Re: spoiler... yay or nay?

ja, unless you're going to go 300+mph in your d17, the widdle wing wont do n e thing.

But you could argue, "the red light on the wing protects me from rear ends!"

and I would say yup, but so do the brake lights.

RallyeRedRider has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: spoiler... yay or nay?

Mine started without one and it was added later. I saw the car before and after, and I like the looks a lot more with it. I know it doesn't do anything performance wise but add weight, but I think it makes the lines of the car flow much better, and the trunk not look so huge.
just my 2c

Re: spoiler... yay or nay?

Well since everyone is saying no and I'm sitting here thinking ya, then I say go for it.

...and for all you nay sayers who go "well the spoiler doesn't do anything, whine whine", I say YES IT DOES... When my gf doesn't close the trunk properly and it opens up while driving, the spoiler will actually close it for me if I drive fast enough, so suck on that, LOL. Get a spoiler today and prevent persuing cops from seeing your contraband. That $hit's expensive and you don't want the wind to blow it all out of your trunk.

Lol. I dont get why people are against it. I think it looks clean with an OEM spoiler. Heck, get it, and if you dont like it, I'm sure there are tons of black em2's that would do a simple trunk swap so you dont have two random holes

Re: spoiler... yay or nay?

your car looks like a beetle from behind

personally for me I think the only spoiler that looks clean is the tsunami roof + trunk lid thing that sits flush and doesn't block your rear view.

I've never looked back while backing up and thought, "Damn, that spoiler is so ****ing big I can't see anything."
