The Wingless, Spoilerless Removing Rear Spoiler Thread [merged]

[sexehtopper]

looks clean man, i really like it.

Smooth, I like it. I've always thought the Spyder would look better without one. I say keep it that way, until your wife witholds sex until you put it back on.........

Then I'd at least think about it :laugh: j/k

 

[BacknBlack92ESi]

I like it alot better without the spoiler. Looks alot more clean and flows better. I vote: No Spoiler.

 

[SpYYder]

No spoiler no spoiler!!!! leave it off leave it off!!! looks cleaner, lower, wider without one. Mine wingless, of course:

I think it looks pretty good with NO spoiler.

Kind of reminds me of the Honda S2000

 

[Leichtspeed]

i'm afraid i'll have to go with the majority, here. it just looks so fresh and so clean!clean!

don't listen to your wife. (in this instance. i'm married so i know how it goes.)

 

[wret]

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Here are a couple shots from behind.

It was getting a little dark.

I think it looks pretty good. It gives a diffrent impression than other cars. It looks more refined and sophisticated rather than peppy and ready-to-go. I guess it just matters on what kind of impression you want to give. Kinda looks like an older luxury car.

Oh, and don't go over 160 or you'll fly all over the place

Looks great, I say keep it wingless.

OT: what offset are your wheels?

[SpYYder]

[98eclipseRS]

looking good bro been debating doing this on my hardtop fro quite some time now maybe ill pull it off just to see what it looks like.

Looks like the yeas have it. Any one want to compare tips on how to fill all those holes in the deck and fenders?

there are a few ways to fill holes,

cheapest: go to ace hardware and buy some little rubber plug deals and be done with it.

cheap: have a body shop or yourself slap some bondo over the holes, sand and repaint.

expensive(real way): have a body shop or you weld small metal plates on the under side of the hatch/trunk/fender so that the bondo has something to support it, when doing it the way mentioned above(no welding) the bondo can and most likely will crack and fall out leaving you with 1.) holes again and 2.) cracked paint around the area the holes were to begin with. With welding the plates it gives the bondo something for reinforcment. Then you just bondo over the holes/welded plates, sand, paint, etc...

I love the way it looks with the top down, and wing-less, I'm just not liking the brown. I think you should buy a black top

 

[InfamousEclipse]

Love it! a lot cleaner/smoother as stated

 

[kooka]

yeah um that thing a few posts up... is that?

an identity crisis among many other things.

 

[street_scape]

The car kinda has a look of a mercedes. Looks really smooth and clean. Keep the spoiler off and I give you a s up on it.

 

[paranoidTSi]

yeah um that thing a few posts up... is that?

Looks like the wide body kit for the Eclipse with the Supra Tails.

Anyway, I think it looks like something is missing...I think eclipses look better with spoilers, but I'm in the minority here.

 

[jimwross]

I think I will try that on my spyder tomorrow... looks awesome. You live in a very pretty area as well (background).

Also where did you get your top cover (the thing thats over the top when its down)?
