Yeah a spolier on a FWD car serves no function, just looks good, a stock one anyway

Post a pic. A aftermarket spoiler can look good if it's tasteful. An aluminum one would have to be painted. The bare finish doesn't look good IMO. I like the clean look with no wing as well!

if you want to be unique, mold in a three piece lip spoiler like on the osv. or go razzi. i'd sell you my stock spoiler for dirt cheap, tho.

Again, opinions are everything. Some people hate stock, some people even hate factory spoilers (that strip of fiberglass just looks bad to me), and some people hate aluminums. All in all, everyone loves their own car with their own style, and that's how it's going to be no matter what you own. It took me months to find the one that most fit the car, as 95% look horrible. I'll put up an image tomorrow when I can grab a shot during the day.

To each his own. I think that the stock spoiler looks like ass. Just looks a little out of place imo. and aluminum is definetly out of the question. I like slick look. period. but yea. ill stop posting now lol....

If you add an aluminum park bench, you should put on some of THIS too. That way you'll acheive the uniformity of the completely gay look you're going for.

I agree, I absolutely agree. no aluminum wing flows with any car, plus they are absolutely pointless. it looks even worse due to the fact its the only thing you have done to your car.... |

@kwhauck: To each their own. To you, you like 100% stock externals, modified internals. Me, I prefer exterior styling to getting strip performance, especially at my mileage.
@troyertrain: Pointless? Not really. I like how it looks, and spoilers do in fact add a little more downforce on the rear. (Not the reason I have it, I know it's minimal) Sure our cars are front wheel drive, but rear traction is still good.

Never made fun of yours; just didn't like your egotistical views of your own car, and hate for anything but a stock looking car. That and assuming everyone says "naws."  |
