More Yahoo Japan Auctions?

Yes!  I can’t get enough.  I’ve bought another spoiler.  Why?!  WHY?!  Well…  it was a number of reasons, partially because the first one didn’t quite fit.  Sure, it would have taken only a few minutes to make it fit but it didn’t right off the bat.  The other reason was that this second one I found, is deeper.  A further 30mm of depth.  I just had to cross my fingers that when it arrived it would fit straight on, unlike the previous one…  It arrived today, like so;

Fresh from Japan

You’ll have to excuse the shoes, clothes and record player on the bed, I’ve recently been cleaning my room and that’s part of my cleaning method, to just biff stuff onto the bed…    Shhh, it works!

So I unwrapped it from it’s comparably less wrapping versus the first spoiler I bought, only to find this;

OH NOES!

...and the reverse. !SEON HO

Thankfully though, it’s only minor and I’ll be able to repair it easily. It spans about 10mm, I think I’ll want to re-enforce that edge that mates to the car regardless so it’s of little concern.

Here’s the comparison.  You can see just how much larger it is compared to the first one I bought.  It’s also of different design.

Face side. 30mm makes all the difference.

Car Side/Bottom, the newer one has a a big chunk missing!

Now, the money shots where I ran outside in the rain and taped my new piece of fibreglass onto my car for the sole purpose of seeing how cool it will look.  The answer: “Super freaking”.

Peek-a-boo!

Yus!  It fits!  Not 100% perfect but it wraps around very well and will likely only need some rubber or silicone or some such to bridge the minor gap but I won’t have to touch the glass itself.  WIN!

Oh yes, it's so deep it hurts.

Here’s the comparison shot.  I couldn’t remember the angle I took the first one on so I just guessed.

Old

New!
