When I had the ST202 I really liked the look of the 3 post spoiler.
When I upgraded to the ST205 I had the WRC spoiler with blocks. I tried the all carbon WRC look but never did quite liked it so I went spoiler less for a few years now.

Now I've managed to get the look I wanted.
The Esprit spoiler looks a lot like the ST202 3 post but raised like the GT4.
I mad some custom spoiler legs to seat the 6G boot perfectly.

Haters are gona hate especially the die hard GT4 fans but I love the new look and here's a polite **** you cos I'm loving this look. smile.gif

Actually its not from a Lotus Esprit.
Esprit makes parts for japanese sports cars. This particular one I modded was from a Skyline R35 Esprit spoiler. Google image it.
There is no brake light, adjustable in 2 heights and is flatter in the middle with a flaired back edge.
I basically chopped it down the middle and shortened the width by 6 inches so it fallows the shape of the 6G. Then built the base of the legs up and grafted it to the same shape of the 6G boot.
When that was done I had the entire thing remade in Carbon.

if you remade it in carbon do you still have the one you chopped up? lol
