Default Poll: Need your opinions please - Spoiler or no?

Hey guys, looking for your opinions... I am totally up in the air on this and I can't decide.

EDIT:
Should buy spoiler for my car or not?

-If yes, why? and which one?
-If No, Why not?


Note: I'm not going for anything crazy here. Just wanted a nice sporty daily driver. All I have done so far is tinted the windows. I will probably eventually lower it and possibly buy wheels, but that will be the extent of it.

I'm not a fan of the pedestal spoiler at all. If you must get a spoiler, I suggest getting the oem lip spoiler.

I appreciate the honest answers. I have a feeling the majority of people on this site are not fans of the pedastal spoilers, lol.

It's a front wheel drive car. Why do you need a rear spoiler?

I see I can get a painted OEM lip spoiler for about $110 shipped from ebay...

and I can get the m3 spoiler painted for $60 shipped on ebay...

hmm... I'm still up in the air if I want a spoiler at all though... I feel like it kinda looks plain without one.

Well, if that's the case, go with the aforementioned OEM or M3 lip spoiler. Personally, I wouldn't go with a big spoiler unless your back-end is coming out too much in a racing application and you need to mute that a little... but I don't think that's what you're going for.

cool. thanks for the opinions guys.

I think I will eventually go with the OEM or maybe the M3... I'm gonna sleep on it save up a little money while deciding which one to purchase.

remember, it is a LIKE OEM spoiler painted and shipped for $110. these are applied viea double sided tape that holds very well! i've had mine for nearly two years now and the paint looks great and the tape hasn't budged.

imho, the oem style has a nice subtle and classy feel to it...the pedestal on the other hand is big and chunky and looks awful.

here is my 'like' oem eBay lip spoiler...

It helps aid in aerodynamics plus if it really didnt do anything Im pretty sure Chris Rado wouldnt put one on his car.
