Default to spoiler or ?

Greetings,

Hello lads, i was thinking to spoiler or not, i thought my gs looks more cleaner without, but again it's more of a sportier look with it. What do you guys think?
i was also thinking about the sport design lip spoiler?

I always thought the GS needed a spoiler even if its the oem one but recently I have seen more than a few modded with spoiler and they looked great...Look at gato's for example..

get the sports design lip spoiler. I got something identical for 62.00 painted and installed it myself, doesnt look as good as the sports designs but hotter than without.

I don't know about that...







GATO's car looks like a winner to me. Nice and clean.

Agreed with above, but there are many GS w/ spoiler that looks clean as well.

This is NOT my car. I saved this picture from another member of CL. This is a true Champ! Without spoiler looks smooth, but i wanted to feel fully loaded. If you must install a spoiler, i would get this one without a doubt. Just MY opinion! This car is mobster!

I like the way it looks from the back but on the side view it looks too "thick/tall" where it mounts to the trunk, like someone just stuck a piece of door molding on or something, it doesnt flow with the lines of the trunk from the side view, but the back view looks good, IMO.

I've got the oem spoiler and I like it, but think it's a bit tall sometimes. I am talking with someone about repainting the car and doing some custom work, so I am thinking about cutting about 1 - 1.5" out of the spoiler as long as the mount holes dont change.

I like Gato's car, but I think it's the color and stance that help set off the no spoiler look... always liked that clean look of that car.

I never really liked the look of the stock spoiler. At some angles, I found it OK. At others, I thought it was hideous.

Like I said before gato's car really made feel that the gs can be hot with no spoiler too..Than again can't hurt that he has some hot wheels and its dumped on the ground.
