It's an AC Schnitzer trunk spoiler and you can get one from CarLab. I'm picking up the roof spoiler from there today.

Or you can get the replicas from www.silviaparts.com and save a load of money.

BTW, have you checked the Meet & Greet thread lately? Lots of updates.
Do you mind me asking how much carlabs is charging? I got me car lowered there. Nice guys...nice cars over there too.

I didn't get the trunk spoiler from Darwin. I got it used from a friend in Orange County. But I asked Darwin and the cost is $735 with paint and installation. He remembers you and said you can give him a call.

Just picked up my car with the new ACS roof spoiler and AngeliBright bulbs....

Hey Eurofan, would you happen to know the difference between the AC replica spoiler on silviaparts.com compared to an authentic AC spoiler other than the name (i.e quality of the part etc...)

Hey Adrian,
To be honest, I personally don't know what the differences are. I looked on AC Schnitzer's and CEC Wheels' sites but they don't say what the spoilers are made of. On the other hand, SilviaParts says their spoilers are made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (RFP).

Supposedly, authentic parts should fit better. You should ask Darwin, he should know. There are quite a few threads on this forum about the SilviaParts items. There was one that showed how the spoiler even has an AC Schnitzer serial number or something on the side that's mounted to the car. In hindsight I should have just gotten the SilviaParts stuff and used the savings on other stuff.

Come to think of it, my used trunk spoiler could be a replica for all I know. I got it for only $300 so what I thought was a savings could actually be someone ripping me off. hahaha

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I got the roof spoiler from Darwin for $500 with paint and installation. CEC lists the part for $510 unpainted.

Sorry for rambling on. ARE YOU COMING TO THE MEET NEXT SAT?
