Spoiler looks great! Gives it a class ***.
And props for doing both!

yes I think im the same as this.

ive cntemplated taking off my spoiler because ive seen some sc's that look great without it.

But than there are some sc's that look great with it on.

I think any which way u go about it will be fine, personally im very close to deleting mine----it does seem to be a very clean look without it.

(edit) i forgot to mention that in my opinion Jadu your car seems to look better without the spoiler---just my opinion of course.

When I bought my spoilerless car one of the first things I had thought I wanted was a spoiler, but after looking at it and others without spoilers I've decided to go without one. There is a certain smoothness that a spoiler just ruins.

Looks like an improvement, but in my opinion the SC looks cleaner without it once it has a body kit.

I'm partial to having a spoiler. The LED brake light looks classier, and the car looks like it's squatting to take a pooper without one in the back, but that's just my opinion. Whatever you do, sell the other trunk and buy some fogs, looks like you're missing yours.

+ it also drops the drag from 0.32 to 0.31 and gives it a slight bump in mpg

Not only does the SC look naked from behind without it, but the aerodynamic drag goes up from 0.31 to 0.32 without the spoiler. Spoiler wins hands down, whether you're looking for performance or styling. On a side note, the 97+ spoiler appeals more to me, though I think its a bit less functional than the 92-96.

BTW Jadu, your SC looks very clean. I love the rims and glad to see you're one of the lucky few without a moonroof.

I agree. That's the combo I'm going to go with.

No spoiler looks weird on a pre-97 white SC.
