I did base the design off of a very nice spoiler that I found on the net. However, there are a few significant improvements to the design and materials on the RBK spoiler.

In Belgium it came with the "yaris connected" and "yaris by sparco" I can see 1 difference: the "gap" in the middle, not the one for the window-cleaner-thingy (sorry, I can't find the right word for it ) is this just for the looks or is it actually useful for something? And the metal plate inside is probably another difference (or an improvement as you say ). Anything else? *edit* FYI, that original toyota spoiler (painted) is about 600$!! So I don't think anyone can complain about your price Last edited by Jochen; 05-28-2009 at 02:47 PM. |

See how the ends don't follow the lines of the car? Ours does.
And the front edge is abrupt on that one, our is tapered and smooth.

Not to mention the materials on our spoilers are superior to the original. 2 layers of grade A fiberglass, with a specialized rubber foam filling to add rigidity (the original is hollow).

I am pretty sure you can screw it on from any location, since there aren't any preset holes in the RBK design. The one that we suggest is (in our opinion) the easiest/fastest one, but if you already have some holes from another spoiler, I am almost positive you will be able to mount the RBK spoiler using those.

Very nice. I'm sure if someone wanted more angle on the spoiler, it wouldn't be too hard?

Actually, that would require some cutting in order to work, and even then it wouldn't be a perfect fit. I suggest you wait for the pics from Garm and see how this tilt is the optimal one for this design.

If I had money I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Looks like the spoilers just arrived at MicroImage HQ!
Start saving those pennies! You won't be disappointed.

I've never really fabricated something like that before, but I could look into it as well. Let me know if you would like to see specific angles... I have no problems if you know about this stuff and would like to contribute to the design.

How many spoilers did Garm receive? I hope these'll be available on Friday...

Only 10 pieces were made for the first batch. Garm wants to see how quickly these will sell before (hopefully ) committing to a larger order -- and I completely agree.
