Am I the only loser who prefers the US spoiler??
Im trying to decide whether or not I want to go with a JDM spoiler but I honestly think i prefer the US version. From behind the JDM is more attractive but from the side it just doesnt follow the lines of the car as well. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Am I the only loser that doesn't know what the difference is?
Tell me which spoiler is on the car I own and I will tell you which one I prefer. I have a '92 and I think the one on my car is perfect. If I had your car I'd say that one is perfect.

No
No, you are not the only one that prefers the US style stock spoiler. I actually think the vast majority do, but most are not very vocal about it. Now if they had one like the original concept car I think most would prefer it, but until then I have seen nothing that beats stock.

I don't even know what the JDM one looks like. especially compared to the U.S.
I've only seen one other SVX and it was at night and really dirty.

I like them both
I even like the spoilerless ones. I wish the spoiler had a quick-detach option so I could change it depending on what mood I'm in

the JDM one "hugs" the trunk lid bolting to the sides, instead of mounting to the top of it.
I think the angles it makes from the side are confusing. if it simply continued all the way to the front of the trunk lid the lines might agree.

I like the US spoiler as well. I do like it when it is moved back 1 to 2 inches. It just looks better to me.
The only thing I am thinking about putting a JDM spoiler on is my JDM RHD SVX. I think that it should be used on that car because it is a JDM car.

I like the U.S. version. The trunk lid looks naked w/out one.

I like both JDM and US ones. But I guess the JDM one is bit large, kinda reminds me of F40 when I saw it in person. Depends on the color but I like wingless as well. My old '92 pearlie didn't have the wing. It looked perfect. I once took the wing off from my '96 bordeaux it did not look right.

I think the cars look better without the rear wing, so I am "One of the few proud" above
Between the US wing and the JDM, I would prefer the US style. I am sure not all colours look good without the wing, I would accept the comment on the bordeaux above. Against that, later bright silver cars look particularly pleasing without a rear wing. Nobody that I know has tried this yet, but I feel the SVX would look good wearing the small discreet lip spoiler that BMW uses on the 3 series coupe. I do mean last model, not the new one just out. I figure even the length would be perfect. Joe

Having an SVX with a wing for 6 months now, I've decided I prefer the wingless look, too. I don't think the wing looks awful, but it adds visual clutter to an area of the car that's aready a bit busy. It's a bolt-on decoration intended to make the car look more sporty, and that's lame. Plus, as a purely practical matter, I hate the weight the thing adds to the trunk lid.
