Kia Stinger Rear Spoiler Discussion

[Billy M]

I'd just like to say all these spoilers look better than the ridiculous retractable spoiler on an A7 that looks like closet door that's half closed.

Had my spoiler installed today, very happy with the result

have a photo of the whole car from the side, like a couple others, I like to see how they make the car look as a whole.

How about that one?

had this on my miata track car, my wife hated it, but I found it added just the right amount of downforce!

Guys I found this and I really like it.
The Spoiler and those things on the Roof (whatever they are called)
does anyone know what brand it is

I loved this one too, this is the spoiler from Maxton, received it in the mail a couple of days ago and it’s junk, it looks like a piece of plexiglass that was cut and bent and shipped. And mine wasn’t cut straight, the lip on one side of the spoiler was shorter than the other. The lip of the spoiler looked like it had been cut and not finished, the edge looked like raw plexiglass. I’ll take more pics before it’s returned.

Sorry to hear that. I was pretty set on the Maxton rear deck spoiler as well.

Would you post the pictures here? I'd like to see it as well.

Thanks

Maxton spoiler is just a piece of plastic profile cut and shaped a bit, it's not a bulky spoiler people are used to. I have one in glossy black finish in stock, ready to ship.

Here's what I have at the moment, I'd like to get more detail here.

In IMG_2124, the "grey" ish section just looks like cut plexiglass, you can see some minor chipping on the "sharp" edges. In 2121 and 2122 you can see how the "lip" of the spoiler (using my finger for reference where it ends" ends right in the corner on one side, but ends about an inch short on the other side. You can see pretty clearly in 2121 and 2122 that the edge opposite my finger is polished and rounded, and doesn't just look "cut" like the other edge. The "cut" edge is what you would see if you were approaching the trunk of the car, in all it's chipped glory. Maxton Canada confirmed that this is how it's supposed to be, I find that surprising.

edit: one other minor gripe with the spoiler is that there's a maxton design sticker in the middle of the spoiler, and it's upside down. If you approached the car from behind, "maxton design" would be upside down, it'd only be readable if you were looking at the car from up on the roof. ‍

If it is noticeable you might want to try a small strip of black vinyl to cover that edge? I recently received my front lip and side skirts from Maxton and I am very happy with quality.

Not a chance, it’s getting returned

Thanks for the pictures. That is definitely giving me second thoughts about it.

Good luck with the return process!

Has anyone had dealings with Import Shark lately? I'm looking at the M&S type G spoiler.
$160. @ Import Shark as opposed to $256 at our Vendors.
However there are previous bad reviews about Import Shark.

What's your price? It's an alternative to the Type G.

amazon.ca 236 delivered , basically cheaper than Sharky factoring exchange and Duty and shipping

NO !

 

[Kiksbut]

What I meant by alternative is, I'm kind of growing on the style.

There’s another thread right now with two of our members having a problem with Import Shark. Save your sanity buy elsewhere.

I’ve had a mixed experience with import shark this year. Ordered the type g spoiler color matched (ceramic silver) and it arrived a month later in perfect condition. Then a few months later I ordered the rear diffuser color matched (ceramic silver) but it arrived in (silky silver). I was refunded the $70 for the paint and had to take it to a local shop to get it painted the correct color which cost $200.. so I lost $130 because someone on their end couldn’t read.

 

[Kiksbut]

I will definitely stay a way.
Thanks
