mines got the fibre glass replacement and think it gives the back end a much better shape with the spoiler on! each to their own though hey

i'am quite liking the stock one, but i wonder if someone could use one of the fiberglass ones and extend it by a couple of inches.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the cars would be boring if they all looked the same . I`ve got a shogun style spoiler for mine, originally for a 200sx, but with a little modding it will fit okay.
TBH I think the aftermarket spoilers always look better than the standard rear spoiler . All the standard ones I`ve seen tend to have a wavy look where they are fixed to the car, that`s if they are still in one piece...LOL...

Yeah im not quite sure what the thought process was behind fitting a rubbery/foamy spoiler, maybe the poodle perms effected their brain activity back then.

I think i will take it off actually, just stick a 2p coin underneath to cover the whole up for the time being, im going to spray the tailgate and bonnet black i think, eventually the whole thing will be black anyway.

i was once told it was an attempt at imitating porche's design for a foam spoiler, the idea being that at high speed the increased airflow would alter the shape of the wing and therefor also downforce. i suspect this is a load of breeze though, as the weight gain from using a rubber lump must offset any gain it gave

yeah thats y i didn't really wanna go for the se front spoiler, but then when i spun up a grass verge and bent the standard one it was the easiest option but then i had to get bigger wheel coz the 15's looked tiny with the skirts and spoiler But i got cool oldskool advans and i love it

I had the same poblem when I first lowered mine the wheels didn`t look the way I wanted in the arches, so I got a set of five TSW 5 spokes made up, or rather I ordered them and the missus paid for them for my birthday .

i liked the look of mine standard just lowered on 15" s13 wheels

How much was that lowered by Beany? What springs? That sits really nice!

is the fiberglass spoiler slightley larger ? or does it look larger because its colour coded . i liked the look of your s12 at jae mate.
