Your car actually looks good without it. Every white spoilerless pre-97 SC I've seen on the street has been a beat up piece of junk. A white 97 without a spoiler looks clean though.

Nice job, that's the one to go with. I'll be switching mine out down the road once I begin body work. The flat spoiler flows better with the body lines.

It does flow better better with the body. Your car looks great the way it is. No need for change.

I have that exact same spoiler (stock on the 95 sc4) and i think it looks ugly as hell. the first thing i did when i got my car is take it off and patch the holes. I think it does not do the lines of the car any justice. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however, and I am well aware that the camps are split 50/50 on whether or not it looks good. I just happen to be one of the people that thinks it looks awful.

There is one alternative....I've seen a smaller spoiler that looks like a lip on the trunk. Very akin to the spoiler on the IS 350. It goes on the SC's ridge of the trunk. Just a small spoiler....

That's not true.

And yeah, i think it would have been neat to put on a small lip spoiler instead.

It really flows better. The 0.29 drag coeficient is with the wing.
IMO without the spoiler it looks like an older car. I don´t like the roof spoiler either.
