Spoiler, or no spoiler?

I'm contemplating whether or not I should remove my stock spoiler or keep it. I love how fc's look with no spoilers, but this one isn't that bad. What are your opinions?

Yeah. I've got the front racing beat springs that were supposed to go on my t2(a long time ago...)sitting in my closet, I don't have the cash to get the rears yet, so it sits too damn high. If I do take it off, it's going to my little brother, he called it lol, and I can get parts off of his t2 instead of taking them off mine.

Well the t2 hood was thrown on because my t2 is just sitting in my backyard, I was going to throw the na hood back on when I repainted the car. The door handle was black when I got it, along with the fender and bumper. I'm going to swap on s5 moulding because I think it looks better than the falling apart s4 moulding, and the passenger side is basically all s5 moulding anyway. I'm still wondering if I should repaint the car red, or black, or white.

Looking nice. My t2 doesn't have a spoiler and I love the look. I'll have to see how everything looks when I get the springs on (front struts are gr-2's, rears are I have no clue, previous owner put them all on), and when my damn exhaust finally arrives.

Yea, my little brother was searching for one for awhile, but they were a bit pricey, so if I do take it off, I'll trade it to him for some parts, or something.

i plan on grinding my paint off in a couple years and repainting it white metallic pearl like on the newer cadillac escalades "bling bling". with some big gold SSR reverse meshies


white always looks good. if you repaint it just remember to at least spray paint the door jams and engine first.

Yea, definitely. That's one reason why I'm still contemplating painting it a different color, the whole ripping out the whole motor to repaint the engine bay, not fun...

you dont have to pull the motor. just take a few things off like the intake, coil packs etc and mask the engine off with trash bags/newspaper. sand, primer, spray paint... easy easy. ive done it to 2 cars and its no big deal.

Hmmm, I'm a noob to painting and bodywork, I've never done it all. I'll look into though. Thanks.

Well, here's my decision. Also, I've decided when I repaint it, it's going white. Cell phone pics, so quality might not be the best.

No spoiler FTW:

I personally love the way the car flows without it. I think 3rd gens are sexy without wings as well.

Good choice, my friend.

I'm glad I took the spoiler off. My GXL had no spoiler, my T2 doesn't have one. I love it.

My 7 currently has no spoiler on as well. I like it but at the same time i like the stock t2 spoiler.
