I'm a big fan of the OEM spoiler, but my foam piece recently cracked and created rusts on the fastback itself. Is there any recommended spoiler replacement that maintains the look of factory? I'm not crazy about off the wall spoiler looks...I really want to maintain its original look. But there isn't any OEM spoilers out there that's in good condition either. Any suggestions?

Now the GP Sport 3 piece is what I want. How do I get my hands on this replica? What am I looking at spending? Any leads?

i got mine off a user named bomex something bomexs13? from this forum. I guess he had a groupbuy running here but it got locked because he's selling replicas. He has some auctions floating around ebay.

Too bad my hatch has a problem, one side is lower or seems shifted, anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Probably locked because the selller wasn't a sponsor. Sponsor's pay good money to advertise on NICO and it's not fair to them to be selling goods in large quantities without paying the same as they are.

As for the replica, I wish we *would*have a sponsor here who would carry one. I'm sorry, but I think the GP Sports version, while nice looking is waaaay overpriced. The cost of importing it and the extra $$$ thrown in for "JDM-ness" don't justify the $400+ price. It's a nice clean spoiler, but not exactly a revolutionary design.

I'd buy it at $250, but certainly not $400. There's a reason why you don't see too many people with the real deal.

I too am looking into alternatives, as my foam spoiler also cracked and the crack is getting bigger. Maybe I'll get the foam spoiler again...

From that other thread...

Does anyone know what the spoiler on the flat black fastback is? I think it looks awesome.

No I havn't put it on yet. Body work/paint is going to happen this winter sometime, maybe early spring. I just need to find a new hatch.
