Default Need opinion on this type of spoiler

My car is black and Ive been looking for a low profile spoiler preferably in carbon fiber. I found a company that has ones that look similiar to the one that comes on the new GTR. What do you all think of this style?

Not sure how I feel about the way it folds in on the ends like that, but the height is nice.

don't get me wrong here but two thumbs down. why? because it's a GT-R spoiler and everyone's trying to throw these on their cars. reminds me of the '01 eclipses and neons sporting hyundai shark wings. or the '93 celicas with the supra high rise spoilers. it's just not right. it's distasteful putting something on from another manufacturer. in 3 years, you'll go to any car show and see half the cars with these wings on.

I think it would look good as long as the size is right.

I have to say though that in a way I *gasp* agree with HKC. Since the GT-R is badass, it'll be the new car to copy parts from. I am afraid that in a year when every Civic has the same spoiler as you that it won't matter vary much that you had one first. If the fad doesn't happen it'll be fine, but I think there's a good chance that it will.

On a side note, welcome fellow Washingtonian. Just noticed your location. smile.gif
