Default 3pc spoiler or oem?

Kind of on the fence with this one but want to add a spoiler on my car... Just dont know which one. I know the 3 pc ones ive seen dont have lights in the back. I heard that if you get an oem it will set off yor brake light on your dash... anyone wanna throw some pics up of their 3 pc spoilers for comparison

I have a Junction produce spoiler and with all these replicas out there, the 3 peice spoiler is pretty much played out. If i were you i would just leave it without a spoiler looks cleaner imo.

you could use the same arguemnet about the TTE lip. if you the op like it do it. i personally just put one on (replica that is). i didnt think i would like it but it really has grown on me. it gives the car a sportier look in my opinion.

You cant say a "3" piece spoiler is "PLAYED OUT". In that case, so is modifying your car would be played out. Lowering it, putting L-Tuned skirts, TTE lip, HID'S, itll all be played out.

Go with the 3-Piece IF you modify your vehicle. If your not, look into the LIP spoiler for a clean look.

would look really weird with a 3pc spoiler without wheels and a drop first.

First thing should be lowering
then wheels/tires
then other

I am going to get a 3 piece spoiler and a tte lip or even a replica, just because I like the look, so on that note, do what makes you happy!

probably follow your own opinion look at pics and buy what you like. Dont make your car based on others opinions really. Who's to say they know you LOL. GL i like the gs in all spoiler forms for the most part
