Props to the first person who can find that particular trunk spoiler for sale. Don’t work too hard as I’m pretty sure it’s a custom job. Either way, I must have it!
If it is a custom job, who could I talk to about making one? There’s a race fab shop near by...good place to start?
Also this car is fucking NEAT.

Definitely talk to the race shop, although I’ve found that the good ones do great work, but at astronomical prices.
Maybe a bodyshop?
Or a BMW-specific parts designer. Preferably a smaller operation. I've had good luck going this route in the miata world

Looks like a modified Koogleworks spoiler. That have a bunch of awesome mods for the 02!

Kooglewerks was my first thought and I love that spoiler too, it’s almost what I want. This thing is just perfect though. A lot more meat than the Kooglewerks one and leaves the trunk edges untouched. It kind of reminds me of the ducktail on a 911, which I also love.

Given the rest of the work on that car, it’s gotta be custom.
Found one on eBay that’s sorta close. Think it’s just a replica Turbo spoiler though (I’m the furthest from a 2002 expert you can get).

Honestly, I prefer your car’s lines without it.

Article says it’s custom but looks just like the Koogleworks

Gotta be. I’ve actually tried the turbo spoiler on mine. A guy had ordered one for his turbo when I had mine in to have the fuel line run. They let me place it on mine and I liked it, but not on my car . I feel a similar way about the Koogleworks one, it’s just a little to “rough” for my build. This one seems perfect but I need to see it on the car.

I agree, I think it looks better without a spoiler.

I’m forever back and forth on this . I tried the “turbo” spoiler and didn’t like it on my car. The Koogleworks one is to “rough ” of a look for me/the car. This one seems like it could be a happy medium.
Unfortunately the duck- tail shaped hole in my heart that I’m trying to fill may only actually be filled by the real thing:(
I think I’m going to shape a few out of wood and see if I fall in love with any designs. The spoiler on the car that I posted is actually a little taller that the one I have in my head. So if I find a design that I like I can perfect it and paint it to be sure then I could have someone make one.
My wife bought my a router and router table for our first anniversary. She spent way more than she should have on an amateur wood worker and I have not much used either tool because routers have a fairly high setup/learning curve and for whatever reason I’m always reluctant to actually use my really nice tools haha.

Gotta be custom. Closest I’ve found i s the Pandem for the E30. You could probably get a custom one made for 1/2 the price.

That looks nice on the E30, but the one in my head isn’t even as tall as the one I posted. I think I’m going to start making some out of wood just to see if there’s a design I fall in love with. If I do then I’ll find someone to make it out of not wood and maybe paint it to match.

I dig that one, nice to see something other than the Turbo lip.

I like it, but then I’m a spoiler guy! :P
This is the guy who wants this aftermarket option spoiler for the FIAT 126p so he can put it on his car when he finally imports one...because, as you know, the FIAT 126p is a insane sports car. ;)
