hey. i just wanted to know wut you guys thought of putting shark fins on an rd1? like the ones from the scion commercial here:

maybe someone could do a photoshop of this if possible.

 

This is the one I have right now on my car, it's real CF:





And this is the one I had on it when it was silver:





I love the one I have now. I was considering replacing it with a real GPS fin antenna if I was going to add a nav system, but the whole idea became really expensive really fast. Maybe someday I'll do it, not anytime soon.

 

OT- TC you need to get your car back to fully-painted again, you've got one of my favorite tibs around.

 

^Thanks dude. I'm now accepting donations for a new paint job! lol

Nah I'll see what I can do about it this summer. I may take rattle cans to it.

 

Agreed. Your car has been through alot TC, sunroof dancing, 2 colors, primered parts, wrecks... It's still one of the best cared for Tibs on the site. The sunroof dancing was my favorite though.

Silver, The thing that makes the Sharkey spoiler so appealing is that it is a wild yet stock part. The little shark wing antenna acts not only as a small stylish aerodynamic part, but it also receives radio reception.

If you do a shark wing like the one in the scion commerical, you will have exceeded the limits of rice for our cars. There's not even a wing on that. It's just 3 fins. It does nothing for the car excpt add weight and drag. It looks ugly in my oppinion and entirely too large. It would block your view through the rear view mirror. It would not take much of a blow to break the sucker right off the car because of how high it sits.

 

i meant the 3 shark fins in place of the spoiler, like in the video i posted. the two side fins would be a lil bit smaller than the middle fin. i could just use the holes left by the stock spoiler as mounting points.

 

I know, so was I.

 

haha ok. i wont do the shark fins. i am just trying to think if something different that no one has done yet. something custom only to my car. idk ...

 

I had considered doing a row of smaller fins like on the Evo MR:





But I dunno it might look a little weird.

Thanks DTN. I'll be done with eventually. I just finished my interior (for the final time, lol).

 

yeah. i dont really know about the evo fins. it would be interesting to see how it does turn out tho.
