jevansio Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Since I decided to change the look of my Supe slightly I decided the TRD/RMM style rear spoiler was the only way to go. I was keen to see what one weighed and as luck would have it Michel had one he was going to use. He said I could borrow it to test fit it & see what it weighed see what I thought about the look of it. The stock spoiler weighed roughly 3.5kgs on my bathroom scales (not the most accurate but gives a rough idea). When I unpacked the RMM one it came in at 3kgs, so I was over the moon they were roughly the same. The fit of this was great, I shaved a little off the ends of the blade to make a perfect fit, but other than that it was a straight bolt on affair. And the best bit is Michel said this one is now mine :D . What a guy to let me borrow it & test fit it to see if I even liked it, I owe you one bud It'll be getting sprayed black as soon as I get a new front lip to match. Not the most scenic setting for the photos & the car needs a serious was but you get the idea Edited June 24, 2008 by jevansio (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 thats very nice! If I was keeping mine (and didnt have the holes covered up) I would deff have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Cheers chaps, I think when it's been sprayed, has a different lip & has had a good wash & poilsh it should be looking pretty smart, the HDR photo's help set off the black painwork amazingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Looks good, I guess I must have over estimated the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Looks absolutely stunning mate. To be honest i would re-think the splitter though. I really like the OEM one. The only thing thats missing from it is that it isn't bodycoloured. Can they be sprayed? IMO that would be better idea for a trial. TRD spoiler makes a massive difference, glad your painting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The one and only spoiler ! i want one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilakadaddy Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I've always been a fan of the stock spoiler over any other, but that looks really good on your car, seems to suit it better than most others I've seen. Looking forward to seeing it with the new front splitter on too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD spoiler makes a massive difference, glad your painting it That's not a bad idea you've had there. You're right, I think it is the grey coloured lip that is letting it down, I think as it's so low even I could have a go at spraying it as it's not like it's a wing or door or anything.
