Is it a wing or a spoiler? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Bethlehem-yaris · 04-21-2012, 10:16 PM

Please tell me what you all think I should call it. A wing or a spoiler?

http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota...r00185350.html

I checked with my old buddies the back hatch op# did not change with the facelift in 2009. So it will fit mine...

Dropped it off at the body shop on 4-20. Hoping it will be ready for a install on 4-25. (Friday, Monday, Tuesday) That should be enough time for them to sand and paint right?

Spoiler. Wing stands off the car.

*kimona* · 04-21-2012, 11:23 PM

Looks like a wing to me.

The part your refering to is a wing,(as the desciption states).
Depending how busy the body shop is,they might get this
finished by then.

I cant see good enough in those pics... Air passes over and under a wing, air only passes over a spoiler.

why? · 04-22-2012, 06:56 PM

just call it sexy and that is fine. Almost looks like a C-One knockoff, and it is a darn good price too.

Seriously, Extreme Dimensions for $200, unpainted? I can do a lot better guys - we have an account with them.

LOL, no:

No, those are two terms that mean exactly the same thing.

and yes, 3 days should be plenty to prep and shoot it, if it's primed and has no damage.

Bethlehem-yaris · 04-22-2012, 10:04 PM

New here and I hadn't heard of yah yet.... I plan on getting my stuff through you in the future. :)

cali yaris · 04-22-2012, 11:18 PM

Not a problem, sorry to jack your thread. Please post pics up when you get it back from the shop.

cali yaris · 04-22-2012, 11:52 PM

I've never heard of that. You're saying these wings aren't providing downforce?

eTiMaGo · 04-23-2012, 06:43 AM

these wings could make it fly!

OTA'sTOY · 04-23-2012, 02:33 PM

just to confuse the future

Actually, a "wing" usually creates down force either in the front or rear.

A "spoiler" gets its name because it literally spoils the air flow and is usally fitted on the rear to spoil the air flow to reduce any low pressure in the rear thus increasing speed a bit.
A spoiler by definition is not designed to create any down force.

Of course, both are only effective at high speeds.

BTW, the part in question from the OP looks like a spoiler to me.

I would prob say that it is a spoiler on something. Took it on the highway and it drove great!

I also had them de badge the back side.

cali yaris · 04-25-2012, 04:54 PM

^ Paint job looks really good!

why? · 04-25-2012, 05:25 PM
