Anyone have this on their car or know where I can find better pictures? I'm torn betweeen this and the mintblue now, it's looking like the mint will win but I'd really like to see if this is out there in a better picture. Thanks!
(p.s. the search button really works sometimes :D: )
thanks a bunches for any help/advice/criticism/whatever

RA-Eight 02-21-2007, 09:16 AM I was going to say to check out Wolverine's thread, but that's probably where you got it from. A few more at japan parts. It's a nice wing, would you go with CF?

it all depends, if I did the Mint I'd probably get it painted to match, this one however might actually work in cf, but I'd have to see better pictures to really know. Doesn't appear to be a very popular item, as I've not seen it on very many cars at all save for the pic I posted, which is from the re amemiya site anyway.

wow, that's really helpful! :rolleyes: spoiler, wing, whatever, all I'm trying to find is better pictures to help me decide before I go off and spend hundreds of dollars, wait 2 months since it's coming from Japan etc etc. I really don't care what it's called, just where there's better pics of it. ;)
NgoRX8 02-21-2007, 06:20 PM i don't think there are any pics as no one on the forum is known to have it. People usually go for something they can easily get or a replica (ings or mintblue). i was close to ordering this back 9 months ago, but didn't.
RA-Eight 02-21-2007, 11:01 PM Yep, I'm sure if someone's got it, it's a thread in big bold letters. Especially since people around here create new threads just to show off their new STRAKES.
Canary - You can be the first! (at least here in the states!)

dang, now it's even more tempting as it is cheaper than the mintblue and nobody has it, plus it's from the rotary maestro lol I'll have to think about thios today, maybe I'll give lazi a ring this afternoon with my final decision. :)
RA-Eight 02-22-2007, 12:10 PM Just do it! :)

A spoiler can be elevated above the trunk lid too. What makes a wing a "wing" is that it has an airfoil shape (in cross-section) like an airplane wing... except, of course, flipped upside down to create downforce instead of lift.
Anyway, back on topic. I really like that RE spoiler, I say go for it!
rotarydrifter 03-07-2009, 02:22 PM canary did u ever end up getting that mintblue spoiler?
mscamp02 03-08-2009, 11:04 AM First time Ive ever seen that spoiler, I really dig lips but I dont think you should get it in cf, paint it to match
Rotr8 03-08-2009, 11:48 AM The one pictured above is the RE Amemiya lip spoiler,,,
it can be found @ japanparts.com

I think this is the same spoiler but I'm not sure, you may want to contact him for more pics
Rotr8 03-08-2009, 08:17 PM ^^^ no thats the Ings+1
mscamp02 03-09-2009, 06:26 AM well in that case I say go ings
Rotr8 03-09-2009, 06:28 AM this thread is over two years old I doubt they havent already made up thier mind by now...
