I like the Kaminari wing, but it only works if you have a decent kit.

Other than that, factory pedestal spoiler.

The TRF spoiler looks sweet...

too bad I couldn't choose that one when I bought my car.

But the pedestal spoiler isn't as bad as a lot of people say it is.

Yes.. yes it is. Midnight Hawk Black whatever.. it was cool with those little navy blue metallic flakes in it. That paint was tough as hell, too. It was a good sporty little car except for the fact that it was 1) ugly and 2) a Honda.. but the Recaro seats and the rally-style shifter did rock my world. I wish I had ripped those seats out of there and put them in my tc.
Yeah the seats were nice... super suede and all red stitched. Had a nice red and black theme going on in that car. People made fun of me all the time with that car though. They called it the "mini mini van"

Doesn't the tC's shift **** kill you in comparison? It was so small for me after the EP... the first thing I did was switch it out for a new one.

The lip spoiler looks really nice on the car, though not really that noticable. It also gives it that expensive look. The pedestal is more of a sporty look, just like what the others have said. Some might not like it since it does block a little bit of your rear view.

So far Im leaning towards the pedestal mostly because of how awesome some of the pictures in this thread are. I Like the one picture of the trf spoiler, but I would like to see the spoiler on something other than a show car. If anyone has any pictures of the trf spoiler I would really appreciate it. I hope that the trf isn't like a saturn spoiler (fugly). Im starting to think that the back end looks a little plain without some type of spoiler, in a similar way that the Celica looks bad without one. Anyones pictures with or without a spoiler would be awesome!!

Hmm, Alex's tC is nice and all, but I really wouldnt call it a show car... at least not to the point where there's enough on it to throw you off from what the TRF spoiler would look like on yours. He doesn't have a bodykit or anything, so the shots of it on his car should be a pretty good representation of what they'd look like on yours.

I'd imagine it bears more resemblence to the G35 spoiler than any saturn spoiler.

All of the G35 spoilers that I have seen do not wrap around the sides of the car like that AND they are more flat on top. The top of the Trf spoiler seems a little wavy more like the top of a few random saturn models and monte carlos that I have seen, which Im not to fond of. The color seems a little off too and that makes me wonder if they can get other factory colors right. Also "Alex's TC" has way more mods than the average 17inch wheeled un-lowered TC. I know it is not a full out show car, but it is more show than factory. I would like to see a full profile of and unmodified TC with the TRF spoiler before I would consider buying it. Does anyone have one???

Do you think the Pedestal Spoiler is really worth the $423 they charge for it, does that include installation?

Does anyone have any detailed instructions on installing a spoiler yourself. Pictures would be really helpful! I would definitely consider install the above shown spoiler myself , but I have no idea how to do it and i would probably screw up. Have any of you done it????

I thought that that CF spoiler was pretty cool too. Has anyone ever seen it sold anywhere else?

the rear end of the tC is too large to have anything other than the TRF spoiler. either no spoiler or TRF

I like the lip spoiler. I would go for that aftermarket lip but the lip extends too far past the taillights on the side... I wish it would stop at the lights like the stock one does... mine currently has no spoiler, and I think it looks sleek, but if I could find a factory lip spoiler at the right price I would get it... but not for $400 or whatever its going for

I like the Trf spoiler , i didnt get a spoiler on mine , main reason is I have friends that work at a toyota distributor that can get those parts cheaps as hell , The TRF I wont have that option but hey I am open to ideas . I like the smooth look of the TC without a spoiler but i am sure there is a spoiler out there that will compliment the looks of the car as well . my bets are on TRF if they get around to the finished product

I have a spoiler that i bought from spoilerdepot.com

http://www.spoilerdepot.com/Catalog....odelTemp=&idB=

By far, it looks much nicer than the pedestal that the dealers offer. I love it and i haven't seen anyone else around with it.
