What are everyones opinions on these? I think i\'m growing to like them.. nice little feature..
Does anyone know where i could pick one of them up? Does anyone know the width of one side of the window to the other at the top? I\'m sure i could pick up something universal for quite cheap..
This is a very good example i feel of one.

they aren\'t cheap
Thanks dude. I actually looked at this today but had forgotten where i has seen it..
It would probably be cheaper for me to fly over to Japan and steal one from a car.. haha.. Surely i should be able to pick up a universal one that looks similar..
think the idea\'s good but they\'d look better if they wrapped around a bit more imo.
also roof spoiler + rear spoiler......eww
hahaha.. awwww, its not that bad! I\'m going to take a pic of my car then with the old spoiler and new spoiler fitted at the same time.. that will be a good bit of ewww for you!
I thought i was the only one that liked em. I saw one on an fd but couldn`t find who makes them, so when my dad can be arsed to bring the welder round we`ll fabricate one from scratch.:cool
ooooooh fancy! Tell him to get round soon then.. id like one too please! :)
I think that spoiler set up in the pic looks prety awesome! Maby a bit "busy" for some folks but it works for me.:mmmm
Yeah i agree.. but i think it would look better with the Turbo 2 spoiler and roof spoiler. Does anyone in the Uk have one on their fc?
Have you seen the ones that cover the rear window with multiple spoilers? Not sure what they are called but its all one piece. A bit like those ones to keep the sun out.
ahhhh i know exactly what style you are talking about.. but i can\'t seem to find a picture!
Like this??

jus sth random lol but...
i think one of you boys mention about having like an evo fq400 type roof spoiler..?!?!
the one with lots of fins sticking out of the rear window.
they got lots of them in malaysia on protons
im sure u can adapt it for the fc.
sorry but no pic of it tho =s
Yeah thats the style Retro. Think they are more of a American thing than a UK thing but each to their own.
Personally i don\'t like the grill on the window.. too much going on.. It quite suits American cars though i think..
BBCFC - Do you mean on their FC\'s? If you can find a pic that would be nice. :)
they hav it on their protons haha
saw a few while i was out there but didnt take any pics.
protons are a boys racers dream out there. they aparently can tune them up real mad wiv fat turbo\'s etc.
some old protons look like the 1st gen evo\'s n even have the tommi makkinan stripes on the side haha
i\'ll put a pic of hat up when i get back to my proper net connection rather than slow mobile net
i once found a guy on rx7club.com binning one of those rear lourved things
if it didnt sell he was throwing it away - and he wouldnt ship it to the UK regardless of cost and me paying everything :( - wasnt impressed
bit off topic but bit of a laugh
looks bit liek early evo but its a proton!!

another proton

Grinder - That is a total gutter!
BBCFC - Surely that is an Evo no?.. It\'s pretty nice!

Now thats just nasty
those rear window sun visor thingys are american and australian... anywhere where there\'s a lot of sun they have them... not here for obvious reasons
Are you trying to say the Uk is not a sunny place??.... :p
Got to love that bug cover for the front too! You see so many nice cars in the States with those things on. Damn shame.
Here\'s a pic of the rear roof spoiler and tail spoiler.

That my friend is a wet dream right there.... oh my god that looks sooooo good!
Have a look at the whole thread. There are a lot of nice cars on it. Do you ever look on the RX7Club site?
http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=804775
I don\'t actually dude.. There are some good threads over on Driftworks i found though including this one -
http://www.driftworks.com/forum/media-section/47292-pic-request-hot-ass-fcs.html
I really dont get the car bra\'s, never been a fan
I feel they belong on VW\'s. Even at that they look really ugly though..
I like the single rear roof spoiler.....but hate the 80\'s window slat things.......the driftworks hot ass fc thread is one of the best on the net for fc pics!
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/lexleo510/caNon%20cam%20pics/IMG_1598.jpg)
Rear roof spoiler for the win i reckon!
I do agree with the top window spoiler though lol
top window, rear roof, plastic fantastic.....whatever! :D
If he didn\'t have that black spat thing (or whatever its called) then that would be one of the nicest side shots of an FC ive seen.
Paint it white then!

thats the rear diffuser :chat
would look nicer if the diffuser was painted :cool
Quote from: Retro_Boy_G;567645I feel they belong on VW\'s. Even at that they look really ugly though..
They are not there for style. They are to prevent the front paint being chipped off by stones and gravel. And did you ever go on the motorway behind the gravel lorry?
I expect those guys have to do it a lot more than us.
Function over form in this case.
Yes, i know this is their main purpose.. but you know people just use them for style now.. which just looks really rubbish. I think id rather have paint chips that one of them

Amen brutha!

Mitch would like the weights please :D
hah hah hah, great weights, am i seeing things or does it flip up in the middle there...? will be nice to see the finished project
Yeah, I can see that as well lol maybe its ment to be like that as it is a spoiler lol its moving the air flow onto the BGW lol he is picking up the car soooons :D
the middle sticking up is cos the weights on either side. should be flat.
still cant believe someone *caugh* m1tch *caugh* test fitted it the wrong way round and didnt manage to get it fitted lol

We weren\'t expecting for the raw fibreglass to be open to the elements! thats just bad :rollin
AHAHAHAHAHAH, now now, i\'m sure we\'ve all test fitted things the wrong way round before...
Quote from: Skifledanabit;666597AHAHAHAHAHAH, now now, i\'m sure we\'ve all test fitted things the wrong way round before...
I have photos of it being held up the wrong way round, but I was being serious about the raw fibreglass, those roof spoilers aren\'t going to last long as they are open to the elements, I wouldn\'t want one on my car. :Nono!
Quote from: Skifledanabit;666597AHAHAHAHAHAH, now now, i\'m sure we\'ve all test fitted things the wrong way round before...
lol, true, but 99% of the time we finally get it right. unlike 2 monkeys which couldnt figure it out :Giggle:Giggle
i guess its true the saying \'people who have gone to uni might be smart but have no common sense\' :Giggle
Quote from: NeilSR;666552Did this ever happen?
just thought, DtheB has one, not sure if he has / will fit to his fc as its in a bit of a state lol
worth asking just in case?
