Question Who did this? ('vert question)

Hey, the spoiler in the pic below appears to be a Mazda tII spoiler mounted onto a vert. Does anyone know who's car this is?
If it's possible to modify a factory one to fit, I might do it to mine. Otherwise, most of the spoilers on verts seem a little too fast'n furious for my taste...

I don't know, It looks like it would work. maybe without any modification. I haven't gotten real close to a TII spoiler in a while.

MUSTANGISH

the t2 spoiler mounted to the flat trunk of the vert looks a little too 80's Mustang 5.0 for my likings. I like the original lines of the vert. its sweet

I think verts definitely need a wing of some kind, otherwise they look too much like a longer miata.

I have seen the t2 wing used, and it looks okay I guess, but not really my taste. You need to make a couple of cuts in it, and do a little reworking, so you can still use the trunk.

I would look for something off, say, an early 90's 240sx, etc. Flat, slightly raised, wide as the car. Lots of diferent wings would fit the bill, just make a trip to the junkyard.

I went with teh 3kgt wing because it tilts identical to the body lines of the car..looks like it was made for it.

Call me insane, but I've tried putting a 3rd gen F-body spoiler ('82 Firebird to be exact) on mine and they don't look half bad, and the fit isn't too bad either, although you'll have to readjust the position of the antenna (spoiler covers the hole where it's supposed to be).

I agree

For my car I wanted a wing that looked like it could have came from the factory. The wing I chose has common 1990s look to it (what I wanted) Also remember, you’ll need a wing that will clear the antenna.

Wow, that's a beautiful 'vert! What size wheels are those, 18"s?

That spoiler looks sweet, too!

I think the 240 route is the best.
There are a ton of after market wings out there for them and they are cheap too. I was looking for a whale tale kinda looking spoiler. Anyone seen s13s with these style spoilers on. They look good.

RX-Heven, you already know how much I like your spoiler, you should tell me what it came off of originally,
You could PM me, I won't tell anyone

BTW, your first post is just red x's on my screen...

Holy ****... that almost looks like a NSX!!!

That is a sweet wing for the vert, IMO.

Lowering it REALLY REALLY helps, in addition to the big wheels

The 3kGT wing does look like it was made to fit on a vert. Thanks Kevin!
