Since I took off my spoiler, and drive around without it, I get MUCH more complements.
I love it. The girls think it's a porsche. LOL.



Anyhow, our tibs look best without the stock wings, no matter RD1 or 2 or GK.
The ugly Hyundai spoilers break the flow of our cars...


As for the best option it is modifiying the rd2 hatch to fit... And leaving it without a spoiler of course...


Thats my 2 shekels. (Israeli currency... lmao.gif )

I like the Rd1 without a rear spoiler (which was why I bought the one I did.. it came spoilerless) but I had planned on adding one before I destroyed my car.



This is the rear spoiler from a 2004 Pontiac GrandPrix. While not an exact fit (the pontiac is wider) the contours are more or less the same. To make it fit I would have had to cut it in half and add a couple of inches of width. Subtly was the name of the game here

Hey Tim, props on you car man.

I voted #1 cause I don't like the idea of painting the middle section; I also don't like the little spoiler idea; it just don't look too good specially because the spoilerless coupe does not look bad imo; but as you don't like it (and besides there is always the perception issue, that you got "the cheap version" w/o the spoiler... ) I'd sugget more radical changes... if you kinda mold a smaller spoiler into the hatch and make it go with the lines and kinda follow the idea of the RD2 hatch (the idea, I don't mean to replicate) the smaller spoiler thing could work. That's my opinion. Eitherway, keep up the good work man.

I'm partial to the clean lines and no wing so I voted that way.

whaaat? the RD2's look great without wings. their wings suck captain crunch's balls. RD1's look like they're missing something back there without a wing although i do like how smooth they are and do think they can pull it off with the help of classy rims. a wing balances everything out. having a shark spoiler, i must admit it's not the best balance of all because the spoiler goes inward too much but i think it's nice as hell and definitely the perfect spoiler for a tiburon.

socks you noticed that ford spoiler too? ever notice how strikingly similar pontiac bonneville rear ends are to our tiburons?? scary huh? too scary.



Oz, take it slow. if i were you i'd try hard to find that shark spoiler and ship it. i'll help you if you need. no sense in settling for something you might regret or not be so sure of.
