ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

there are some of us who are willing to put our money where our mouth is btw.. not sure how many.. but I am one.
I've noticed many more people lately pulling through and actually spending money on their cars, instead of trying to cheap out and "just get by." I'm very happy to see that it appears that every day, more and more people are realizing "mod cheap, mod twice" and "if you're doing the bare minimum, you have the wrong car/hobby," both on here and at work. Soon enough, all that will be left are the enthusiasts. We are basically an untapped market in that regard.
At any rate, I hope this turns out to be successful, both for us owners and the part production business.

It's a type of spoiler, but some people called them spoiler flares because it sort of extends the stock body line out instead of being wing like. Some called them wangan wings too, but they're really not a whaletail, which has become closely associated with 'wangan wings.'

Interior: center console/arm rest,
Window switch bezel, door panel with a place for 6.5" speakers shown instead of hidden 4", pillars (a and b)
Exterior: rear window spoiler ( goes on top of the window, not sure of actual name), valve covers, front nose...
Mine is getting built for show so I don't go cheap, I already have a cf targa so I'm looking for more rare parts...

if you are just going for show, covering the rear 1/4s and roof support will give the car a full carbon shell..... covering is much more inexpensive than actual molded parts.
as for the progress for the mk3 spoiler, i am adapting an aftermarket bmw f10- m5 spoiler into the design and retro fitting it to comply with the lines, and more importantly the overall stance of the mk3.
opinions/ suggestions.
1. incorporate 3rd brake light L.E.D
2. 3 pieces, rear right fender rear left fender hatch. or 1 piece.
3. stance.
slightly raised 1.1/ a mellow angle of assent, mechanically attached, or 3m. - or-
more raised 3" with an aggressive angle of assent. mechanically attached.

I would be game for the more mellow one. Where are you thinking about attaching/ starting the spoiler? Front, middle, or rear of hatch?
Uhm... isn't the b-pillar an exterior part? that's what I was wanting is the trim right behind the window...CarbonWorks;1911629 said:
I'm with ya on that oneGrandavi;1911874 said:
and yes, I need some mud flaps... although I wouldn't want these in carbon fiber.. would look pretty idiotic IMO... maybe just a fiberglass pannel that would fit there (with actual mudflap absent)

1. No thanks
2. 1 piece but only because I want it to directly replace my original wing
3. Mellow angle
As for the mounting it, I originally though of a mechanical mounting but I realize 3m would hold just fine and may make it more universal.

Aha.
I just googled a few pics, and realized that the original MkI Supra had one of these.
As for the particulars on the rear wing, I pretty much agree with Absolute Speed:
3rd brake light- either way is fine
Design- One piece. It shouldn't extend out to the sides as far as a whale tale.
Attatchment- STOCK bolt holes. This way, it's plug&play for existing hole hatches(and solves the leak issue),
or it's a quick drill job(and secure mount) for wingless hatches.
Style- MILD. I think it should stand on its own, and not look like some radical part that needs an entire radical body kit to make it look at home.
In other words, make a wing that looks like it could have been another factory option.
