Duckbill spoilers

Post by tonigmr2 »

Are there any good copies for the above? £234 from Toyota is fine, but it's only for my race car which I am going to hand spray Ford Electric Orange, so I'd rather it was on a cheaper version first. :mrgreen:

Does anyone know what spoilers were OEM ones?

Duckbill
Banana

What about the 'TRD Style' one with little legs?

That was always known as just the TRD one, I think it was their generic one that they put with both the type 1 and type 2 kits. At least, I never heard or saw it called anything else.

Depends. Available over here then no, available from TRD in Japan yes. Whether TRD/TTE stuff counts as OEM for the race regs I don't know, technically they're separate suppliers.

Tbh I've never seen an original TRD spoiler, only copies over here (my old one was a copy from the US).

Me neither, although it's only the banana spoiler that makes any difference to the airflow over the car annoyingly enough. Still didn't make me want one of the ugly things though! :lol:

Oh is that right! Well perhaps for racing purposes I should think less of asthetics then!

I have to say I'm the last one to go for bodykits ( I prefer the sleeper look ) but I do like the look of that duckbill spoiler ...

Totally agree Ben - its definitely in the spirit of the roadster being that little bit different :)
