haha...actually if you look at E-classes, 5 series, A6, S-type Jags, none of them have a spoiler cause it would look stupid on them and its not elegant but for some reason they dont look that bad on a GS.....id say lip spoiler ftw

No to the stock spoiler. To answer your question it's about 5 bills to remove/weld/blend ur trunk. Shop around you may find it lower.

You should check out side shots of the GS w/ and w/o spoiler. I think it's a cleaner look w/o a stock spoiler

Idk the *** looks soooo small without the spoiler, the one with the spoiler looks hot!! I love the spoiler of the GS, a 3 piece adds a great tuner type look, but i wont go out of my to buy a 3 piece. Personal taste.

That's a great example Rickey. The first pic show how bulky the stock wing is.

Just goes to show different strokes for different folks. After all those pics above spoilerless just looks naked, plane jane, and like something is missing. Perhaps the stock spoiler might be a little too bulky for some, but no spoiler looks barren and bare.

I'm opposite from others. I's say if you were keeping your car stock, no spoiler might be okay. If you are going to mod, gotta put some sort of spoiler on the trunk. No spoiler just looks stock.

I got rid of my stock one....patched the holes...and put a 3-piece custom one on the trunk...I personally think it depends on how you are modding your car.

Well said..
I am looking for the one piece RMM wing. (looks stock but is different) I see it at L-Tuned, but it seems to be rare...
Does anybody have this wing on their car? Pics?

I'm looking at this thread really analyzing things, is there anybody else that thinks the stock spoiler looks better on darker colors than white or silver? I like it on my black with my car but I can see how it looks bulky on white cars.
