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

no shopping cart handle for me. I like the clean look without.

I also don't like when cars originally came w/out spoiler have the oem inside 3rd brake light and the spoiler brake light.

It doesn't match perfectly. At first it was a lot whiter than the paint. Then it's kind of faded and dirty so it blends in better.

Go to the vinyl booths at the mall and ask for silver scraps. It won't be 100% but it'll look way better than that huge spoiler until you can repaint the trunk.

The official Wald pics convinced me that I like it with the spoiler.



something about that car...the aerokit, wheels, stance, color, everything just works in harmony IMO. I also think it's about what your going for. The GS can be VIP or sporty...if you're going for the sporty look, I think it can pull it off, but not with VIP.
