wtf are you talking about?

do you have a pic of the spoiler you want? If not, there's litterally hundreds of wings you can put on a vert...

I believe the "Star Wars" vert has a Super Made Instant Gentleman spoiler.

Most of the Super Made stuff is pretty cool.

ROFL, star wars vert, hahaha. Ok, I'll be helpful then.

Ok, well, you can actually get that wing from one of our sponsors, Rare Trick. He's running a special on these right now, better get in on it bcs it's hard as **** to get these in from Japan otherwise...

His profile: TheMadScientist

P.S. when did they start calling the kouki vert the star wars vert?

**EDIT, I'm pretty sure this is the same madscientist that does the rare trick group buys, haha, i could be wrong... but yea, rare trick is the one running the super made gb rite now.\

The Super Made spoiler is $248 through him.

Be sure to pick up the sweet headlight kit while you're at it:

Agreed. I've bought a couple of Super Made products and quality is not there. They look good from the pictures and all, but if you actually look at them in person, quality is not as good as what you expect.

I paid a lot for mine and had to do extensive work to even get them to fit (not to mention you have to cut the core support to actually fit lights into the housings). The lids are worthless they are so wavy there is no way to make them look right without just replacing them with sheetmetal or another flat surface, the way they mount stock is horrible and bounces a lot... honestly I wish I would have just made my own to start with, I have almost as much time into those ones as I would just starting from scratch.

Me too. They're too expensive, anyway.

I'm trying to figure out how to get Hella 90mm halogen modules into the stock flip ups, and then shorten the height of the flip ups. This is similar to the swap that clearcorners wants people to sign over their firstborn for.

I posted these in 240 gen chat before. What do you think? I really like the pop up headlights.They come up just about right. Stock ones come up way too high. It's All*Round headlights. Not sure if they are still available and about their quality though. If you search hard, you might be able to find a set.

Some of those are definitely cool looking, but the pop-ups seem to point down too much and the fixed headlights might not be able to point down enough. Still around $500, too :/

Hmmm, for those who had problems with the fitment of their SuperMade parts... can you confirm that you got real SuperMade parts, or did you get the stuff off someone from the internet who said they were SuperMade parts? I'm very curious.

Malac0da13,Thanks for the pictures. Not bad at all. Did you do it yourself? It looks way better than those flimsy fiberglass/plastic flush headlight kit.

Maybe you can use this to control it. You can go back to stock anytime if you want.

Oh! What I mean was just set the controller to the desired height, leave it that way and hide the controller somewhere. It's only $50 and cutting and welding sound tough to me.

This guy made a module, but I have no idea what he's talking about. too deep for me.http://www.dslextreme.com/user....html

Anyway, any vibration? What lights did you use? I'm sure many people in 240 gen chat want to see your work.

they use H7 bulbs...not really any vibration...cutting and welding wasnt that challanging most of the work was figuring out how much to cut off but i already figured that out...i bought the black piece with the lights already in it...if i had the time i would make my own with real hids from like and acura or sumptin that have the low and high in one ballast and put a small turn signal next to it

If you figure that out, let me know. I can get junkyard headlights Hella cheap (pun intended).

90mm Hella Bi-Xenons are $500+ each, so that option's right out.

This is where mine are at so far, I'm going to be welding on some "eyelids" onto the hood and blending them in with the hood to cover up the actual lights as well as cutting the core support to mount the lights further back (and mounted them to the core support). There is still a lot of work to be done. The lights are Sylvania Xenarc HID's.

Oh!! Didn't know it was yours. I recognize your car from Galvestone meet picture. I saved a pic of your car in my computer long time back. Did you mold the headlights to the bumper?



This car was in 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon. Maybe URAS makes a set too.

Back to the topic of spoilers, does anyone have a vert with a Wangan wing? Slownslurious? If so, got any pics? I'm thinking a black Wangan would look good along with a black Xenon lip. I'm not in love with the stock vert spoiler.
