I love my spoiler. I'll stick with it for now. Why wasting money for undecided decision?

If you're going to mod it, take it off. If you're not going to mod it, take it off. The spoiler just looks dated. The car itself has aged well but not the spoiler.

I have to agree with Darknight, GSs look dated with a spoiler.

Leave it. Besides depending on your state you'll need to take the time and money to install a third brake light to replace the one on your wing.

If the GS is dropped with rims it definitely looks better without spoiler, however, if you keep it stock leave the spoiler.

To me, it depends a little bit on what look you're going for as well. The spoiler definitely doesn't work well with a VIP look but IMO it's not bad with a slightly sportier look.

If your asking, I like lip spoilers or spoilerless more than the rally-oem looking ones.

If it doesn't break don't fix it...I kinda like the OEM spoiler though, whether it mods or not..It just the personal preferences.

GS spoiler rocks. Adds 50hp at least.

After driving 400 something miles home after picking up my car, the first thing I did was take off the spoiler.
Then I went inside and went to bed.

Now I agree. Keep the spoiler. Looks wrong without it, IMO.
