hi i have been wanting to get a trd c/f midblade wing for the longest but im not sure if it would look tacky on a stock body. pics would help alot..... but i do plan on getting a body kit in the future..... also what is the best place to buy them and where could i get a 3rd brake light cover? and does anybody have any pics of that in c/f or white? thank in advance also...
my car is white and the only other c/f parts i have are my windshield wipers and my rear inserts. but i will buy a c/f hood scoop to make it flow better until i save enough to but the hood i want. the c-one v.2 hood :)

Imo, a TRD spoiler (cf mid blade or not) never really looks good on a stock body, unless dropped really low. It just looks really akward and tall. I would wait to get a body kit, and then get the spoiler. Carbon fiber can look good on a white car if it's balanced. Like, a cf hood scoop will look odd on a completely stock celi without another drop of dark/carbon fiber.

As for the midblade you found on ebay, I've never bought one, and I haven't heard of anyone's experience who has bought one from there, but it's likely that something will be wrong with it...either the weave will be messed up, it will be poorly wrapped, the fitment will suck, etc. Unless it's a reputable vendor, or it's a product with a brand attached to it, you are always taking a gamble with something like this on ebay.

Well from looking at his feedback. It seems that about 5 people within the past 2months w/ celicas have bought that same wing from him w/ positive feedback. Sounds pretty legit to me. I guess it would just be a matter of chance.

Yeah i bought one!

fitment is awesome, and the cf weave is flawless and the fiber glass sides are nice and thick so i thought it was an awesome deal.
ow i also did the best offer thing, so i only paid 115US for it + delivery/
I havnt installed it yet since im waiting for the sides to be painted.

ow and one more thing, arrived with in 7days and was the best packaged part ive evr got. It took me a good 20mins to get it out the box and undo the 1000ms of bubble rap lol

I picked up one about 2 months ago, have to say the fitment and looks are nice. Part of the wing was damaged and i notified the dealer, sent him some pics of the damage, and got a replacement within a week and a half, no cost. It sucks that i had to pay $150 for shipping, but well, it was worth it. I have pics in my profile if you want to take a look. Still working on my car, making upgrades early next year.
