Aftermarket Spoiler Opinions

[dgwood12]

I found this a site called Spoiler Source that looks like they sell the same style as espoiler did (with the led on the bottom edge of the spoiler).

2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner Factory Style Rear Spoiler

Looks like it is $139 for a painted spoiler. I'm thinking that this might be the same quality spoiler that espoiler sold and that espoiler was just a distributor of these which are manufactured by someone else. I've found several other spoiler websites that have the same spoiler but are more pricey for a painted one.

espoiler

I tried through their "CONTACT US" link on the bottom of the espoiler website and got a reply from a company called Advan Emotion saying "Please contact our customer service 629-269-6560 for additional information." I did and talked with someone who would be happy to take my order over the phone, but I'm not that trusting. He said they were working on the website and should be back up before long, but I didn't get good info on what the web address would be. Also, price quoted was around $118, so some inflation has evidently crept in. I was unable to confirm with him that the spoiler they would be selling was the one previously from espoiler, which could be important based on the comments I saw in this thread about quality differences. I'd hate to order one and find they were selling the crappy eBay version.

It looks like Advan Emotion is a legit seller but I could not find any 4th gen spoilers on their site (Auto Accessories, Car Parts - Advan Emotion Inc). I would ask for photos prior to purchase so you can confirm it is the same spoiler style as the one espoiler sells.

Ordered an advan emotion spoiler off amazon (unpainted) for $79 this past weekend. My wife said it was just delivered. I'll let you guys know of the quality and style.

Here are some pics of the advan emotion spoiler. Just came yesterday. $79.99 off amazon w/ free shipping.







Once I paint it and get it mounted, I'll give you my thoughts on fitment.

That one looks great. Appears as though it has the same light, mounting bolts and shape. Did it come with the foam to put around the perimeter of the part that rests on the vehicle? I am assuming that they didn't put it on this one because it isn't painted yet. My painted one also came fully assembled so it looks like you will have to fish then light wire through the spoiler on this one. Looks identical to my espoiler spoiler though!

Yeah it has the self adhesive foam in the bag with the hardware. I just didn't take a pic of it. No big deal on the wiring for me.

Sweet. Looks like this is the exact same as the eSpoiler spoilers then.

I'm having the hardest time finding a painted driftwood pearl spoiler for under $250. Has anybody had any luck finding one in the past?

Have you called any local body shops to get quotes on painting one? Maybe it would be cheaper to buy it unpainted and have someone paint it.

I have not. The first spoiler I purchased prior to my espoiler version was from ebay. The seller was autowingandspoilerking. I do not suggest purchasing a spoiler from this seller as this is the spoiler that was a piece of junk.

Painted the spoiler yesterday. I'll install it sometime this week. Having a newborn kinda puts a damper on vehicle time ;-)

Looks good! What did you paint it with?

Duplicolor perfect match rattle cans.

I did a coat of adhesion promoter, 4 coats of base, and 4 coats of clear (2 light, 2 heavy).

Matches pretty well. Haven't officially installed it yet but it looks good in the garage.

looks good!

I might get this one.

Factory hump-style spoiler for sale

Hey everyone,

I have an original Toyota factory hump-style spoiler that I'm looking to sell. It's in great shape, factory color Natural White (paint code 056), includes the brake light (which has a couple of cracks in it, but appears to be functional), but does not include the two mounting screws.

If you're interested, I was hoping to get $150 for it. Let me know, and I'll go into more detail if you like.

Thanks!

Hey, would you be willing to ship to Canada? Would I also be able to get a couple pictures? Thanks.

 

[Domestique]

Hey! Sorry for the delay, been out of town.

I would be happy to ship it anywhere you like, but it would be at your expense. I have some pictures, but am having trouble getting them to appear here. If you want to give me an e-mail address, I'll send them to you. Sorry if that's less convenient.
