I can't quite decide if I like the way it looks.
Kinda ticky tacky.....
I was almost going to buy it....but
I'm feeling it doesn't add to the look of the car...

What do you guys think?

The spoiler will not sit perfectly flush. You might want to shave off a few mm between the spoiler and the tail-lights. Otherwise there will always be a force acting against the spoiler, especially when you close the hatch.

I kinda like it. Not sure about its fit and finish.

If you’re going that route, how ‘bout OEM part(s)? IMHO, the AMG pieces look sharp.

Hmmm...it would look cool with carbon fiber...
Where can I get that done?

BTW, nice story on the price of a coupe in Moscow.
And I saw you mentioned you picked up some Xenon lights.
Did you get that set on ebay that closed yesterday?

I saw that, was tempted to bid, but the guy was selling seperately!
How weird would it be to get in a bidding war and only get one side?


UPDATE: Purchased and paid for.
$118 unpainted.

I'm gonna paint it black, or try to find carbon fiber type material to cover it with?

that's what I'm talking about, i didn't even know it existed, and I think it's MUCH nicer.

Got any more pics?
A $120 mod that I can get excited about?
Wow. Well, I'd kinda hit the wall on what I could do without flushing
say a grand for bix, or 500 for a chip, or some sort of ground effects.
Or 300 for a Sprint booster (NO REPLIES ON THAT HERE PLEASE!!!! Go to one of the many lame threads on SB if you want to spew about that. )

I'm definitely going with black.
What material is it made out of?

I'm not a big fan of this wing. It looks out of place with the shape of the car, but that's just my .02

Well, we'll see. If it doesn't look good, at least I won't be out a load of cash.

Post # 6? And you have a Scion?
I like the TC, but if I added leather, and a supercharger, it'd cost as much as a benz.
Xa?
(Sorry, you can dress up an Echo anyway you want, it's still an Echo with 115 hp)

What gives?
Wishin' for a benz?
Enquiring minds need to know. :-)

A quick search of your posts shows you know some stuff...but you're posting in several different forums.

Who are you? Need the in-fo.

I like the look of it and might have it done myself in black on my silver car.
