Hi,
Lately I've been talking with Erebuni about making a version of their 754 wing, which is similar to the Hiro wing, that would work for coupes and convertibles. Below are a couple pics of this wing on a hatchback, and a couple pics of the real Hiro wings on both a Curren and Celica hatchback.

Erebuni told me that in order for them to make this wing, we'd first need to find someone with a coupe or convertible to go to Brooklyn, NY and leave their car with them for a month, so that they could make the wing fit. This person would get the wing for free.

We'd also need ten other people who would pay $397 shipped to anywhere in the US for this wing. I'd need to collect this money and it'd need to be sent to Erebuni before they would start working on the car in NY.

I'm just curious as to how many people would be interested in doing this. I think the wing would look sweet, even though it's pretty big, and I'd love to have one. smile.gif

Also, I thought about asking them if they could make a TRD replica wing for coupes and convertibles. I have a feeling that they may not be able to do this though, because they wouldn't have a wing to base it off of, but it could never hurt to ask if there's interest. wink.gif Would you guys be more interested in this wing?

Edit: Here's a couple more photos I just found that will help to convince you guys. wink.gif

It'd be just like their 754 wing for the hatchback, only it would fit the coupe and convertible. So it'd be just like the DG_Performance's orange Celica in the picture above, except it would fit the coupes/verts. wink.gif

They're 18" and they're made by Fittipaldi, but I'm not sure exactly which model they are.

I looked up the Fittipaldi wheels, and I couldn't find much. I'm guessing those wheels aren't in production anymore.

Sorry, but that would be just way too big for my coupe, and twice as heavy as my current spoiler, a GT style wing. By the way Coomer, would you like me to add my spoiler (JSP America wing, I know model # also) to the parts database? I am not sure if anyone has this wing on their coupe here, but amazingly the back lip of this wing actually runs with the curvature of the coupe trunk. If anyone is into this kinda wing, it looks really good on the car. Thanks.

Check out the parts database, and you can find information about the Wings West Supra-style spoiler for the coupe. It's very high quality and fitment is perfect from what I hear.
