High DuckTail Spoiler for NA Miata (Gauging Interest)

[Phatmiata]

Anyone interested in a high spoiler like this but with the 3rd brake light?

Saito-san is working with some companies in Japan to make one. He wanted to know if there is any interest.

Most likely he will work with Murase-san on this project as he already makes the widebody M2-1006 Kit in Japan.

I think if someone would make a ducktail spoiler with quarter extensions, it'd look better. I've always liked how the R-pack spoiler extended over the quarters just a bit and followed the lines of them.

Without the quarter extensions, the ducktail spoilers, while still looking great, break up the flow of the body lines of the rear to my eyes.

I've been wanting a YSCC for a while so I'd be interested, with or without brake light. All the other high ducktails on the market are just not quite right to me.

[AutOtaku]

im, with jamie on this. something similar to a mugen wing off a CRX would be interesting

[Vegard]

Is that exhaust pitcrew? (sorry for off topic)

[Dandy]

Interesting but I doubt I could actually pull the trigger on something like this. I'd have to see a lot more pictures to be won over.

How about a couple photos ???

[Phatmiata]

The plan is to use a similar design like this and make a high ducktail version.

Druz how did I know you would like this?? Lol.

I've got the YSCC ducktail on my corns car. I like the retro nature of it.

Very are: afaik that's a pitcrew exhaust as looks the same as I have.

I'm not a huge fan of the super upright spoiler. it can be done right, why not a flatter spoiler like the do luck trunk for the WRX? GV makes a somewhat similar but less aggressive trunk for the NA.

i second the subtle extended trunk lip like the one above. though, i would like to point out that the WRX sedan in which the car is pictured, is generally more boxier in shape than the Miata, which is round, so the trunk may not suit well with the Miata's lines, per se. i'm not really a fan of high angled duck tail spoiler/trunks, like Autokonexion's current "NASCAR style 3pc" version.. but i'm not really against the idea at the same time. i feel like spoilers like that, require fender flares to offset the visual disruption of the car's natural lines that is caused by the spoiler/trunk.

Think you maybe right. Arches are need to pull the whole look together. Reference the spoiler above GV sell its a m2 item. I thought about it for one of my cars. Would like to see one on a car either here or in the UK.

[tanakapz]

Here's a reference pic of the GV 1006 trunk. I think if this one were slightly more upright, and obviously at friendlier prices, could be a huge seller.

You're talking about the axis power racing trunk.

[Phatmiata]

You're talking about the axis power racing trunk.

You mean Jason? From the East Coast? He makes really nice parts, but you have to wait a very long time for the parts to be made, and pre-pay in advance. Hummmmm kinda like parts from Japan, but here in the USA. :teehee:

[iKhanh]

according to that GTR trunk they have on the Axis Power Racing website, it looks pretty cool actually.

[MrPoy]

I'll get in on this! I've been actually wanting to buy the touge run duckbill spoiler for my miata. If the spoiler looks similar or better, ill purchase one!

[Phatmiata]

okay so Trap might be a no-go as he has a lot of other projects he is working on. But Saito-san went ahead and took a trip to visit to JetStream, and they are very interested in a high style spoiler.

Here is the current one. They plan to make a newer version similar to this style with the 3rd brake light open as some places require that 3rd light.

www.carbonmiata.com makes one but the edges are a bit more square.

[mikeeeee]

I would love this. Perfect with my wide fenders. Subbed!

[Phatmiata]

OKay looks like they will custom cut the tails they have in production if you guys want the 3rd brake light option, as I know some states in the USA crack down on this stuff.


Ducktail.
Answer from "jetstream".
Because of continuous hard-work They cannot release new items at this time.
But customizing for 3rd lamp hole by extra charge(+10,000JPY) is optional.

I'd love to see a 1028 style boot lid with a third tail light.

[Phatmiata]

Marakumi Motors makes one, I don't think it has the 3rd brake light though, but for the low low price of ...... (insert yen here) :teehee:

[Flyin 92]

Exactly why I'd like a less expensive alternative lol

I'd love a real 1028 lid, buuuuutttttt $1000+ is a bit steep. I also love the murakami, but again the prices are always ridiculous.

[druz]

Luckily I've finally found the ducktail I've been looking for :D

Such a tease........ where is the link to your thread with photos?

sorry if this isn't appropriate for this thread but I just came across this and it fits with the basic theme:

This appears to be a UK company doin' some stuff with ducktails. I don't know anything about them but for those interested in ducktails, or even making them, they may want to know that this producer of ducktails is out there. Looks like NA & NB, full lid as well as spoiler, with or without cutout for brake light.

That Russell (Vindi on here) who does the spoilers. I have had one and they are nice quality.

That's Russell's design... Member "Vindi49"

I have one as well. I did a test fit with adhesive tape, but I now plan on making it permanent... rivets and blending to the trunk lid.

^ Wow that looks freakin nice. Having one of those will hide the little dings I have on my trunk lid. I gotta save up for one of those.

[vindi49]

Ha ha, fame at last!! Weird to be reading a thread and suddenly come across a pic of your car ... which reminds me, I really ought to get on and get it back on the road again!

Any updates on a high ducktail with 3rd brake light option?

[Phatmiata]

Any updates on a high ducktail with 3rd brake light option?

They said YES, but it would be a custom order charge, like made-to-order.

I will most likely do this for my car so Ill let you know how much after I get a quote back
