It is actually the factory spoiler off the latest gen Toyota Celica.

TXSTYLE has done this.

As well as the FX Performance race team.

Yeah, I saw two other cars on the board and I fell in love with it...a white and a silver...haven't seen the white one post in awhile.

Anyhow, it's a Celica wing, and personally I think it matches the lines of the car the bast. I can't stand the hard edges of the Nismo wing, and this one isn't as high either.

A relative STEAL on EBAY...I payed close to $100 for it off some guys celica....then payed over $500 to have it prepped, painted, and stuck on my ride.

So, to my knowledge, I have the only Le Mans Sunset with this wing...

Boy that really goes with the lines of the car better than the Nismo imo. Looks like Toyota and Nissan took styling cues from each other.

Hey, ya gotta pay to play.

Actually, I didn't mind paying a little extra for a real good paint job, since the wing was so damn cheap. Check e-bay...but I reccomend you buy a real celica wing off some dudes car, not a replica....just to be safe.

My car was in the shop with 2 m3's an S 55 AMG and a Lotus Esprit V8. At least I knew it was in good company for the 3 (yes, three) days they had it. I think if you really shop around, you'll find that $500 really isn't that far off for a quality paint matched (not just the same paint code, but actually matched to your car) mounted add-on.

Think about it tho, a nismo wing sets you back $3-400 before you even get it near your car...
Save a little here, spend a little there...
(BTW- I'm with you, I think I got ripped off on the paint, but I don't have time to shop around a whole ton, and I didn't want to risk getting a crappy job done...do it right the first time or don't do it in my book)

It looks good overall....but from behind I don't think it matches the lines (could be the angle of the pic) I think I'll stick with the nismo
