Let's put it this way... they're not cheap, but Van did what he could to hook me up. As far as the wheels go:

Work Euroline N Series

Front = 17x8.5 +16mm offset
Rear = 17x9 +17mm offset

Tires in front and rear are 215/40/17

that spoiler looks like it can actually do sumthing to correct the chaotic air flow behind the car. tell us if it keeps the back of the car cleaner.

Thanks Danny! I don't want to be featured in a mag. There are plenty of crazier rides out there. I just want to have fun with it. That's enough for me. :)

you will also need to keep us updated if your hatch stays a little cleaner after the new wing. might be a nice sale pitch for these guys...not that they need it. :roll: ok im done

I just saw this in person, it is just something else, it really completes a JDM look on his ride...

bBTed thinks it should have an angled edge, but you can't tell unless you are close up.. and besides he isn't going to Vegas so he doesn't matter :P :wink: :lol: (see what happens when you forget I'm at a mini meet! :lol: :lol: )

For those who are wondering, the spoilers can be had for $585 shipped to you. That includes all importing fees, and customs, and EVERYTHING. One thing to remember is that Fabulous makes parts as you order them, so be wary of places that say they can get Fabulous parts for: 1) extra cheap (sometimes they'll tell you they can get it to you for less than the Japanese retail price?!?!), and 2) in an extraordinarily short amount of time. I'll be honest and tell you that: 1) Fabulous parts are expen$ive!, and 2) they take a while to process the order, manufacture the part, and then ship (remember that a container takes at least 2-3 weeks to get from Japan to the US already).

Visually, I think the spoilers totally change the look of the car. It's amazing how such a simple little piece can make the car look 100% different!

So I'm not in a position to buy one Van, but just a question regarding the "construction" of the spoiler. You state that Fabulous "makes parts as you order them", but I am a little confused. Does this mean they whip up a spoiler from their molds & paint it, or just make a spoiler and it arrives primered and ready for paint?

Hopefully this question will help other SL's!
