turboboost Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lady luck has given me a fist-bump, and I may very well be doing a winged-to-wingless trunk swap in the next few days. I'm looking for a trunk lip spoiler, and have only come across a few options on eBay, so I'd like to get some input from other people and hopefully some recommendations. I found this thread, but it seems like I've missed the Rommel/RBS spoilers by a few years, K2/Stanza and Cyberhood are rare as hell, and HKC-speed is now defunct. I'm not even sure if R-Rev is functioning anymore. So far, I've found (I'm leaning towards the STI lip): S-type lip from RRev http://www.rrevsports.com/pic_product_spoilerS1.jpg D-type lip from RRev http://www.rrevsports.com/pic_rs_angle_nice.jpg D-type lip from eBay http://www.racingraven.net/JC-SUIE2503_06_Legacy_Spoiler2.jpg And an STI trunk lip http://www.ravspeconline.com/images/legacygt/frp-pic1-install.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I totally vote for the STi one, too, though, I don't remember being able to order them -- Do you have a line on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 eBay, $155 shipped from China for the painted version. The unpainted version is $125 shipped. Prices are reasonable and I can only hope that the quality is there as well. Only issue is drilling a hole into the wingless trunk lid that I spent all this time searching for to route the 3rd brake light wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliott Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 RREV is still functioning, I had an S-Type but I could never get it to sit right with 3m tape. So I sold it. lol but I also like the Ravspec style STi lip. I have a winged trunk in my basement to drill up. But the only ones I've found seem pretty skecthy, Ebay and aliexpress.com from some Chinese manufacturer. Let me know what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutoyy Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I was about to get the STI one, but couldn't justify putting that much money into a cosmetic wing when I need more go-fast mods. I got one of these ebay ones for $15 instead... Came color matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chutoyy Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 They raised the price... Used to be $30, then they had a sale when I picked mine up... http://www.ebay.com/itm/230951478046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 $15 and color-matched? That's a pretty sweet deal, as they're usually unpainted and still more $$. I agree that the STI lip is on the expensive side, but if it's decent/good quality and achieves the overall look I'm aiming for, it'll be worth it. Edit: Gotcha, $30-40. Also, called RavSpec on the off-chance that they might have some NOS STI-style trunk lips. The dude just laughed and said "Not a chance." Looks like eBay might be the only alternative at this point.

Dispatch20 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 A guy local to me (b_riz...) used to have a RBS v2 trunk spoiler. I'll see if he still has it and would sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varano14 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have an ebay sti wing. Fitment currently is not perfect but I really didn't play with it that much since you can only notice the slight gap if you are looking up at the side end of it. For this reason mine is only on with double sided tape, hasn't moved in over 1000 miles Paint was spot on as far as I could tell, I have heard its a bit thin. But I have had no problems with it. There are pictures of it somewhere I think it the OBP picture thread I'll post a link if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks - some fitment pictures would be awesome, since it looks like the sti lip is the leading contender at the moment. From the eBay listing, there may be 2 bolts to go through the trunk. I wonder if the combo of those bolts + double-sided tape will effectively seal all perceivable gaps..

Bigshoes Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 yours is a 08/09 correct? the s type is what ive been looking to get on my spec b but have read in some threads that its slightly off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yes, it's an 08. I would say that there were 3 minor issues with this spoiler, but they're not noticeable until pointed out. 1) Looking from the back, the bottom left corner comes in 1/8" to 1/4" more than the bottom right corner. Very minor. 2) At the front center (sitting on the top face of the trunk), there was a very small area that stuck out further. The auto body easily shaved this down for symmetry. 3) It being PU, there is a slight waviness on the top face when you examine up close in the light. That said, the body shop was stellar - they were able to shape, prep/paint, and install it so that all of the issues noted above were either fixed or barely noticeable. It's a great piece overall.
