Spoilers

Hey,

Does anyone have pics of their cars with a custom spoiler? I don't like the factory spoilers. I need help selecting a nice spoiler for my car.

The guy you are talking about is oulaw. I don't think he comes on anymore because he sold his TL for some kind of truck.

From what I recall, it didn't fare too well.

Reno, how are you going to ask for a pic of a custom spoiler to help you decide on a spoiler? its custom, unless you know someone who can custom you a spoiler.

I personally dont like spoiler...but if you must go with a M3 trunk lip...it looks a hell of alot cleaner and doesnt look to ricey...but then again that ugly word "custom" pokes its head out again, cuz they dont make one for our cars you'd have to buy one and get it chopped up at a body shit to make it fit. Thats what im gonna do soon as i get some "fuck-off" money.

I had went to a website, forgot which one, and they were selling 97' Camry spoilers for the TL. I called the company and they said that those spoilers fit fine. Thing is they just didn't have a picture of that spoiler on a TL so I wasn't sure as to how it would look. I live in ATLanta and have seen 2 TL's on the expressway with aftermarket spoilers and they looked HOT. Unfortunately I was unable to stop either of the two to see where they got their spoilers from.

Got it on eBay...made for BMW's. It's made of ABS plastic. Just measure your trunk and decide how long you want it to be (I wish I made mine hang over and go all the way to the body line on either side of the trunklid). Then, just email the seller and find out how long it is. Usually they have several lengths, so ask for one that's closest to what u want. I gave mine to the body shop and they painted it and it sticks right onto the lid with 3m tape, so I can take it off whenever I want.

TLBaller, that spoiler is really nice...mine was made for I think an E34..but I could be wrong..that eBay Carbon Fiber one would be hot on a black or white car..hell, nice on any car really. I dont think it is too tacky.

There's a fine line between a spoiler that offers a smooth look, and one that makes the whole car look tacky.

I like HQuakers'
