What looks best?

None.

What would look alright?

Something stockish like the spoiler on the tt Z32. I know I've seen something like that on the fastback, but don't remember who made it. Maybe Kaminari or Erebuni?

You decide what looks best. If you want a 3 foot aluminum spoiler go for it.

If you're building a car for everyone else's tastes then don't be so considerate... you're the one that has to look at it every day.

yeah, as much as I dislike the "show" peeps with all body work, and nothing to back it up, you gotta build that car for yourself, unless its your business, like SIGNAL Auto in california and japan..otherwise just get what you want, and be heppy with it

me? I'm getting a GP sports integrated kit for my s13 h/b...but its gonna be a WHILE bore the body gets donesleepers rule

but how much of a sleeper invests in VOLK racing wheels and pirelli Pzero tires?

:p-chet

None - Car looks sharp as-is.

I've always liked when someone just does a wheel/tire upgrade, and their car is in perfect condition... Very appealing.

Well, I agree with AZ for the most part. I think the car's gorgeous from the factory, wouldn't do too much to alter the look. I'm just planning to get a PDM rear valance and Side skirts (they flow alongside the factory lines beautifully). If I wanted to be a little daring though, I would add some Jun Over-fenders, because those on top of some fatass wheels is just beautiful. As for what kind of spoiler, I think the nicest one for the fastback has gotta be the bomex type 9 spoiler.

I personally wouldn't put any wing on it, you have a nice looking car. But it's your opinion that counts here, not mine.

nah man, dont put a spoiler on your car yet, its not ready for one at least lower it first and grab up some rims then look at a spoiler. That way it would be kind of proportional. But by all means if you want to get a spoiler now and that makes you content, then go for it bro. So i guess like someone said, a stockish spoiler would really be then only way to go w/ the rest of your car stock apperence, but it is very clean cut 240. i like it!

I personally like the sweeping smooth and undistraced rear end of the 240SX fastback... But I do think that the boxier less gradual rear end of the coupe could use a lower profile spoiler.

i dig the "drift-style" wings.......which basically look like the stock one(fastback) except drawn out further. i'd post a pic but too lazy to look for it.

i like the whale-tail spoilers, but on a car with stock suspension and rims would look really cheesy.

check out this movie http://force.chat-jp.com/movie/dri_59.wmv . i thought those black spoilers looked pretty okay. how convenient that he has a 180 your color! silver aluminum spoilers look pretty dumb imho though. and i'd definately take care of the suspension first, or as they keep sayin, it'll look really cheesey and ricey. as for rims, i have the same ones you have and i like em. to see those rims in black, check out http://www.sroperformance.com/...t.jpg

I would have to say that the skyline OEM spoiler has an agressive and less ricey appeal to it. Get your hands on one like it or the exact thing once you get your 240SX running pretty quick.

After that point you'll have to refrain from putting GTR emblems and other wannabe skyline items cause a spoiler should be enough borrowed from that beautiful car.
