any spoiler that matches your car theme and/or fits flush is a nice spoiler.

Because the giant wings increase drag and decrease performance on a front wheel drive car. Not only do they not serve a purpose, they actually make your car perform WORSE than without it.

The small ones like stock only increase drag a little, but still don't do anything for performance.

The stock looking ones that are really tall (not giant aluminum wings; they look like stock but they are like 12" tall) make your car look like a shopping cart.

I guess Im the only one that cant stand the stock wing....I had to go to three dealerships before I found a brand new ex with no wing.... As for the aluminum wings They just look all played out now in my opinion...I do like the large carbon fiber ones on our cars though.....

lol, personally i like the stock one, and the kaminari. I would have gotten the stock wing but I'm getting the opium bodykit and don't think it would look as good as the kaminari wing would with it. It's just the regular fiberglass kaminari wing cause my funds were running low so i couldn't get the carbon fiber blade one. Damn....

but yeah go for whatever floats your boats, i love wings as long as they arn't tall as hell. just keep it low.
