Question Like the spoiler?

I took my spoiler off the other day and really like it without. Of course I like it with too. Where does everyone else stand? And who has the aluminum wing? I know it is someone, I've seen the pictures.

i took my spoiler off a few months back and liked the look.. i have a dark teal car, and i think that somehow the spoiler adds a little visual length to the car.. i didn't like the shortened look, so i drilled new holes and mounted my spoiler about 2" back from the original points.. no visible holes and i think it looks GREAT.. in its stock location, the spoiler blends into the body so well that some people don't even realize it's there.. moved back it stands on its own a little better and i think adds to the look of the car.. i'll take pictures one of these days

It's a little hard to see, but Earl's Laguna Blue has the spoiler moved back about 2". Compare it with Matt's Silver/Black to see the difference.

I definitely like the spoiler. If it wasn't for that, I probably wouldn't have bought the car.

I like two tones with out, single colors with. Mostly I think Reds and Teals need one. I'm wingless.

Whenever I repaint my car the spoiler will go bye-bye. I like the lines of the car w/o it. I doubt its functional anyway probably just adds drag.

Probably not enough drag to matter though, nor does it help in any way. Just looks!

I have a spoilerless svx. I like it, but i think i would like to have one. i am very perplexed over this issue. im not sure to get one or not. i really love both looks. they almost look like 2 completely different cars.

Ohh I totaly agree. the car deifnitely has a different look with or without. I just happen to think that it looks better without the spoiler. Not of course that it looks bad with one at all.

Are you repainting soon? I am in need of a factory spoiler.
