Yes, it kind of gives it that Honda-esque touch.

Was there no OEM spoiler for the Y34?

Looks good! Maybe a "normal" pic... By the way what is the brand and size/offset of the rims? Keep clicking!

There was an OEM spoiler. 500 dollar option I believe. Could be ordered independently of major option packages.

The rims are Moda 225 20"The color is graphite aka gray. I know the filiters throw it off a bit but damn gold or light green? those are some ugly colors for a car. The bottom of the rear fender was painted the same color as it helps make the car look more 'kitted'i am pleased with the result..

Very clean, but why not paint the side skirts to match the rear paint job?

Painting the side skirts imho will make it look bad. by having the rear painted, and also having the spolier i believe it places more emphasis on the rear helping to create an illusion that this car wants to lunge forward and take off..

Sweet ride. I think the wheels are a great match for the style of the car. I hate to agree with Manix, but I do prefer the OEM-style spoiler though.

my take is loosing the star trek wing and keeping the curves visiable - but to each its own, if i want a huge wing i get my self a suburu rally car ..

why not get a smaller junction prodcue or after market spioler

any way 's i have been told i am rude - clean ride any ways ///

Nice car, the spoiler is a little big for my taste. I have to disagree with you about painting the sides and rear. It reduces how "high" the rear appears. I think it makes a huge difference.

PS you need to drop that sucker!
