opinions plz

i have a 4dr black ex 5-speed with the wings west avenger front, xenon sides and rear. In the beginning, I put an arospeed viper gt aluminum wing on the trunk lid which i now regret whole-heartedly. I have grown out of it and everytime i see my car from the rear it embarasses me to have that non-functional thing on my car. I am planning to get a new trunk lid and this is what i need opinions on. Do you guys think I should put the OEM spoiler on my trunk lid or should i keep it plain?? sorry, don't have my digital camera YET so i don't have pics of my ride although you guys can imagine it with the body kit i mentioned above. tell me what you think...

no wing is a good thing. Im very pleased to find that you have avoided the path to the dark rice...err ...side.

I reccomend either a flush mount spoiler (a wing is anything that allows the air to move under the horozontal plane), or better yet, save your money, dont put anything on it (you know no matter what you put on there its not going to do anythng but add weight and create drag). Then use that money to buy some kickass tires or something usefull.

I have the exact same car. NBP sedan ex with mt. I didn't have the spoiler for about a month after buying the car. I would see numerous 4drs around town with the oem spoiler and just loved the way they looked. It makes the rear of the car look 10x better, and the profile view looks 10x better also imo.

Oem spoiler

I'm with Joe B on this one...I would stay spoiler-less...I think it adds to the overall "clean" look of a car. Your car would be supertight! And like he said, you'll have some extra money that wasn't wasted on weight and looks..

I say go with the OEM spoiler. I'm with MBow, it's adds a little of "sportiness: that the sedan is lacking. I am pleased with mine

If your getting a new trunk lid, I would wait on the OEM spoiler till you drive around a bit, then later you can always add the spoiler.
