look better in your eyes then....then it will pretty much be the exterior of the fast and the furious car apart from the hood. That film inspired me to get the spoiler....I believe its the same on.....same height...wasnt keen on the shorter one.

nick_karkie Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Adam W.....not making a statement......not trying to stand out too much either cause I am not that type of person....i like it thats why I have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Pilot Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Nick, I personally don't like spoilers like that on ANY car, think they are suited for pure track cars. They are 'real' spoilers(purposefull)...not for cosmetics I will reserve judgement on yours as I think it needs to be seen live..... Those photos you took are not at all flattering(?), especially that rear shot.....I think that rear angle shot exaggerate the height etc of it..... Thank god for nice wheels though.....

nick_karkie Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 yeah it looks way better in the metal, doesnt really look as high as in the pics. I have it purely for cosmetic reasons anyway cause I dont drive fast generally anyway and never fast round corners, I know I got banned but that was for speeding in a 40 ha ha.

nick_karkie Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 i thought u would like them wheels Ibrar:innocent: . People may hate the spoiler but the OAP'S bloody love it.. had this lady about 85 walk past with her dog, she stood behind my car for 2 minutes trying to work out what it was. then this old dude drove past in his OAP buggy, stopped next to my car even tho he was driving on a main road and was trying to work out what the car was. this was my dads reaction to the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Nick if you like it stick with it. It is certainly different, good luck to you. Should look better with the rest of the kit. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes Phil I bought it because I liked it, so I agree with you, so many people have stared at the car in the 2 days I've had it....probably most are of the opinion that this BBS members hold, but I have had more of a positive reaction from people who have seen it and chatted to me about it. Just gotta get the bomex kit on now and the RLTC fitted....thats still sitting at home ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 E-mail me when you get it fitted and I'll sort you out with a good dat file for your RL. Unless you have one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboldham Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 "Spoiler" is the correct word here. Sorry IMO :-) R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOKYO Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 If it floats your boat mate then way to go. Like you said some people will spend thousands to get their pride and joy looked at. You've spent a lot less and probably get more attention . Alternative psychology, like it . Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 i hate it, think its spoiled such a good car you have smart wheels. you like it and that is all that matters. i like the trd one looks different to stock makes it look more sporty. i know they are common now but they do look good. some side skirts and front lip is subtle yet stands out. have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that OAP's are mistaking it for the latest model from Zimma:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 "Excuse me, I think I asked for the large spoiler" Cant say im that keen myself - I reckon the stock wing looks ok, but whatever floats your boat eh?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 yeah the lady tried ripping it off the back so her walk home would be easier:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Am I the only person who can't see the spoiler in the pics - is it small and subtle because I really can't see it? Any then I opened my eyes - whoah!! That's a mighty large spoiler and certainly not my cup of tea at all but if you are going for the F&TF look then you are on the way I guess. http://www.aquiweb.com.br/portalautomotivo/materias/fast_and_furios/toyotaatras1.jpg As you've already said the addition of a full kit should help balance thinks out a lot and the photographs might not be helping the cause that much, probably looks less "rudeboy" in the flesh Sometimes you have to "dare to be different" - I'd say you were the Daredevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
