Simple question really.
Do you think my car would benefit from the removal of the rear spoiler? I've been thinking about getting a spoiler-less Gunmetal bootlid from the wreckers to throw on the car. Most people automatically think it will look much better without the spoiler, but I'm not so sure. Last year I took the spoiler off for a few weeks, but soon put it back on because the electrical tape over the big holes looked a bit dodgy. And there were quite a few big scratch marks left on it. Here's a pic that was taken at the last E-series vs R31 Drag day without the spoiler. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15...20day/ash2.jpg And here's some with the spoiler. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15...a_1800x533.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15..._04_09_013.jpg These days the car is alot lower all around, with SSL in the back and SL with Sports Rider struts in the front. I didn't want to add a poll because I hate them  Ash

I reckon leave it on. When the EF/ELs have the Tickford bodykit, they do look good without the spoiler, but since you don't have the bodykit, I reckon the car looks better with the spoiler on.

My opinion on spoilers is like yours on polls.
It'll look 100% better with it off! |

Off. Unless you get the full EL kit with the matching spoiler.
