No oem spoiler for me. If its going to be an option, it'll probably overpriced, heavy and non-functional.

Tag another one for an aftermarket deck lip or a duckbill spoiler!

Mate, look at the car, its nothing like an FT-86 so I doubt the spoiler will look like a completely different car!

I prefer aftermarket wing. If the have a few styles as options, aftermarket will also have them( in carbon and non-carbon) for cheaper price point.

It felt so much less twitchy at the back end when cornering at high speed

I would only get a OEM spoiler, unless you KNOW FOR CERTAIN that much R&D and testing has gone into the spoiler your looking at!

On the ST205 having the spoiler in the higher position, gave, iirc 60kg downforce on the rear axle @ 62mph (100kph) this was documented by Toyota/TTE/TRD when in development/production

I was thinking something along the lines of an APR GTC-200 adjustable wing.


And if you'd like the data: http://www.aprperformance.com/index....sk=view&id=183

I wouldn't mind a functional wing from the factory so long as it doesn't look like the one on the prototype. But, I'd still rather not pay for a non-adjustable wing that I may be switching out later.

something like this would be perfect



Top + Rear Lip = Classy

Mr Jay was talking how the spoiler on the MK2 looks similar to the one on the Grand Am...

Yes that is what I was going to be doing that!!!!!

Looks awesome!! Def want a carbon firber set.

I think Id like to go with a nice functional OEM wing... its never tough to find people that want to trade trunks when you are the one with the wing.

Ahhh gotcha now.... still, if it goes with the cars styling, (And is functional as above) I'm happy, I personally think it seems to look OK in the pictures (on the FT86)

That thing (American car?) looks Fugly! and totally different style between the car and spoiler

Correct, when you sick of the wing you can say swapping boot and i am sure someone will do it!

Which one keeps the ass most settled under heavy braking on track? That's the one I want.

I was just trying to say I didn't like that style spoiler when I saw it on the Gran Am and I still don't like it when I saw it on the FRS worst it made me think of the Gran Am

I'm really a fan of a clean look another reason why I want the toyota/scion since I figure the subie is the one with the larger wing

No wing, clean back.

[lancie]

no wing....!


big wing in italy is called "clothesline"

[4agze]

No wing for me but if Japan TRD will have one that looks good, makes a big difference on stability & brakeing ill get one.
