Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

Hello Civic Generation. I have a question for ya'lls... What are the positives or the negatives of having a spoiler for those who have sported one? Doesn't it make our civics a lot more stylish? What do you guys think and have you guys ever owned a spoiler for your civics?

Re: Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

I have an OEM spoiler, I really like the way it makes my car flow.

Plus, the additional 40hp it gives isn't bad :P.

Re: Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

very heavy if you get the oem one. light if you get ebay replica, but then the led brake strip is crap.

Re: Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

i personally don't like the look of a spoiler on the flow of my car. plus i already have a hard time seeing through my tinted windows so a spoiler wouldn't help me much...

Re: Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

I think it gives it a nice look. The visibility is not terrible but I don't have tints.

Re: Pros/Cons of a Spoiler

i actually would consider ebay spoiler, but it would mean getting my rear window retinted to cover the brake light hole which i dont wanna do. and upgrading the led strip, and drilling the trunk. its a forever mod, so make sure you like it.

I'm actually considering an ebay one, why is the LED brake light crap?

Does this look good?

Is this where you got it from? First result after googling "spoiler king ebay".
