why pay 20k for a car and not a spoiler when 400 bucks more can make it twice as good..?.

Because it doesn't make it look good. To some of us function is what makes a car attractive.

Yes, everyone has a different opinion.
And I only mentioned my opinion to the OP because, "to me", those additions don't worth $3k.

I was in the same situation, either tC2 Silver (fully loaded) for 22.1k or tC2 RS8 for 22k when i still need 2-3k updates..

I like Silver>Red and i got all the upgrades, yeah its not a RS but heck. I pick it up tomorrow.

I say if you like White, go for Super White!!

I think the tC would be much more comfortable to drive...The FR-S isn't really spacious enough..In my opinion.

Wow this dude really hates spoilers. No one is forcing you bro. I'm just saying I hated the look of tC2's for over a year until I saw a black one with the OEM spoiler.
So now I have a Black tC2 with a Spoiler :D

Oh and get the spoiler otherwise the car will look like a girl with no ___ (rear end)...it just drops off.

I agree the car looks naked without a small spoiler. As far as shifting goes everything I now own is stick. Everything I have owned in the past with an automatic never made it past 150,000 miles with out a trans failure.

Still waiting for the 8.0 to show up at the dealer so I can test drive it. Hopefully I will make my decision next week and have a new tC soon.

If I don't go with the 8.0, who makes the nicest pre-painted ground effect kits?

I've owned my for 2 weeks. I love it!!! I've only purchased black cars in the past but this one was calling me. I think it needs stiffer sways, but I like to corner. tC2 RS 8.0 is Boss.
