Ok gang, here's the skinny:
Beckington wants to trade decklids w/ me even-up, and I'm all for it. But the wife thinks that Aleros without a spoiler look like "granny cars". I'm thinking that an aftermarket spoiler is out of the question, unless I find a Razzi spoiler cheap. I really like the clean look of the Alero with no wing though. Is this worth getting into deep poop w/ my wife over? Opinions?

I personally dont like the stock wing for the Alero but if you can get a Razzi I would go for that.

Personally I think that no spoiler looks cleaner and better. The spoilers still look very good, I think that without the spoiler it looks cleaner

Stock or razzi.
I probably would have kept my stock one if it wasn't cracked in half. It's growing on me though. Plain just looks boring. It doesn't look terrible on a sedan, seeing as its a sedan. But if you have a coupe, it looks very much out of place without something being back there.
Slight issue with the razzi though. It's kind of big, I think it looks a bit awkward on a car with the stock body lines.

I think the Alero sedans look better than the coupe no matter what you do to it. The coupe just looks wierd to me and I find my self thinking that it needs 2 more doors to fill that back panel.

I went with the Grand Am spoiler on my Alero. It looks good, but I definitly think Alero's look better with the spoiler but to each is to own.

It needs a spolier IMO, looks too plain without
Think about a GA spolier, or a Alero one
On a front drive car, it's only for looks anyway

I want to put in another vote for: It just doesn't look right without a spoiler.
I really like the razzi spoiler too.

the spoilers look like crap..... but IF you HAD to have one, i'd go with RAZZI... and if you trade now (i'd even ask for a little cash) you wouldnt have to fill the stock holes before drilling for the razzi.
so i say trade... and later on if you want a spoiler, go razzi.

boooooo!
tell her the razzi is so much better and it'll be easier to install on a smooth trunk... and then just never buy the razzi! 
look at ski's pics when he took the spoiler off... sooo much better. |
