I'm looking for a more aggressive stance. I've got a beautiful brilliant red ti that I'm swapping in an M52 and I found and bought the same color rear M-tech spoiler but haven't installed it yet. What's the general consensus on the look of this spoiler on our ti's? I'll be lowering with H&R sport springs & Bilstein sports. Thanks in advance |  |  | | 06-14-2011, 03:21 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 |
Just my opinion, but I think that spoilers on ti's are a little over the top. One reason: unless a ti has had an engine transplant and is a track car, a spoiler serves no functional purpose. If a part doesn't serve a purpose, don't put it on the car. My philosophy anyway. | | | | | 06-15-2011, 04:13 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
the M-tech spoiler serves no purpose other than cosmetics anyway, I think the M-tech spoiler looks pretty good on the ti | | | | | 06-15-2011, 07:19 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 |
Spoilers are over rated on a ti...... | | | | | 06-15-2011, 07:23 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 |
a spoiler with 100 square inches provides significant downforce at < 40 MPH.
If its a functional design, I say go for it.
I'm about function,,, screw looks... LOL

I have a TI Mtech spoiler on one of my TI's and none on the other. The one with looks so much better IMO...Spoiler all the way | | | | | 06-16-2011, 02:12 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 |
I have an ACS replica rear "spoiler" sitting in my garage waiting for the day I get my new ti shell. It is not so much a spoiler as a hatchlid extender | | | | | 06-16-2011, 02:49 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
The M tech spoiler looks fantastic in person, I've never seen a picture that captured it correctly though. __________________ ~Dave~
