Hey what do you guys think of this spoiler?

[Infinitiguy19]

Hey I found this spoiler while browsing Yahoo auctions in Japan:

What do you think, i mean you could possibly paint over the 3rd brake light so it won't stick out to much just like people "black out there lights".

I don't think it ruins the back of the G50 and its get rid of the rear parcel shelf mounted brake light.

From the picture though it looks like the light is mounted in the trunk, but the spoiler may be functional.

Click on it to make it bigger.

[BLACKonBLACK98]

i like it. very subtle.

[unknown007]

Looks good but I dunno?

[MinisterofDOOM]

I don't dislike it, but it's kind of...TOO subtle. It's so tiny it's almost not worth bothering with. I doubt it has an genuine aerodynamic value like the OEM spoiler has.

I'm more interested in that trunk-mounted CHMSL.

[Infinitiguy19]

Eh that's more simple, drill a hole and mount a Q45t spoiler light.

Probably not that easy but, not impossible.

Are we getting bleed over from the VIP Forum?

Looks good paul......subtle yet effective I think.........Lets take her to 180 so we can see

[Johnny Rocket]

How much is it?

You trying to say take it to VIP section?If so again it's not VIP it's just a mod.

I dont really like it.. Especially knowing that the one that was made for the car is WAY more effective and also looks better IMO!

Wow, those damn engineers again choosing proven function over questionable aesthetics!

[BLACKonBLACK98]

proven performance huh? i'd love to hear more about it.

[Infinitiguy19]

No he is right, the Q45t spoiler give you a drag coefficient of .27 if i remember correctly.

But I would do a search to see for your self.

No calling me stupid or as Q45tech says "Idiotic"

[TgduMg]

I like it, because it is more subtle than the G50 Touring spoiler. It's meatier than a true M3 style spoiler though. I definitely prefer it to the Stillen spoiler.

Comparing the 90-96 Q45t OEM vs Aimgain rear lip design to the (F)Y33, The 97-98 OEM Q-lip is more in line with the OEM 90-96 style. While the 99-01 OEM rear lip, like the Aimgain G50 lip is more subtle.

Though the Kouki rear lip spoiler for the G50 is a few years late, if someone wants to spend the bucks it's their option.

Are we getting bleed over from the VIP Forum?

I'm pretty confident that the Aimgain lip could be installed without the need of any severe rear wheel camber.

I like it, a lot. ... would be a great addition to the Q45 to sort of give me a refreshment of looking at it.

But @ 150MPH it may just slow me down a slight bit so I don't know.

I have to be honest:I don't spend enough time at 150mph to care if my spoiler slows me down.

[Jesda]

I think its tidy and pleasant.

neah not something i would rock but every was there own oppinion
