I think a more conservative, low-key wind spoiler like the 2nd gen GS should be good. I don't really like the photo illustrated one above.

i prefer the lip spoilers, they look sleek and nice. those wing'd spoilers make me think of older cars... lower class cars.

I'm not diggin' it but everything else looks good. Even though it is fairly subtle, it doesn't look right. I think a lip spoiler would suit it much more.

Wing spoiler = So 90's.

However, lip spoilers were also popular in early 80's as well before getting replaced by the wing spoiler. Wait few more years and the wing spoiler may come back.

I wouldn't say it's absolutely terrible, but it should be more conservative than that. That or an aggressive lip spoiler would set the GS off nicely
