My vote is for the factory pedestal spoiler; I think the car needs something back there, otherwise it looks kinda... jellybeanish with nothing. The lip spoiler is too small, I feel, while the factory pedestal adds just the right amount of flair.

I like the pedestal, it takes away from the huge ___ of our cars.

no spoiler-low spoiler is good for drag racing
medium spoiler-high spoiler good for road racing

i'll take mid cuz i hate drag racing and i love road racing. i love hittin apexes. i used 2 pro race so i know what i'm talkin about. at least i got the body kit to back up a mid-spoiler. its not all about the power in some aspects. i'm goin for the gt tc effect, that is street durable, not f&f and not super clean street mechine. veilside has 1 that might work but i'm not in a rush. now for u non racer educated peeps out there. front, rear, and all wheel drive cars handle better with high downforce wings. wind resistance takes effect at 50mph for all cars. i felt the differences in racing spec races and daily driving my civic. a lot of u need some speed channel, grand tourismo, or forza in your life. better yet, to notice a mid-high spoiler workin good if u have 1, look in the rearview mirror out the back window at 50+mph in the rain on the highway (constant movement). not 1 rain drop will hit the back window cuz the air is blowing it past the spoiler. its like bein in a wind tunnel. anything under 50 with constant movement, back window will be wet.
knowing is half the battle.
if yal have a problem with this info, take it up with physics, NOT ME!!

So you really think that the blob of plastic mounted on the trunk is designed for performance. That is funny

haha my azz. u need to read what i said again and again till the lil light bulb comes on. put 2 and 2 together. here is another hint slowness. a car with low to no spoiler is good for dragracing set up BEEECAUSE the drag on the car is lower, which increases speed not handles. I DONT LIKE DRAG RACING. THIS MEANS I HAATE THE SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD. THEY SUCK CUZ TO ME THEY DONT INCREASE HANDLING. MY DEFENCE IS GEARED 2WARD "SOME PARK BENCH WINGS" i never said lip and pedestal spoilers added ANY performance. PAY ATTENTION j, and GROW UP, cuz u r laughing at nothing but your own damn self.
i'm not planning on getting a GT wing till i have cosmetics and a couple more performance parts to back it up.

If it works for you I would go for the Kaminari kit, looks good, functional and the build quality is very good. Top notch glass and very little prep.
