Try the small ads in Max Power magazine. Sorry, a spoiler will ruin the looks of the T350 IMO and carbon add ons are an acquired taste.

nono, especially that thing on the rear.

The T350 looks stunning as it is, best leave it that way imo.

fair point , at the moment just looking for feed back.

the idea was to create more rear stability (like the sagaris)

do you not like the sag rear wing ?

i think the rear flap on the sag looks ok - firstly it's clear so it's not as obvious, but also the sag has ridiculous scoops, lines and vents everywhere so seems to suit the car more.

imo the T350 has classic unspoilt lines and shouldn't be altered.

The CF trims around the rear quarter lights looks great; finishes of the job nicely (and hides those screws that are sometimes needed to keep the windows from blowing out at speed).

I wonder what the car would look like with a simple thin Sagaris like rear spoiler, perhaps do that in CF. You could also do the spoiler hangers with CF.

I like the rear window surrounds.

They would cover up the marks where the black trim has come away fron the glass on both my rear windows.

Do you have a problem with stability then? I tend not to change lane too much at 150mph, but I'm sure a spoiler won't make things feel that much more stable. I suggest there are other ways to solve it - starting with suspension alignment, and if you're still not happy then a suspension upgrade. A spoiler like that will slow you down - the angle is wrong too.

The carbon bits in that photo look so stuck-on its embarrassing. They make the glass (plastic) area look smaller and give the side profile a weird look IMHO. Each to their own though. Like I said - look in the Max Power ads - I was serious! You can buy sheets of this stuff to stick all over.

The rear spoiler would look good with the clear glass, like the SAg. OR.......colour coded to match the body..

The CF trim around the rear windows will nicelt suit a darker colour body.

I don't think the mods are too 'Max power' if they are blended in with colours.

Andy I think I agree with most of the other replys here, I think the rear spoiler looks a bit out of place but do like the window surounds.

leave it alone.
lets not go down the barrified route, t350 is a t350 and is designed to be so.
The lines as stated in other posts should stay so.
but that is my opinion of course.
hideous

First i thought the Carbon fibre looked good, but on closer inspection, it looks hideous, i hate the way it cuts into the flowing lines of the original glass.

I dont need to comment on the spoiler, enough said already .

Of course this is just my opinion

I own an identical T350T in midas halcyon, it is an 05 reg. I am very keen to put sag spoiler on rear. I got one at two thirds height and tinted from Edward Quick along with my decats. It had reduced height brackets also. X Works service could not get it to line up right so I did not fit it. I still want a clear spoiler. In carbon it might look ok, yours might even look good in body colour IMHO. I do not think a sag spoiler takes away from a T350, yes it makes it look like a Sag a bit but whats wrong with that? I do prefer a spoiler with a bit of tint rather than clear. I wanted a T so I could get a some wind in my hair like my chim.

If we were all the same life would be dull, vive la diference!

Anyone know how to fit 4 point harnesses to a T350? I am planning on making a stainless strut between both seat belt points as fitted and put 4 studs to take top straps for pilot and co pilot, any ideas?

I don't like any of those mods. I agree that the T350 is best left smooth and unfussy.

on my car the rear windows have both blown out, and my idea was to screwfix them securely to the car,then covering the screw heads with a very thin c/f cover ,also the area painted black on them is abit scruffy (paint and sealer)the c/f does look ok on the car, in the picture i had only placed the surrounds on to give effect.
