What about the risers which lift the original spoiler up. Like this in the middle....

Spoilerless looks awful IMO i think either a carbon S202 style wing or a carbon STi high spoiler is the best option but its your car and your decision should be based on what you think not what people on here think

The larger spoilers can be a pain I find. It obscures a lot of your rear view which I find annoying TBH. I might be tempted by the "risers" that Mylesthegreat suggested if I where you.

Don't you just hate it when your poll appears on the front page of SNet and idiots just vote randomly from there without reading the actual thread

Nah mate - the risers make it look cheap and naff.
Either an S202 style spoiler or a STI - latter IMHO is better.

I've been thinking the same thing for the last twelve months I decided spoilerless looked good but only if you drop the car so low that I don't believe it would be drivable. I priced up the Seibon spoiler but I wasn't sure how carbon would look on a black car. When I phoned up I was told I would need some holes in the boot lid filling and respraying which would have added £200 to the cost. I ended up going for a Scoobyclinic rather expensive replica, justifying the extra cost over other suppliers because of the 'free' power run When I went for it fitting they wouldn't put me on the dyno. I washed the car and it leaked. When I went back (90 miles round trip) they still wouldn't put me on the dyno So if I was buying again i'd suggest getting an STI spoiler, but not from Scoobyclinic!

Before:


After, with a few extra mods too but you get the idea.

STI spoiler.
But if you have the dough, go for the "bookshelf" by L'aunsport...

Cheers,

already had an experience with scoobyclinic booked it in for full exhaust and free dyno run drove 80 miles to get there. the price increased by £100 from original price and yes you probably already guessed they did not do the free dyno run. imo they should either remove it off their site or actually do them

Subtle Scoobs look much cooler than chavy shout-out-loud ones with all the pink and gold, and exaggerated styling IMHO.

STi wins hands down

a modded BMW e46 3 series spoiler looks well.
imo a roof vane looks helps without a bing spoiler.
