Took my RX out for the first time yesterday, it\'s almost finished now.
Has got a new street ported engine (thanks to Carl Hayward) and has just been resprayed.
I\'ve got 2 spoilers but not sure whether it needs one.  What does everyone reckon?

800 miles to go!!

The blended side skirts look frickin mint. I recon you should leave it de-spoilered, it looks so smooth!

That looks really really nice.

Looks great without the spoiler.  If you \'must\' put one on maybe stick with a nice smooth round one like the stock jobbies.  Personally I wouldn\'t want a big GT wing spoiling the lines.

Leave it off I say.

Looks good as it is, post a photo from the back so we can see what it looks like spoilerless.

mrfitz

Yeah good point!!

Here is one from the back.

I think it looks better with a spoiler !!

Looks odd without it......expected to get the flak now !!

What are the 2 you have ?

Ace looking car though matey !!

I have a 99 spec one already painted which I do quite like and an older one from a 1994 car.  Some kind of aniversary one, slightly smaller than the standard one.

Haven\'t got any pics of them though.

Noooo dont put the 99 spec one on.....sell that to me !!

Seriously that spoiler is ace and would look good with the aftermarket front and sideskirts !!!

I think it needs a spoiler and some rear skirts.
Regardless you have a very nice car there.

Looks sweet! It\'s not my bag as far as the skirts go, but ha it\'s yours you love it, thats good. If all liked the same thing it would be very very boooring. For me, as the RX has such nice smooooth lines, it should have nice smooth addons. But I know theres a lot of fans out there that love that look. Good luck with it!!!!Don’t wreck it .............. :cheers

mrfitz

Thanks for all the nice comments, I\'ll see how much the local bodyshop want to fit the spoiler and then I\'ll decide!!

Looks the dogs *&$$% mate! Really is impressive, until seeing your car I never thought a Rex without a spoiler would look OK, but for once I\'m tempted to say - leave the spoiler off.

Cheers
