Default Opinions: Spoiler, or No Spoiler? (PICS)

Recently installed the LNR spoiler and though I like the style, I'm not sure if it actually compliments the overall look, or detracts from it. Here are some before and after pics. LMK what you all think. Thanks.

i am always a fan of the spoiler, your car looked good before, but i think that it looks "more complete" with the spoiler

+1 what usc said.

I like the spoiler look and always think they add "attitude" to the car, providing they're not those big azz, ricer whale tail types.

IMO the elenor spoiler is just way to weird looking, the GT500 spoiler is kick ***

regardless, your car looks awesome with it or without it

Go with what you like. It's your car. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the whole point of personalizing your car with a spoiler, or what have you, is because it reflects the owners wishes, not those of the herd. Otherwise, it wouldn't be referred to as personalizing your car.

I love the spoilerless look of your car. It makes the car look very sleek. All your other mods support that. The scoop is small and not intrusive, the scoops blend and follow the lines well, the SHR louvres blend into the car and don't cause any visual disruption, and then the lines just continue to flow off the car.

I think the spoiler breaks up the lines you've created on that car. Spoilerless, everything seems to slide rearwards, but with the spoiler, it abruptly stops. I think for me, it's the seam that throws everything off, as well as the angle of attack that spoiler has.

The roush spoiler may work better in keeping the sleek rearward motion of the lines of the car.

Just my opinion. The gar looks gorgeous either way.

Between the 2 options, spoilerless looks better as there is something about that spoiler that does not flow well. But I do think the Roush would look great and tie everything else together!!
