What spoiler would you like on your FTO?

Hi guys,

If your FTO was bold as, and you had the choice to put on a spoiler of your choice on your FTO, what would you put on?

Maybe some one has a good taste...

Some pics would be great too if you can find it.

Thanks guys,

Hey man, spotted you the other day on the harbour bridge.

What did you do with your GT wing?

As for what rear spoilers to go for, I like the Version R or the Creative Sports one.

But if I were you I would go for the spoilerless look, and go for a different front bar. If I had the normal GPX spoiler, I would've gone the spoilerless look already.

Perhaps you should have done survey for this thread so people could simply vote

If you want your FTO to be "bold as" then go for something like the veilside of hiro wing, if on the other hand you want something a little more stylish, I'd either go GPX spoiler, GPvR spoiler or no spoiler.

This all comes down to personal opinion, but for me the GPvR spoiler has the nicest racing lines, the GPX spoiler is nicely understated, while no spoiler is more inline with many of the european high powered cars and super cars.

Hey guys,

I didn't do a vote thingy cause I don't really know all of the spoilers that are available.
Also, I feel that when ppl do that, it restricts so many other options that other ppl could think of...

That's the reason.

Now, I am asking ppl for this for some ideas because I don't think spoilerless is stylish and I don't think GPX or GPvR is that much of a good spoiler either.

If I want to change a spoiler I don't think I want to change it to another factory spoiler! What's the point?

Although I do like the hiro spoiler at the moment but wanting to know if there are better options out there...

And I guess having used to spoilers the car seems so bold without one!

And I took off my spoiler case I was getting pulled over too much by the cops!

I've had it for about a year now and all of a sudden the cops are going crasy!!!!!

Anyway, I don't want to put my factory gpx spoiler back on so I thought I'll ask for some options to ppl, hence, the post!

Thanks any way, it doesn't seem like many people are interested in spoilers!

fto12345, what do the cops say about your GT wing??
just curious coz i have been in front of a police car so many times now and never got pulled over for it....

bozhu001 · Post by **bozhu001** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 6:04 pm

My option would be

Tall large GT wing like the MUGEN style for the Integra R's

or the Vielside kit which looks really aggressive

fto12345 · Post by **fto12345** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 6:34 pm

well i have been pulled over twice already and it's only been recently.
I assume it'll only get worse....
Because of those new task force out there targeting moded cars.

Yeah, at the moment I really do like the Hiro wing, but wondering if there are any thing else out there apart from the usual veilside and T-wings...

ruchi · Post by **ruchi** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 6:57 pm

This is purely my personal opinion, but I reckon you need to be a "hero" to have a "hiro" wing.

But then again I'm not much of a fan of the veilside stuff either I find both of these just too "out there".

To each their own, I guess

Hmmzzz I was thinking about customising a wing for my fto for a while now and the mazda speed who created two body kits for the rx8's the blue and the other one (can't rem). But on the blue rx8, it had a similar style gt wing, but it is more curvier and has two wings instead of one, which looks quite nice on an fto. My bet is, if u done like what u see, create one.

Does any one know how much the hiro wings cost?

Yeah, I guess if you've got the money then you could cutomise any thing really.

But I guess the whole point is so that you don't have to spend too much and still get the style you want.

Which is ofcourse not always easy!

they are getting rid of them because rear spoilers increase your co-efficent of drag

fto12345 · Post by **fto12345** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 3:19 pm

Well to be honest with you, as soon as I took the spoiler off it did feel like the car was going better for sure.
At first I thought it was just me thinking...but it really does feel different.

Btw,
HEK-71Q, how much did you get your hiro spoiler for?
Or did it come with the car?

Thanks,

i have a veilside spoiler... and its glued on because the place that put it on was sh*t...

so i can take it off! and switch between my stock gpx spoiler
but the veilside wing gives it an agressive look

but with the veilside... people seeem to mistake your car for a supra a lot more

pagan · Post by **pagan** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 11:20 am

i have a hiro wing, came with the car. has HIRO stamped into the back lip thats how i know what it is lol. but it is different to the one in that pic, no sharp edges its curved. sort of like the supra one. another FTO owner about 3 days after a bought the car stopped me at the supermarket and asked where i got it. i told him i got it with the car and he said "damn, those spoilers are rare as". is that true?
