Trd or rev5?

Post by chambers360 »

What spoiler looks better with standard bodywork i like the trd but think it will look abit out of place untill i can kit the rest of the car? Opinions?

TRD spoiler looks unbalanced on stock bodywork IMHO... rev5 looks spot on though :thumleft:

With a stock car. Rev 5 hands down.

In addition. If wanting a trd spoiler, I'd only go with a genuine one. I've had a copy one from MR2ben and the quality wasn't all that great tbh. Fitted ok, but it started cracking around the spoiler posts where the 2 halves had been joined together.

Genuine items over copies will always win hands down.

I've got a TRD fitted with mix and match kit parts - it needs a widebody or arch flares to pull it off really but I still like it :thumleft:

Looks great from the back and sides, but from the front looks way OTT :lol:

At least if you buy a genuine rev 5 you will get your money back when the time comes to swap to the trd full kit :wink:
