It might look good if you mold the edges in, if not it won't look that good. I don't think it will flow right with the car. Just look for a shark wing, looks the best and the holes for the spoiler are already in the hatch.

Without seeing it, I'm going to have to say I dont think it would look right, but it might on the car, not sure.

there is a lower version of that wing that would look soo much better. can't tell you what year it is on, just know it was a eclipse is all.

this discussion has been done a billion times. pretty much everyone agrees that a lower profile wing looks better on these cars minus the factory oem shark wing found on RD1's.

type-r's just plain rock. hell, even the little bump in the back on a RD2 looks good.

could someone by chance do a photoshop of this on the RD1? it would help a lot to actually see it on the car.

I'm with T01 here. There has to be a sharp/curve balance on the car. That spoiler is much too high and too curvy for our cars. The theme of our car is sharp meets smooth.

def. no.. the shape is WAY off.

if you want a spoiler with that general shape, i would go with the low eclipse spoiler they put on the second gens..
