Default Opinion On Round Looking (M3) Trunk Spoiler

Folks,

How do you think this spoiler (see attachment) would flow on the second gen GS body?

Looks really nice minus the wing on top.
Very unique, would look better if it was molded -.02.

there is actually a body kit on ebay for this. It can be done if you have other mods on your car to compliment it but alone it just stands out.
heres the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRP-98-05-Le...6b253d&vxp=mtr

U've been comin through on the photoshops lately... Pretty good with it. Prob why we've seen an increase in PS requests in this section.

I'm thinking of if I should mod my 3 piece spoiler on too. it looks a bit cleaner but its irreversible and $$. It looks weird if you don't have the 2 side pieces, looks like it just got chopped off.

also anyone got an idea of roughly how much it would be to mold on? since I got a wingless trunk that I will need to repaint anyways.
