Talking Duckbill/Rocket Bunny-style wing

It's not everyone's taste but it is mines and was kinda hoping if anyone can find this spoiler for me. He happens to be a memeber here on CL and goes by "lewapb". His gs300 (3GS) 2jz-powered car is nuts and what caught my attention is his wing that he has. I don't know if it's custom or happens to be an aftermarket.






If anyone happens to find info on purchasing this wing, that would be great.
To find more info on this car, it's on Facebook projekt 86 and its written in Russian I think.
$10 PayPal is offered if info is available to purchase, if it's custom fitted, then I'd like to know how at least cause damn I love this wing. Thanks for your time!

it definitely is a custom mold or a mold from another car. in my opinion rocket bunny kits are sick! but without the whole body kit the wing just doesn't look good by itself.

and you being in Northridge, CA im sure there are millions of places that do custom body work. if your willing to pay for it and make the drive hit up YogiFTLC im sure his shop can do it, i mean look at his car.

and if you dont want to drive far you can try A&A Autoworks in Van Nuys. Im sure they can mold something for you. they've made cars for numerous events, shows, and movies.

good luck bro!

Ya that looks custom

Look up a wald rear spoiler for a LEXUS IS250 06-13

Its kind of close but more subtle, fiberglass replicas can be found on ebay for cheap. Maybe you can buy one cut it in the center and add a fiberglass spacer. Then have it molded to the trunk, I think that would look unique

I don't think its fiberglass... I can understand molding it in a custom way for a perfect fitment but on the third picture up close shows more of a glossy carbon fiber make. I just wanna rule out aftermarket before I can go this route. Was wondering if there was any Russian translators that can dig through this? Lol man I want this bad.

Yeah man I'm all over Craigslist/eBay and they have em for the 2gs/4gs. Why skip the 3gs? I feel like our 3gs spoilers are boring for my taste and APR wings are a too much wing for me, lol so somewhere in the middle lands this duckbill to my liking.

I ruled out wald cause that spoiler has more of a rounded/curved edges as it's more towards of a 240sx rocket bunny spoiler. Maybe I'll look more towards rocket bunny and find a trunk that's similar to ours?

Personally, looks kinda off. Such a straight piece for a car that is so curvy, but just my opinion. But then again I did stick a big *** wing to a luxury car
