This is the spoiler I have been looking at to get, I am purchasing it within like 2 weeks so I kinda want to know if it looks good or not.

IMO save your money and the embarrassment of having that on your car.It spoils the class of the car. I think that the best looking spoilers for a 3000 are the stock ones that come on the cars: either the smaller one with active aero, the round Eclipse one, or the aggressive 99' spoiler.
btw...no offense to anyone who has this wing on there car... :2cents:

meh, that spoiler on the eclipse looks horrible, I can't really tell how it would look on the 3000gt. Many would just choose that 97 or so hoop spoiler they put stock on the 3kgt but who knows. I don't mind it but wouldn't buy it myself.
This however will be of no help because the whole point of buying stuff for your car is buying stuff that YOU want and you yourself thinks looks good.
As far as the other opinions I can see some would call it rice and some would say its fine but would rather see money spent on 'go fast' parts instead of 'look fast' parts. Some just think any aftermarket spoiler is pretty much a 'ricey' product (rightfully so) but I don't know its just not conservative enough of a spoiler to shy away from the category of rice

Is on of those generic ones, so nope. There is a mercuy couger runnign around town with one of those. Usally go with a 3kgt spoiler or somthing u don't see that often. Hell if u have ne welding or fiberglass skillz make your own.

Yeah the only aftermarket spoiler that looks good IMO is the one thats in my avatar (which is probably too small to see). But then again I think that one is custom made. I've seen your spoiler on a 3S around here before, it's not that it looks bad, it just looks cheap and kinda out of place. If you can find a Supra spoiler that's big enough that would look good, not the 97 hoop (though that would look good too), i've seen a 3S with a widened Supra spoiler and it looked sick...can't find one myself though.

Over the 80 model yes. The quaters where simular the maro slightly quicker and maro is less insurance. But either car was a hold me over till i turned 19 and had enough money and insurnace drop so i could grab somthing else. which turned into the VR4 or RT/TT

RICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCE.
RICE = SLOW = NASTY = STUPID = WASTE OF MONEY = UGLY = ALL OF THE ABOVE
Don't get that unless you like to be laughed at.
not to be rude but im trying to save you. Go spend your money on performace parts. 3000GTslook to good to be messed with.

Well the story goes: It was my friends when it was twin-turbo, he had a couple 12 second runs in it, then he blew the turbos..then got it repo'd, lost his license, let it sit for a year, now it doesn't start, he moved and i kept it. I drove it after the turbos blew, it was still faster than my formula 350 even w/o the turbo's (course he had the engine bored and what not), I would rather have had that than the formula (basically the same as your decision).

they came in 2L twin turbo (not sure what engine code),
or with 3L single turbo. its a 7M engine or something.
or some of the later models came with a 1jz. 2.5 L twin turbo.

Alright.. Ive been doing some research on this spoiler, and how it costs so damn much. Here is a really quick question, with someone with a good eye.
Do you see a difference in these 2 wings?

Original 1997 3000gt spoiler is the best IMO
InfestedShadow
04-27-2005, 04:43 PM
yeah, there's a small difference,
the spoiler on the eclipse is totaly round and higher, on the 3000gt it looks more flat

Yeah I noticed that one too once I had them side by side. I am really tempted on calling and finding out the specifications on both of them to see if they would fit the stealth/3000 gt.. because there is a big difference in them. It's called the price.. heh.

For Clarification:
That first picture is not an Eclipse wing for a 3S, it's the 97+ 3000GT wing. And for your second pictures they are completely different, the Eclipse wing is much narrower and wouldn't ever look right on a 3S, and to answer your quiz, the 3S wing is a 3-piece wing.
