What spoiler is this?

Postby chrono807 » Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:27 pm

I saw this picture in the "sticky'ed" Toyota color chart (it's under the Gen 1 Solara section, Indigo Ink Pearl). What kind of spoiler is that?

I think it looks kind of like the spoiler on the Accord coupes, but I doubt that's what it is. I've scoured the forums looking for the answer but couldn't find one, so hopefully the owner of that car is a member here!

not really the most desireable one in my opinion, but to each his own :D

Looks like a spoiler off an Acura CL If you really want I can measure my dads and see if it will work on the lara. You can find them on ebay fairly often.


Look behind the bike

And a different car but another shot of a CL with the same spoiler

I'll go way out on a limb and assume it WON'T be a direct bolt-on lol... what would be involved, plug the original holes and drill new ones? If it fits i mean.

All you would have to do is have a body shop fill the holes in your trunk and bolt the new one on... it would be super easy.

I think it actually looks pretty clean IMO, the CL's body lines are very similar to the solara. Props for being into something different, I say go for it!

I find it odd that the spoiler on that site, which is advertised for the Solara, is pictured on an Accord coupe.

I'm going to contact the site that's selling the spoiler and find out if it's just a spoiler from an Accord, or if it's actually made as a bolt-on for the Solara. I'll report back with more info.

Don't mean to revive a semi-dead topic, but I saw this spoiler on an ORANGE Gen 1 today. Doesn't look too bad...

It was a nice orange color too, almost like the Le Mans Sunset on the 350Z. Like a burnt orange color. CL spoiler. Looked good in person.

I have seen the first spoiler on a car that I'll assume was stock (middle age lady driver)

I thought it looked better than the lip extension that most gen1's have.

OK...so I saw another one today in a completely different town. Gen 1, silver, completely stock. Except that spoiler. It's much smaller than the first picture of the blue one. The fitment is PERFECT on this car I saw. I'm starting to wonder if they're factory...lol.

It was driven by an older woman so it's probably a pre-owned or her teen got their hands on her car or something I don't know. All I can say is "sick". The fitment is PERFECT on it, it doesn't look as sleek and sexy as the original spoiler we have but it's more sporty.
