X wing modified to look like VIII/IX!!!

Hi,

Hoping someone can tell me who makes the kit that puts side and top panels on the X SSS spoiler. I always hoped someone would do this and to my surprise I saw a pic of this exact mod in a Google image search. Check this out....it looks great and makes the X spoiler look more like the 8/9 spoiler. Any info anyone may have about this...would be greatly appreciated. Was about to install a 9 spoiler on my X but this looks like the ultimate solution.

Thanks for reading!

I personally would just go with an Evo 9 spoiler rather than adding the panels. Looks a lot better and more clean. If you look around hard enough there's a few companies that make a spoiler like this.

Yeah, I ended up doing just that (got a 9 spoiler). My X has the low GSR spoiler so I got an SSS high model to swap. Then I decided I love the way the car looks with the 8/9 spoiler and got one off the internet. I do like the looks of this mod, however & would consider using the SSS spoiler if I had access to these parts. I did see a company by the name of DAMD that I believe makes these in Japan. Very expensive from what I have seen & it is referred to as "spoiler garnish." When I see pics of the X (which never did it for me visually like the 8 and especially 9 does) I get that good old "I love evo's feeling" as they look like an updated version of the 9 vs a totally different car.

Thanks for the image. I did see these but my experience with ANYTHING not OEM has been very bad when it comes to spoilers and body kits. I haven't seen a company that makes fiberglass/duraflex products that are OEM quality. Even carbon fiber tends to be very wavy and look poor in the aftermarket. Just my experience though....
