I never could understand why anyone would ask someone else what they think
looks better on YOUR car...

What looks better to you?

Because that's all it is.

I know... ask the dealer if you can order it on the side.

Yo, Crusty Shadetree. He's wanting opinions. Give it to him. ;-)

Billy,

Here's mine. Be different. Go spoilerless. Less cost, less clutter,
and probably more aerodynamic (factory spoilers are notoriously
ineffective).

Now if only we could just order a new V8 Mustang without all the
power-robbing options and air...

Get it without the spoiler, then send it off to one of the leading
custom shops and let them take it from there with a complete
aerodynamic package, engine mods, the works.

I almost replied to this guy before looking at your response...... Good
answer...... now, should I get extra onions on my pizza or extra
mushrooms...... C'mon, BYM.... let me know what I like....

I'm having a real time trying to understand the latest mindset....... One
radio station I like to listen to is offering a public opinion poll that
allows you to see if your flag is with the wind or against the wind. WTF????
My opinion is mine (just as yours is yours and Joe Blows is Joe
Blows...).... It appears that, if my opinion isn't popular, I should change
my opinion (read as 'the way I feel' - 'my beliefs' - 'how I view
life'.....).

The world is truly going to hell in a handbasket.....

Anyway... should he get the spoiler or not? (Apologies to Dirty Harry.....
c'mon punk, make his day....)..... jes' jokin'... On a serious note, you
could have at least told him what his favourite colour is....

He's going to send Billy a certified cashier's check for 3X the cost of the
mods, with the understanding that Billy will send him the 2X balance ASAP!

Because someone else drives behind him and sees the spoiler ??? :-)

I think that the addition of the spoiler helps to balance what looks to me
like a too bulky and bland rear end.

The first one I saw did not have the spoiler, I hated it.
After seeing one with the spoiler it significantly changed my opinion of the
looks of the car.

Well, you ask for opinions, that's my nickles worth :¬)
