Hey guys,

I'm looking for a low spoiler to match my paint (Titanium Gray). Nothing to radical but nothing too boring either. Does anybody have any good ideas? Low wings are welcome too.

Thanks.

ha,,, summertime must make people want new spoilers. I just suggested the one I have in a simular post yesterday...anyway I have the Holden Monaro(GTO) factory wing on mine and I love it. Its the same height as the factory wing with a little extra flare to it. There are several people on here who have it. I got it off Ebay for $50, and the paint matching really comes down to how good your paint and body shop is...

yeah i saw a monaro wing on chrism's old car and he had a sick paint job done on it. i really do like the wing, but it's a little more flare than what i'm looking for. i do like the flare down the side of the trunk, but just not that much. is there anything similar?
thanks.

you could always go with the Mazdaspeed spoiler and make some custom stancions that are lower???the Odula wing is a real hot wing its a GT style made just for the 8 but is about factory hieght, or the Tifaria Ver.2 its also rare Ive only seen 1 or 2 on here...

hey rotr8. howd you get that third brake light off?!

removing the light assembly is quit easy, remove the carpet and I think its only two nuts,,, after that had to weld a plate in the hole and backfill, smooth over, sand and paint, whaola,,, clean and sexy....

Does the Holden Monaro(GTO) factory wing align with the original trunk holes?


Edit: Nevermind, found it in another thread.

i'm pretty sure it doesn't. you have to get new holes drilled and the old ones filled. i'm fairly sure that's correct.

yup that is correct new holes, 4 of them,,, each stand of the wing has two plugs each for attatchment points...

Ebay $50-$80 is where I got mine... yes that cheap, only becasue it is indeed a factory wing,,, search for GTO wing on Ebay if you need a specific seller PM me and I'll guide you to where I got mine and suggested to others...

yeap. $55 sell price, and what happen then is horrible, I don't want to think about it. Chrism, you sold for 150 not bad. I think you spent 300 at least.

might be a stupid suggestion or inquiry, but how would this spoiler look on the 8? http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/imag/180SXtypexwing.jpg

Buy an 09 R3 Wing

update:

i bought chrism's slick old monaro wing. it's going to have a unique paint job--thanks to chrism. however, the man painting has a busted machine and for some reason it only seems to hate me (well it's just not mixing titanium gray correctly). so the install has been delayed, otherwise, pics would be up already. we'll see if we can speedy things along. and hammer, if i had the cash, i might just have bought an r3 wing. it's a little different than factory and yet slick.

you still havent gotten it back?.....i know his computer keeps spitting out green paint for ti-gray but i thought it was fixed......he mixed my blue properly for the parts i got there.....when you picking it up?....i might be going on friday if you wanna meet up

endowdly
07-22-2008, 02:37 PM
nah. he said he keeps having problems with it and he's waiting for a call from his machine reps i guess. i'm gonna give him a call in about five minutes and tell him to just pick up the paint and i'll pay for it. i can't wait any longer to get this wing on. i can't make friday man, lo siento. i have to be back in the woods for some stupid training (hence the reason i'm gonna try to speed this up by getting the paint separately).

update: i called kenny and had him order the paint for me. he figures he'll be done friday. i rechecked the schedule and i was wrong... i don't have to be in the woods until saturday. so i'll shoot for an install on friday! what time will you be around the shop, chrism?

chrism
07-23-2008, 10:07 AM
