I just think the 2IS has a bit of a ghetto booty. Especially the '06-'08 bumper, and even worse with the parking sensors. And the spoiler adds to the height a little bit. I do like the profile view with the spoiler though.

I went back and forth with this for two years and finally decided to get one. I LOVE IT. It adds perfectly to the lines of the rear and gives the look of "speed" when car isn't moving.

Get the spoiler. I went car shopping and test drove one without it. Then went to the lot to choose my color and noticed how much nicer it looked with a spoiler.

On the IS definitely! Looks great. ES or LS then no. Great choice.

Personally, I think no spoiler is best (but just barley)

I dont like the OEM spoiler....

If you want a spoiler, ISF spoiler looks much better imo ...

I like the IS spoiler even though I don't have it on mine. I'm afraid to mess up my trunk by drilling in the wrong hole and don't like to mess around the spoiler that use strictly tapes to install. Nice spoiler by the way.

My spoiler came on the car when purchased. But I would have had it added anyway.

Thanks IS-SV and howdybob22. It was one of those things once I got on I wish I had done sooner.
There were some decent instructions included in the kit. I had mine installed for $80 at AA Autowerks in Van Nuys.

I'm not really a spoiler person but I do like the OEM one for the 2is. It's a nice subtle addition IMO.
