Question Opinions on this mod - What do you think (pic)

I was thinking of having a body shop mold the Toyota Supra rear brake light into the Wings West flush mount spoiler. I think it looks pretty nice. My photo editing skills suck, but you get the idea.


Any thoughts? BTW, thanks VDo for the picture. Hope you don't mind.

Not sure... but you might run into depth problems. If it's not flush mounted it'd look tard. But, if the measurements work... sure.

That's a good idea. I was planning on doing the same thing, but with a longer (36") led stick that I have. But like Closer said, if it's not done right, it might look getto.

Yeah that's actually where I got the idea from. I figure if it gets totally fvcked up, I'm only out a spoiler, not a trunk lid.

Neil, looks good and i say go for it. Did you ever think of putting a longer light in? I think the light from the Cadillac Seville might work. Im not sure on the lenght though. Oh well, just an idea.
