Do you prefer the GS with no spoiler, the stock spoiler, or an aftermarket spoiler?

I like the GS without a spoiler. I just can't seem to get cozy with the idea of a four door car with a spoiler. It's kinda like a four door convertible... just out of place.
Although if I were forced at gunpoint to put a spoiler on my car it would be a "lip" type spoiler. Subtle is better.

No spoiler for me. I just took my stock one off. Imo, the spoiler messes up the GS's beautiful bodyline. If I were to get a spoiler, I would get a flat-flush style. Classy, clean, and elegant.

I dunno guys...just something about the car with a spoiler. I like the lip idea also...subtle but makes the point. With the spoiler...it looks like the car is ready to take off...what is so out of place with a SPORTS luxury sedan having a spoiler? If I wanted a regular sedan I wouldve bought one..hehe.

Mine has a little more of a lip - the comparison side-by-side with an OEM pictures are on my other machine - the local dealer actually uses these on all his GSs.
I'll post a pic later tonight.

I like the 2001s and newer without the rear spoiler. However, the 1998-2000 model looks better with.
I think it has something to do with how they changed the rear lights....

Another opinion
Apparently I’m not a big fan of spoilers of any kind. I always felt like the first generation SC3 with its clean deck looked better than my SC4 with it’s factory spoiler.
When I bought the GS, I would’ve gone for the “spoilerless” look If I’d had that choice. Of course, in a perfect world, I’d scrap the redundant trunk lights as well. And while several aftermarket spoilers look nice, I still prefer the stock one. I do envy the dudes without the spoiler but not enough to fight the hassle of removing mine. I do like the rear end look a little better now since debadging though.
In my opinion, the basic GS design has always cried out for several cosmetic improvements – the most important is lowering – the single greatest bang for the bucks in looks you can make, the car looks so much better lowered – nice aftermarket wheels probably next – then I’d go for the de-badged trunk (leaving the oval “L”) and an aftermarket or chrome grille (I chose RMM). And finally, since my ride is pearl white, dark tinted windows. I know some others will disagree with this list but after all … its MY list!

That deck spoiler is nice. I was thinking about getting it too, but since I may be dumping the car soon, SCRATCH THAT. As far as front grill goes, There are a whole bunch that look great.. I also opted for the RMM , to continue with the flow of how my car was developing...
