Hey guys. I've been lurking for awhile, finally decided to join.

I've been going back and forth on whether to get a spoiler. Do you think it looks ok without one or should I get one?

If so, what kind? Also, black or red?

Current look:

First of all is that a gt? If not this isn't the section you would want to post in..........second of all on the spoiler, if I were you, I would save your money and get new rims before you do anything with the spoiler....

yeah i was gonna say you want the v6 forum, but yeah i think the new edges look nice w/o spoilers and like prodigy said, first thing is you need rims before any other appearance mod.

Why not? What does a spoiler have to do with the engine?

You ought to do something about those wheels though......

i say get some reumz or do a 4.6 swap with your same insurance.

also a drop is in need... the spoilerless cars look amazing when lowered.

I think if you choose to go wingless, you should definately lower it.  The new edges do look good wingless, but not so much if they are still sporting the 4x4 suspension.  Someone mentioned getting rims, I think that lowering it will even make the rims look better on your car.  At least it'll look more filled out anyway.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm definitely going to get new rims eventually. Previous owner put those on, and the tires are brand new, so not quite ready to replace those.

Dropping it sounds good though. How much should I lower it?

do u realize how much cost and work is required to do that?  he could easily sell his car and buy a gt for the same price.  keep his insurance price?  unless hes like 16 years old insurance is almost the same for a GT and a v6.

+1 Its really not worth it trying to do a 4.6L swap... He could sell and buy a GT or even better buy a 6speed LS1 ta/z28!
