A raised spoiler may have its origins in motorsports but the fact is that ricers often put them on their cars for no real purpose but to look gaudy so that's why we associate them with ricers. I often see little imports with no body kit whatsoever and all they have is a huge spoiler in the back. WTF??? Hahaha

Ok, race spec spoilers have their place in exactly as the name indicates, racing. I don't even see high raise spoilers on the grand am FR300 GT mustangs. Only the FR500 cobra that races in the FIA GT3 series over in europe thats putting down close to 600hp needs the down force, as do the rest of the cars in that series.
Ducktail spoilers, etc, that give the car elegent smooth lines are more indignant of what the S197 and it's retro styling are all about. If you want to make a track car, go right ahead build it for maximum down force and grip where the raised spoiler would be appropriate. But on the street it just looks rediculous from a style point of view, and thats not an opinion thats common sense.
This is allowed to have a raised spoiler and not be rice.

Your spoiler actually goes well with the whole look of your car. Let me clarify...what I think looksgaudy are these large wing spoilers on cars that have no body kits to go with it. Even though they serve no real purpose on the street, at least have a body kit that flows well with the large wing spoiler. I get a laugh whenever I see littlecivics andaccordsthat look totally stock but then the ownersslap on this huge wing spoiler. Why oh why?[:'(]

I know, I know, the rear spoilers are "functional" (on a street car of course). hehehe 
. But I tell ya what, remove that sucker, replace with a ducktailand that's one of the best looking stangs' I've seen.

RE: Anybody Have the Geiger Kit?
Just watched the vid. It appears to be a autosound/perf demo car. The little satellite on the dash that looks really tacky probablyhelpsthe autosound fill and dynamics. Sometimes things that look like crap actually have a purpose (i.e. whale tail spoilers).
And if I'm not mistaken that's a Kenne Bell under hood....
It serves a purpose too
And it needs an MGW shifter. waaaahaaaahaaaa.
