    Get that shit on right now! Need more pics of trap spoiler on non-flared miatas to decide if i should get one for my car or not. Do you plan to get a spoiler for the front too? Love the development on your car btw, really clean and classy build!

    It is! I fell like I'm the only one that understands all the Trap exterior parts are based on Hako pieces.

    I did plan to get a Trap front lip before mounting this, I'll just skip the front lip if one doesn't pop up for sale in the U.S. before I mount the spoiler.

    Alright, full disclosure: I bought the spoiler with the intention of holding onto it until prices rise (they will), because Trap stuff is rare and hard to get in the U.S. if you know it exists. I thought to even pull it off I would need the Trap front lip, flares and I would have to mount up some wider wheels I have sitting around. Now, I think it just need some paint and it will be mounted. Eventually.

    Trust me when I say it looks better in person, it's not something you can really appreciate in pictures. I've always thought it was ugly on 90% of miatas I've seen (which are only photos).

    My concern is the spoiler seems to be very wide and therefor need flares to get a smoother look from the rear. But after these pics i have to admit it looks great without too so might try ut out! Another thought that crossed my mind, does a trap/GV/R lip even fit on a zoom jumper? Think it looks so rounded compared to the OE bumper

    It will probably take some work but I think the Trap will fit. R/GV will not.

    at first I was like, hummm not sure about this rear wing, then once you sat it up there I am liking it a lot more, should look much better once painted too.

    Maybe later on you can add Tuckin99 short flares, and a Trap front lip and it will complete the look I "think" you are going for?

    Side is missing something though, it needs an eye catcher, maybe some OEM side markers or Zoom Engineering side markers?

    I also side with the "adding flares" camp when it's all said and done.

    that looks so good. I agree that to really pull of the wing, you need to be more aggressive or it will look out of place. I would love to see this thing painted and mounted though

    I agree with the side markers . . . they will add/ restore function too. I am surprised at how much I like the rear wing as well. I do like it.

    The more I see the wing the more I like it... The pictures that I like it in though, are all at at angle.

    Been meaning to pick up an undertray forever. Snagged one on Facebook for $20.






    And maybe I had too much fun in the rain, then damaged the elan bumper. Pics never.
