So, just removed and sold the spoiler from Rev 5 with the plan to put a cabon spoiler on the rear (don't judge, I like them!).
My problem is......the curves! I saw someone mention the 2 looks like a cockroach with no spoiler, and I have to agree. After spending hours looking at pictures, my car at different angles and videos, I think the problem is the curved drop off on the rear of the boot, but also, the curve inwards on each rear panel.
Soooo, I was wondering has anyone been able to get around this? I know these cars can look awesome without a spoiler via a TRD kit, but money isn't there for that just yet!! Do people think getting bolt-on arch extensions (not over-fenders) would help square up the rear end?
Please tell me it isn't just me!

Re: Love/Hate Relationship with my curvey rear....
Too add to this, I've been toying with the idea of getting the side pieces from a Rev 1/2 spoiler and attaching them just to box off the sides at least.
Thoughts?
Anyone have any pics of a Rev 1/2 without the main spoiler attached, and just the side pieces?

Jesus, that was quick! Yeah, looks weird. Especially from that angle. The lines just don't work.

Ideally would love a TOM's Upper spoiler. For me, I think it suits the 2 perfectly

Have you seen the MadPSI Ducktail bootlid?
Re: Love/Hate Relationship with my curvey rear....
I saw that, but I just wish it was bigger! It's nice, but I think it should be a bit taller and wider.
Big fan of ducktails. Also considering a Bomex or Kei Office as well

I recently removed the side bits off my Rev 2 in preparation to fit a Rev 3 spoiler and bootlid, it currently only has the middle part of the Rev 2 spoiler on it and strangely I think I prefer it without the sides.

Haha, yeah to be fair if I didn't have the rev 3 lights I would probably keep it like this.......
Excuse the jiz marks on the side, get quite excited over my car sometimes
What I was actually trying to visualize earlier was the above but without the lower spoiler and some sort of thing to raise it to the same height.

Yeah the only pain is blocking off the holes, my tape is holiding out so far
Re: Love/Hate Relationship with my curvey rear....
The Rev 1 does look cool without sides!
Thanks for the Gallery link Martin, really nice having a wide range of pics in the same spot.
And ads, DAMN. That is F'ing goregous!! That is really close to what I had in my head. With my car being black, I think it could really work. Thanks a lot for sharing!! Expect some PMs man!
Was otherwise considering a standard Rev 3 spoiler. I really liked it on a previous black 2, some food for thought. Thanks all
