WITH


WITHOUT




So I'm considering deleting the factory spoiler. I had another post asking for appearance mods, but I just snagged a great deal on a used vortec, so I'm cleaned out for $. Sorry for the bad editing in paint. Which do you think will look better?

I deleted mine and love it. I think it's an agressive look, though my "buddies" tell me it looks like a 6 cyl.

According to the poll most say "other" - I think that means get a ducktail spoiler.

The delete option means you will have to fill the holes and have your trunklid painted.

My 2007 was ordered with no spoiler. I prefer it like that. Truth is street spoilers are all pretty non-functional and only add drag. If I did put a spoiler on it then it would be a ducktail.

As for those who say spoiler delete = V6. They are wrong. First thing anyone with a V6 that didnt get the spoiler option does is go out and get a spoiler. Most people, regardless of whether they got a V6 or V8, get a ducktail to emulate the GT500.

Your ride looks nice, I say wait on the spoiler and meanwhile get some clear corners and stealth or led bulbs and it will make a much bigger visual impact than the spoiler and at a much lower cost.

I was hell bent on getting a GT w/o a spoiler but couldn't find one that was available that I liked. I the end I just got the gt500 spoiler anyway so I guess it worked out in the end.
