Not alot of options unfortunatly!
www.ozeparts.com.au have the stock TR/TS spoiler, but its a flat one, some like it, i dont. I dont see the point in having a flat spoiler, it just doesn't make any sense. You could take an existing spoiler and get the mounts modded to fit your boot, and then the third option is to get a custom one done. Custom would be the most expensive.

Im going to argue and say that the flat spoiler is the best one for the TR/TS Magnas imho lol
I like it because it's low and sleek.
All other wings I've seen on TR/TS just don't suit, as the 2nd gens are very smooth and anything that's jagged like a GT wing or anytihng that's like a bathroom shelf on your boot just doesnt work.
Curved spoilers dont suit the TR/TS's to me as the boot is fairly flat. You need to make sure anything thats like a bodykit/wing etc adheres to the lines of the car that are already there.
When they do that's when things just look "right"
I would get the Ozeparts one. It's a decent price too, SSV wants about 200 bucks for theirs and it's still unpainted.
Also any reputable tint shop should be able to fit a spoiler.
Oh and in regards to a flat spoiler not making sense, they're purely asthetic, no bootlid spoiler will give any type of benefit to our cars. So they make perfect sense as they keep to the lines of the car.

Yeh i agree with you, it just comes down to your tastes. My opinion is that if your gonna spend some money making your car stand out, make it REALLY stand out. But its up to you mate, you may like the stock spoiler, you may not. I think it looks OK, but just OK. It doesn't blow you away like a ralli art spoiler (i know alot of people on here hate it but i LOVE it, we're all different). You just gotta work out what you want, look for it, and then grab it. :)

Yeah I see what you mean, I'm just a BIG fan of sleek and subtle.
I can see what you mean though. I've seen a few TR's with GT wings and one with a bodgey ralliart copy wing (I think they just bought an evo wing from ssv lol) and they looked horrid, even you would've agreed :P lol

The last one is the one I like and have (but still havent bloody put on yet! :rant: ) and the one you'd get from ozeparts.com.au and ssv.com.au
I've seen a similar 3 legged spoiler on the TR's as per the first pic (even though that is a roof spoiler on a hatchback), I didnt think it suited as much as the flat one, but hey that's just me.

I dunno wtf the 1st one is, looks like a hatchback spoiler :bowrofl: , the 2nd one is a lancer spoiler, the 3rd one is a stock 3rd gen spoiler and the 4th one is a stock 2nd gen spoiler (which is what we've been talking about).

yeh the stock ones look better than the rest without question, although the one KX_69 showed looks pretty good. but if anyone puts a GT-wing on their 2nd gen then you can :gtfo: . Seriously ugly.
