Default Opinion & pics of Tom's spoiler

Beings that I am not a fan of the stock deck spoiler, does someone here have the rear Tom's deck spoiler with comments and pics?

Hmm, couple of weeks. Must mean it's a special order item. Think I will call and order next week. I will paint myself as most (95%+) painters out there are not very good IMO even though most owners do not know the difference and are happy campers. Looking forward to some pics of your machine once it's completed.

oh yeah, i am not surprised that tom's stuff are custom ordered, they are all hella expensive. lee, seems like you are rocking some major cash too man. and seems like you will be the first "power tuner" active member here for the sc430!

lee had (has?) a gs400, supercharged. he's a lot more into performance than look, which i think most of the sc430 owners here are for. that's why i called him as a "power tuner"

Is that one of the old SRT superchagers on the GS400? Im just wondering how many actually made it out there before they discontinued making them.

I like the toms rear spoiler. I think there is a close up view of it somewhere on the forum, we pointed out the grilling on the bottom of it.

Yes, RMM made 25 complete kits and sold 20 as to have spare parts left over, so I was told by them. I bought the 2nd to last unit-so I was told again, but I did look at their inventory and it was light.

Henry, I am going for a bit more style this time around with this car. Can't really help it as the car IS style to begin with. My plans:
Wald kit
Daizen sways-ordered today through Todd @ tmengineering.net
Tein CS-not available in US-5 weeks from Japan through Todd
Wheels-ordered today Status 19's 20mm offset through d2autosport.com
Stoptech brakes-check to see if Supra TT brakes work first with above wheels
Torque Converter
LSD rear end
The spoiler listed above

Perhaps a S/C next year once we are in our new home.

still that's some very nice setup there lee! i like the "wider" setup possible on the sc430, with the tc and lsd, i think the handling of the car could be pretty good. you are not getting those tom's braces?

Henry,
I really like the Tom's upper strut mount but it will not allow for the Tein motors so I am at a crossroads on this. I was thinking of Teins H.tech (-.67 fr/-1.02 rr) or S.Tech(-1.26 frt,-1.61 rr) drop until CS's are available.
I really wish there were better pics (larger) on Carsons website. Would like to see this spoiler from different angles. Perhaps I will wait till Gee Bee has his installed first.
Lee
