looks a bit dodge.. & illegal- they're not allowed to have "pointy edges" in case some dumb c**t walks into it & it poke the f00 in the eyes apparently...(yet its not illegal for tradies to have planks of wood / scrap metal / ladders / tools or whatever hanging off the back of their utes..)

Ok personal opinion.

I dont like either of those spoilers on a FTO, some cars suit but I dont think the FTO does. Or i have yet to see one that has looked good.
The drift wing does look dodgy the other one looks alright but you do get what you pay for. However depending on how much it gets too you could have the opinion that "hey s^&t for $40, who cares if it only last 6 months"

Thats my 2cents :D

The FTO is a very curvy car so you need a curvy spoiler to go along with it. I like the veilside wing for this reason.

Can't say I disagree, definitely VS wing!

is now a good time for me to make a post as well?

as for the wings, i dont mind them too much, but i dont think they will be legal. another thing with the universal wings is that ppl might steal them :x

Dstock's site (cant remember the link off the top of my head but it'd been mentioned about 20million times on this forum, just look for it :) ) would be a good start to see what some of them would look like, but the choice is limited. other than that just try your generic sites... google it lol

Lol. Yea, it's been a while. Haha, "Whor3s are back", well hello to you too Ben :)

Anyhow, to the OP - I tend to stay away from the whole T spoiler type, as Borep mentioned, they're very eye catching and unfortunately are quite often broken or stolen, I've had friends who've had one ripped off their car 3 times (You'd think he'd had learnt after the first time). The last time somebody attempted to pull it off and failed, he came back to see a hole in his boot lid and a half broken wing.

Vielside wing is quite common, you're in tasmania so I'm not too sure where you could get one from, but I'm sure any body kit shop near you will have these in stock. If you're after something a little different and uncommon, you'll usually have to pay a lot more to bring it in from elsewhere, and in most cases they're not worth the price.

Good luck finding what you need.
