Rear Top Wing Spoiler

Here's a picture of my car just hours after getting the top wing spoiler put on. I'll get a better picture later, but this is the only one I could do in the mean time.

Wow!Not bad at all, SuperIon!After seeing it on different colors, it's starting to grow on me. I need to see how one of these looks on a Shadow Vibe...

The list price for this spoiler here in California was like 421 - 496 so I had to search around. My brother works for NUMMI so I found a dealership that would honor his employee discount the best so I ended up getting it for about 300. Then I paid about 100 dollars to get it painted and put on... the guys at the workshop said they'd put it on for free. I thought there would be a problem taking and puting back on the roof rack cross bars but I found out that it can be done so now the racks are off. I'll take more pics and post them later today.

looks really good in that color. Is that Salsa or Lava? I can't tell from the shade. I'm putting my 2 rear spoilers on today. I'll post a pic once they're finished.

It's a salsa Vibe. Im looking forward to some pis from you trdvibe. I'm still waiting for my friend to return my digicam so I can post more.

SuPeRioN81 · Post by **SuPeRioN81** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:53 am

Hey trdvibe, how much did you pay for the spolers for everything... painting and install?

GT_03 · Post by **GT_03** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 8:18 am

i'm actually considering changing my list to Santa and putting the spoilers on.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 11:12 am

I paid $550 including shipping for the spoilers. They were already painted Satellite. It will cost about $100-120 to install them. I may just do it myself though. I don't have a drill, and may end up just buying one anyway.

Looks great! Did you get both or just the top one? I think I want just the top one, but I'm not sure.I wish they came in Lava so I wouldn't have to spend more to get it painted.

SuPeRioN81 · Post by **SuPeRioN81** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 7:50 am

I only got the top one... I only could afford one so I picked that one over the mid spoiler. I don't think I am going to get the mid... prolly just gonna lower my vibe.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 8:06 am

That will look very NICE when you have it all done. I'm still waiting to get my spoilers installed.

SuPeRioN81 · Post by **SuPeRioN81** » Wed Jul 09, 2003 10:06 am

I am going to add pictures by tomorrow of my car. I finally am getting my digicam back tonight. That's one reason I didn't want the kit... because I was going to lower it.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Jul 10, 2003 5:50 am

I think I may like it without the mid spoiler. I'm still debating on installing the mid on mine. I think I like yours with just the top. I'll wait to see more pics of yours in the day light. Can't wait to see them!

TRD, where did you get that price?

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Jul 10, 2003 9:26 am

Ebay. Guy bought a satellite Vibe from a dealership in NY. He didn't want the spoilers and told them to sell them on Ebay and give him the money back.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Jul 10, 2003 11:35 am

alright! that settles it! I'm going for the top spoiler only. saw the spoiler package on a satellite monotone from gt03. Have my appointment for Tuesday afternoon. can't wait!

is your Vibe lowered? I can't tell from the angle of the ground.

Hey trdvibe, what did you think of my front lights?

SuPeRioN81 · Post by **SuPeRioN81** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 10:09 am

No it is not. I wish it was. It'd look so nice if it was.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 10:11 am

are those lids? It looks like you took the rails off too. same here. they look dumb. Too bad we can't take the whole rack off without the holes.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 10:12 am

I think I'm going to get some ground control coil overs so i can adjust mine in the winter when it snows here. I have to put snow tires on anyways, so it won't matter if the wheels come off or not. still love that Salsa color.

SuPeRioN81 · Post by **SuPeRioN81** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 10:16 am

Yeah same here, I go snowboarding all the time up in Lake Tahoe and I can't have my car lowered all the time. How much are ground controls and do you know a website that has them???

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 10:19 am

yes, there's another thread on coilovers in suspension/brakes. i've seen them for about $400 not including the shocks. TRD has a set of four complete w/ everything for $1200. ouch! There's a place on ebay selling a set of ground controls for about $365 i think. here's the site someone else posted from a different thread http://www.ground-control.com/

Looks great !I am wondering though, with the roof rack in place, is the top spoiler of much use ?

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 11:53 am

finally got mine installed! It looks far better than I thought. I wasn't so keen on the puppy dog ear look, but it kind of grows on you.Pic of my rear top spoiler. Sorry it was raining.

Nice trdvibe. Now you can erase the "coming" part on your list of mods.

p-mone · Post by **p-mone** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 12:44 pm

That looks hot....but don't you like the midgate spoiler too. I saw a 2004 Satellite Vibe, parked in a dealer's lot, with the whole sport package and it looks awesome. I just ordered both spoilers today and I can't wait to put them on.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 12:59 pm

no, i really didn't like the mid spoiler. i had it, but then sold it to Meathead. Plus i needed some cash for either springs or wheels. i haven't decided yet on the which one i want most for now.

p-mone · Post by **p-mone** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 1:53 pm

Did you want to go bigger than your factory 17's? I just got my new wheels and I think they look nice. They're 18 inch Falken Tourque 5's in gunmetal. Sorry, no pictures yet, but I will have them soon. Definitely look around until you find the style that you like.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Jul 15, 2003 2:09 pm

I like the factory 17's so I don't have to get a whole set of new tires. I want some nice wheels, but I've tapped myself a little short. Come winter, I have to get 4 studded tires and that'll cost some money.
