The question was where to buy...

A few of the sponsors on here have them for sale. Check with squirrel, bbist, or _kieth_. Those are the ones I know of off hand.

its from the ride of the month, PM him and ask him where he got it. its the Fabulous hood spoiler from Japan. another person to ask would be Mybox . Sean maybe able to help.

and on an off note, that hood spoiler is sweet! It's expensive I believe (as in over $300 i though). It's an actual JDM piece, not some ebay crap. this is actual authentic, so i wouldnt laugh too hard. its a nice piece.
i just guess some people dont have the taste for good JDM parts.

Man, what some people will do to be different! I don't know... it looks, well, "plastic". The only way to make it presentable you would have to use a ton of bondo to blend that awful leading edge into the hood and fender.

Aesthetics are subjective. Why would it matter if it's JDM?

if thats a style someone is going with.

and most of the time, authentic JDM products better quality compared to reproduction material made in the US.

case in point, authentic Fabulous Body Kits compared to the knock off ones. Real stuff fits better

Thanks...sorry for not cathing this sooner....

you can try bbist or quadoptix they were the ones selling at the time i bought mine...

they will need some work to fit as tight as mine does...(all body kits need fitting, this is no exception)

here is a pice of when i was fitting it...
when i got it there was a 1/4 inch gap on the sides...it looked like a flock or seagulls hairdo.
if you look at the edge of the hood peice...there is a line. thats the original bottom of it...
thats the gap i fixed.

it fit flush in the center between the washer nozzles. then rose at the edges...

and yes the washer nozzles still hit the windshield where they should.

i had thought of blending it into the hood...but then it would look wrong.
i left the edge to mimic the look of the lip kit.
they do compliment each other.

I had the same problem with mine. It is still sitting in the garage. Can you explain a little more what you did to bring the sides down? Did you cut, flex, or build up?

first i sanded down the areas that were hitting. i hoped to make this as low profile as i could...
i soon sanded right into the fiberglass...now its time to build up.
as you can see i taped off the hood. i mixed a lot of bondo.
i layed the bondo on the tape, put the wing in the bondo to make a perfectly molded bottom.
when i did this, i did not mix enough bondo and needed to do this 5-6 times...
each time mixing, applying, drying, sanding...

i figured out after i was done i did it wrong...

i should have applied the bondo on the wing, then put it down to get the mold of the hood...should have been done in 2-3 times...

this building up caused the side parts to be too short. i had to build them up...

i happened to be lucky enough and had a spare hood. i took mine to the basement and ran a CF hood for two days...

i got rid of the CF hood because it did not go well with the painted hood spoiler...
