Default Spoiler

I see alot of bodies with sick looking spoilers/wings but can't seem to find them. I don't think there stock with the bodies so I've been looking for the spoilers them self. Anyone no where to find wings, mirrors or anything else to sick your car out with?..lol
Thanks..

Hpi has two sets that I know of for mirrors.. Type A doesn't have wipers but it does have an intercooler.

Type A:

Type B:

Tamiya has a set as well and probably the best one to go with if you want wipers/intercooler/mirrors.

If you want those realistic looking wings that are made from real aluminum and carbon fiber, you're going to have to look on sites that are based in Japan.

Here is a good one: http://www.genkidoridori.com/index.p...=index&cPath=4

Or if you have the time and patience, DIY your own. Believe me, you can get some pretty awsome results.

Wow that is one sick looking spoiler. Would be fun to try to make one but not sure if I could make it look so smooth. Ihave a new body coming and when I get it I plan on getting measurements and things for the idea of making my own.

Well for this shogun spoiler, with it not being flat sided. I need to use really thin clear plastic and effectively make 2 pieces the same (Spoiler without the actual wing). This is so i can paint the top of 1, and the bottom of the other, then glue them togeather so that its like its painted from the inside if you understand what i mean. Then make and paint the actual wing and put it togeather.

I'm working on it, still toying with ideas and stuff... I take major time on my projects, but they  end up being uber sweet when finished. Currently working on the bodykit. Will post pics as soon as.

If you want to start making bodykits and stuff, first things first. You will need a vaccuum former. Make one...

Once youve done that, your ready to go.

Sorry, you wont need a vac former for wings really, unless you're being super adventurous. Just for bodykits and stuff.
