Amazing...a spoiler on a front wheel drive car. LOL. Looks as bad as having a spoiler on an ES300/330...sorry guys.

The spoiler looks Ok on the car. Nothing great but not a big travesty either. BUT what's wrong with a spoiler on a FWD car? Very few spoilers/wings truly add to the aerodynamics of a car. Most of the time, it is a visual, aesthetic addition, whether the car is FWD or RWD.

If you take the same car and imagine that the engineers had decided on a RWD instead of a FWD, visually nothing has changed but it is now OK to have the spoiler?

Of course, they call it the G35. But all in all it looks wrong, it's the wrong contour for the wrong car asthetically. My opinion still stands...pointless and ugly.

I have no problem accepting this opinion. I was just curious about the whole FWD and spoilers generalization.

Could have been worse. He could have put an STI or a Neon R/T spoiler. Looks alright from every angle except from the rear where you can really see that it doesn't fit right.
