    Seriously though, if you look at the stealth spoiler, it looks just like the VX spoiler except it's slightly larger front to back. It has to be the 91-96 stealth ES model though. I don't think it would look out of place like some big ricey spoiler

    Hmm, i never noticed that. I had a 91 Stealth before the VX and had the spoiler removed because I thought it was fugly. I think the stealth one is a little bit more curvacious than the vx. Good luck if you do it.

    Swapping out a poiler doesn't mean you have to make your car look like a grocery cart by adding some rediculiously huge spoiler that, on most cars, serves no purpose at all (rear down force on a front wheel drive vehicle being one of them).

    I guess my thoughts for looking in to this would allow one to be different from other VX'ers by having a spoiler that appears to share the same curvature and look but would hang over the back of the VX a little more then the stock one and maybe even be functional to a certain degree.

    I wish I could find a spare stealth spoiler but would really like to see some close up shots to share with you folks so you can invision what I'm talking about.

    I'll grab my camera on lunch break and takes pics of the one I park next to so you'll have an idea.

    I understand some mods aren't for everyone, different strokes for different folks I guess.

    I just like to find new ideas for the VX that most out there aren't willing to even consider unless everyone else is doing it or wait for someone else to try/do it first. Like the clear corner miata lights I found were pretty much identical to the VX a while back. Just something different and something simple that is easily affordable to set you aside from the rest of the herd. No one is making anything for the VX as far as mods go aside from a handfull of items, so I thought I'd just throw this out there as another possible mod

    I just went out and snapped some pics of both spoilers. Will need to wait til I get home tonight to post them. I also took a real quick messurment and it looks like the posts are about 17 inches apart on both the VX and the stealth. This was by all means not a very accurate measurement as it was starting to rain and I was more focused on getting the pics for now.

    As far as covering the back window from rain and snow, the stealth spoiler will stick out towards the back further than the VX. The stealth spoiler also feels to be of better quality than the VX, it feels thicker and heavier, it doesn't feel like plastic.

    I'll post the pics tonight and see if I can get closer measurements on both of them. That may not happen til tomorrow though.

    I think the pics I just took will give you all a better idea of how identical these two spoilers are

    I'm sure some modification will be required to actually bolt it up but not much at all. We'll see

    I think it's a great idea!

    My spoiler looks like crap...all faded. The Stealth spoiler may be an inexpensive replacement.

    Thanks fot the tip!

    Here's the pics I took of the stealth spoiler today along with some approximate specs.

    The stealth spoiler is about 4 ft wide, the VX is slightly shorter. The stealth is about 10 inches in the middle from front to back compared to the VX's approximate 6 inches. The posts are about 16 1/2 - 17 inches apart on both. Both spoilers have 3 posts (mounting). The specs are not exactly accurate but I wanted to get an idea of what we're dealing with here. I would actually need to take them both off and swap them out to see what would need to be done in order to accomplish the swap.

    Here's the pics of the car at my work parking lot. It's not mine and it looks like crap

    Let me know what ya think?

    Solution to Faded Spoiler...

    You really don't need to replace the spoiler because it's faded, all you need is Mother's Back to Black trim restorer to make ALL the black extereior parts of the VX look like new. The sun fades everything over time, so continuous maintenance with the right products will keep your vx looking like new. $4 @ AutoZone.
