Guest RHDSupra203 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i have a love-hate realation ship with "spoilers" however the stock Supra spoiler that came on my car seems to really set off the cars personality. I've Google'd wingless Supras and they seem to have their own completely different "image". Does anyone else agree that wingless Supra's look really i don't know... "off"? so to speak...? So what do you guys think Wing or Wingless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Depends on the car for me. I think a stock bodied car looks better with a wing, but some of the modified wide bodies etc look fantastic without a spoiler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Someone once said to me: "A spoilerless Supra is a decapitated Supra". I've got to agree with that really! There are one or two that don't look out of place without the wing, but they are in a very small minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 spoiler does look ok but looking at the supe from a distance from the back it seems as though its missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossack Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i have no spolier, i love the look of it, actually its the first thing i took off, it nearly put me off getting the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous comment was all IMO. If everyone liked the exact same bodykits/colours/wheels it'd be a bit dull at meets There are a lot of mods people do which make me think "wow, that's impressive, and appears to have taken a lot of time and effort in achieving it", but at the same time I wouldn't do them to my car.

(i'm new to supra's sorry for the noob questions) jamie p's supra had a doluck front bumper if that's what you were asking and is probably IMO one of the best aftermarket bumpers to date. I'd also say, on the topic of spoiler or spoilerless, bmx1lew's MSB supra is one of the best examples of spoilerless looks best. And I'm a spoiler man myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I love my spoiler!! I have seen quite a few without and to me it looks really wierd and seems to be missing the spoiler big time.... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've been toying with the idea of going wingless, and recently took it off for a few weeks to try out. Blanking grommets 'n' all, but I just had to give it a go before I make any decisions involving welding and smoothing. It changes the car's image and how people look on at it entirely. Still unsure, but it's definitely growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Supras both with and without wings and it depends on the supra whether it should have a wing or not (to me anyway) this one should...

swandip Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The J spec had an option for the spoiler on or off, Marmite thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think they look better with a spoiler! as said some can pull it off depending on the kit, colour, lowered etc but most look better with 1 imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 One of the first impression's when i first saw my first supra was of course the shape, beauty and the spoiler was part of that picture, so it should be left on as far as i'm concerned !

bmx1lew Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Heres some old wingless pic's of my supra, I think it gives the car a ,more executive, professional and muscle car look, with a spoiler I think the spoiler is too big. I think the back arches look more like a jag xk8, Aston Martin DB7 And the Alfa 8C http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/full/CARmageddon2550.jpg Aston Martin DB7 http://www.freewebs.com/therealpalace/Aston-Martin-DB7-Vantage-Coupe-green.jpg http://themes.belchfire.net/screenshots/6363-1185794734-aston_martin_db7_gt_2_-_preview.jpg And similar to the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione As much as i love the supra and yes it came out the factory with a spoiler and I do think you should keep a jap car looking Jap, But I do think some times, not all the time that it looks like it should be on http://www.barryboys.co.uk http://www.modernracer.com/member/memberfeatures/carcutaways/toyotasuprainsidesthum.jpg Personally I think the car looks 10x better without.

Guest Quail Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I love spoilerless Supras! Very clean yet aggressive. Makes the car's whole stance feel lower and wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 one thing i've just realised on the supra when looking at the pics is, How long is that bonnet! the front end is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
