Mine's Tungsten- not Vista blue, but you can get an idea of the beautifully clean streamlined look of these cars without that cheapo fugly NON-functional piece of plastic....

Nah, I actually like the black mirrors on my car because of the contrast.
The entire car (both inside & out) is a combination of gray & black- I forked over extra for the "sport appearance package with color accents"- so the bottom half of my dash is dove gray, and the doors too (with the same charcoal leather inserts that are on the seats).
Blends in really nice with the Tungsten exterior IMO.

I actually like the spoiler, I think it completes the look; without it I think the back looks too plain. And how is a spoiler on a rear wheel drive car non-functional?

It is functional. It increases "drag". [8D] Seriously though, whatever you like is what is best for your car; that's what we all are doing. Your car looks great with or w/o spoiler!

I hear ya, though even with mine were black on black I didn't want anyone to see the cheap grainy plastic so I did mine up.

I really like the spoiler on my GT. To each his own I suppose. Honestly if you are not taking your car to the track why worry about drag? I know I don't.

Hey, to each his own- no problemo as far as I'm concerned!
In fact, almost everyone here likes at least some kind of spoiler on these cars, but I just happen to think they all look like ****, and while they might have originally appeared on real sports cars many years ago, they are nowadays to be found on almost every single four-banger POS & soccer-mom-mobile in order to make 'em look more sporty (Hondas, KIA's, Toyota's, Hyundai's, etc., etc., etc).
I feel exactly the same way about those non-functional hood & side scoops, but once again, that's only my own personal opinion.

As far as being non-functional however, it's been empirically proven in wind-tunnel tests that they do NOT add any downforce whatsoever on our cars (there was a whole thread posted about these tests about 6 months ago).
