After the final redesign is done... hopefully by late next week... TRF will start taking orders for the spoiler. I believe there will be a special introductory price for first 10 buyers and SE members.

Final production spoiler pictures will be posted once it's done.

I was told that final product should be ready by mid to late January. So start saving up for those interested in the spoiler...the spoiler makes the tC alot more "complete" IMO.

I'm not sure of the cost...but TRF have informed me that it will be in the area of $275 to $300.

The lip will be easy install with no drilling required and it has a cutout around the 3rd brake light...and actually looks factory.



That is exactly what i was waiting for, sly and smooth!
i want one for sure!, now about the paint match, will it match, or is it unpainted?

yeah... I was skeptical at first. But after a week of driving on it...and even attempting to pry it off, it won't budge. These are not your conventional double sided tape...it's industrial 3M tape. There is alot of surface area that contours the spoiler..so it's really sturdy. I like the fact that it's double sided tape..so u can take it off without damaging your trunk...not to mention, you don't have to drill holes.

Hotness... that should cut down on any installation costs other than painting. Very nice. Can't wait to see the final production pictures.

TRF will offer them unpainted initially. However, TIM @ TRF have mentioned that he might offer the spoiler factory painted matched at additional cost.

The unpainted spoiler will retail between $275 and $300. As mentioned before, the first 10 buyers will get special introductory discount.

most definitely...

once the final product is released... there will be a short list for first 10 buyers at special discounted price. Thereafter... it will retail as mentioned above.

if anyone would like to contact Tim... e-mail him : tim@trfusa.com

the website is still under construction, but he checks his e-mail often.

The spoiler kind of looks like the one for the Solara. Pretty good though, but will it be available as a bolt-on? The idea of tape failing in extreme hot or extreme cold bugs me.

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the props and feedbacks

I still need to clean up the lines and make sure everything fits properly
Like Alex mentioned earlier, it will be available soon!

I know a lot of you were worry about the way this spoiler use double stick tape to mount. I have all my spoilers mounted using double stick tape on my personal cars. The industrial grade 3M tapes that most body shop uses are the same grade that car manufactures use on the molding and badges. You know how hard it is just to remove your badge and think about this whole spoiler is stilling on the tape. Good thing about this tape is that it will not damage your paint even though it is that strong. If you want extra security and don't mind to drill on your car, you can use self tap screws to go from inside of the trunk to the spoiler and that will hold the spoiler in place.

The way this spoiler designed is to increase your down force, which means the wind will push the spoiler down against your car, and there are no opening or gap in between so there is no lifting force to lift the spoiler up.

I will be doing more tests and fast driving and see how the spoiler holds. :D

maybe...i'll talk to Tim about it.

You have to see the spoiler in person to appreciate the design and flow. I will take more pix from the profile angle. But keep in mind that this is only a prototype..the final product will look even better and sleeker.
