Spoiler Change and the reason your TRD spoiler is not as light as you may think.

[monsween]

Well i had a bit of a change of mind tonight and i thought I'd change the spoiler back to stock. The diffuser is staying on for good as I love it. Just having a bit of indecision regarding the spoiler

 

TRD

 

 

Spoiler-less

 

 

Stock

 

 

 

While changing this over I answered the question i've been asking myself for the last few months. "Why does my boot not stay open?" I figured it was because my boot struts were on the way out. I was wrong.........

 

[TTRickeh]

Lol

[AlliRR]

ffs mate thats a serious amount of water eh!

[marcAB10]

I'll add that this was with the blade removed, both sides were the same and there is no extra holes from normal.

[pistol pete]

spoilerless... looks awesome with those wheels

[Swampy442]

Spoilerless, every time

[Guigsy]

mine is full of water too. i can hear it. but im not sure if its the boot lid or the spoiler. my old car never had that problem.

[RobD]

Looks good with the TRD on bud, I'd keep that on.

[Homer]

I think it looks better with the stock one on there (not a popular point of view )

 

It's a lovely looking car Serioualy thinking about getting mine done in gunmetal when it comes to paint time

[scotty71]

[Soopra]

Stock wing

 

will be checking my car for water at the weekend as it seems to be monsoon season here at the moment

[skippyboyo1]

love it with the standard one however ive just got a trd so its trd all the way

[Josh]

Stock spoiler, no question!

 

Crazy amount of water!

[monsween]

Thanks fellas.

 

I'm torn between all three. It's stock at the moment and will be staying that way for a while. We'll see how I like it and decide what i'm doing before the pod

 

We we're so surprised with the first upright, Marc grabbed my toolbox and used that to try and channel the water out of the boot.

Just imagine if there had been freezing temperatures !! Bye Bye spoiler One of the local supra owners to me has a TRD and exactly the same thing happened to his and it froze over winter and cracked the paintwork. Thankfully it didn't crack the spoiler as it was stored inside.

[martini]

Stock all the way.

[Hammer]

Very nice car fella, stock wing all the way.

[marc_p]

My TRD spoiler does the same, I empty it every few months.

[Bossco]

I took my spoiler off the other week when the car was up at Hodge's and I bet I got 4 pints of water out of it. The water gets in through the holes where the blade meets the supports. I'll be running a beed of silicone around the edge of the blade when mine comes back from the body shop. I didnt have a bag or bottle to catch the water so I used my face and my T shirt

[David P]

Maybe TuRD designed it that way to give extra traction.

Wouldn't like to be drinking that water

 

Yea i seen where it was entering after i took it apart and that's exactly what i'll be doing when/if i make it back up again. Descisions Descisions

I prefer stock, but when my spoiler was off while having a damn good clean, I was really impressed with the agressiveness look of the car.

 

If I was you, I would fill the little square locator holes properly, then get some grommets for the main fixings holes, and when you fancy a change you can go stock/spoilerless, and not ruin anything in the process.

 

The amount of water you had there was unreal!
