Any good looking spoilers to replace foam one on hatchbacks?

[nightheron]

Has anyone found any good looking spoilers to replace the original one on a S13 hatchback. Hopefully one that hides where the old bolt holes are somewhat?

[badbob2121]

no, just fill them...

stock hatch body + spoiler = Fugly

IMO

the only one that looks semi good sometimes is OEM type X, and you pretty much have to have the rest of the Type X kit to pull that off.

theres some subtle wings out there that can be just fine with the stock body or subtle aero, not everything has to be all out

Repair your holes from old spoiler and repaint your hatch the same color as the rest of your body!! Dont put a spoiler, even the 180sx Type X wing looks gay! Unless your pushing more than 400whp you dont ever need a wing!! Lol i love when you see those stupid teenagers with the wanna be import car (like a chevy caviler) with a ten foot wing on them!! HAHAHAHA that makes me smile!! Gives peace of mind that there are still some really dumb a** people in this country!! ..... NOT!

nobody's saying anything about going ricey, wings arent about need always, its ok to want one for looks

i like oem. hence my trunk and spoiler dont even match my car.(white trunk,black spoiler) off 2 different cars. but the type x wing on a hatch looks nice to me though.

The foam spoiler CAN look cool.


But chances are, it won't.

[laxands13]

Even if it does look good, theres still rust problems. i'm in GA and i still have some rust on mine ^^

If you're going to be throwing out the dumbass card at least try to get your own facts right. Yes there are plenty of people who put huge completely non functional wings on riced out cars and yes that is stupid. But to say that you don't ever need a wing unless you have 400whp is just as ignorant. Lower powered fwd cars get used for motorsports quite often, mostly in racing that requires cars to go around CORNERS *gasp* I know your idea of racing is probably limited to straight line pulls down the highway against you buddy's civic, so I'll forgive you for not knowing anything about legitimate forms of motorsport. These types of cars (real race cars) with all the weight of the engine and drivetrain over the front wheels, tend to be very light at the rear. This is where you need a wing to push the back of the car down to keep you from coming out of every corner backwards. So it really has nothing to do with the power of the car at all. Think it over.

apologies to the OP [/endthreadjack]

i like the wangan wings... but looks ghey unless u have alot of aero; and im not one who gets into that stuff so

My car with it's stock foam spoiler... I think looks fine. BUT THAT THING WEIGHS A TON and is shaped wrong.. doesn't make downforce so much as it makes drag. Which is why I'm replacing it with quoted wangan spoiler from ebay....


Back when it was stock...



Plus you can see where it's been damaged from my old bike rack. 3 bikes on a rack attached to the car by straps attached to the spoiler works fine till you hit large railroad tracks... EPIC FAIL!! lmao


And what a wangan looks like on a grey hatch with otherwise STOCK body.


And on a BAD a** machine. (my cars role model...)


This one looks good too IMO

[SirSilvia]

eh.. that would look 1,000,000x better with the original 3rd brake light shaved. look redundant to have one there and on the spoiler

[amolao]

Wangan style - only works with the right combos

subtle ones to look into:
Type X and/or rocket bunny

[matt_240sx]

I would go Type-X or no wing at all.

[Razi]

GP Sports one looks nice as well.

[breadbox]

Razi is on to something.

[ash16847]

I don't think my spoiler's too bad. i don't know what it is but I'd like to know lol.





sorry if pics are too big.

[angelscrx]

I like the wangan too but decided to go spoiler less with the aero that i have. So I have one for sale if you are interested?

[carlos15]

Dude the best spoiler ive ever seen is yours... hands down. Is that the "rocket bunny" or whatever that is?

[amolao]

Ken Style wing....(discontinued)

[breadbox]

I like my old school Xenon wing without the side pieces.

[SoCal-S13]

i have this one. rare s13 SE




for sale too.

[nightheron]

Are you selling the spoiler or the car? What brand spoiler is it? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

[SoCal-S13]

lol. its an oem foam wing you were just hatin on. and the wing is for sale. rare S13 SE Wing

[nightheron]

In the picture the wing looks like it is raised up off the car. The main thing I don't like about the stock one on my car is that it sits flat on the hatchback and traps dirt and water, bad combination.

[SoCal-S13]

you can fit your hand in the gap. its not a flush mounted wing
