Here you go. I didn't want to post the other one because your plate can be seen. Maybe you should use MS Paint and cover it.

Fixed the pics (you had the URLs of the gallery pages that show the pics instead of the URLs for the pics themselves in the image tags).

The spoiler is definitely not my style. I don't really think it's the Q's style, either.

Well, the general shape is close enough to stock that it might actually work. I do think the pieces on the shoulder are a little excessive and not aesthetically pleasing. Definitely makes the OEM one look subtle, and we know that it does work aerodynamically.

Main thing I cannot tell, is there a brake light like OEM in the center section?

+1. Its cool, if its a show car. I know this guy who does tuner car shows out here in San Diego, and that Q looks like something that can be in the show. Its cool because there are many cars and they don't have to be brand spank'n new cars, just creative.

OK here we go:I dont know if i like it either. Although it is growing on me.It seems to be liked in the urban setting.It is on with 3M tape, and thus not for ever.Origional spoiler in my garage , boxed up.Has no 3rd brake light.Covers key hole (glad i just replaced trunk lock solenoid.)It does not extend past the bumper.It does seem to have a positive aerodynamic effect.It is lighter then the stock spoiler.The side skirts are actually cool.My Wife has not noticed it yet.My dad asked if i needed more space to place a Beer ??My 7 yr old thinks it is cool.No it is not a show car.Not sure how long it will be on the car, but it did cost me $300 to paint and mount, so maybe a year so i can amortize the cost to under $1.00 a day.James

I wonder if that is an original Stillen spoiler? Years ago they marketed a 3 piece spoiler that looked like that

I don't think it looks that bad at all. I always felt the g50's looked a little *dumpy* in the back (yes, I'm wearing my Kevlar).

If you could make it OEM (key hole, light), that would be great.

I like your stance on the subject matter. Its to bad its not a show car. I was at a car show and they had a 1997 Q45 luxed out. I mean dropped with curtains bar in the back, black on black. I was with a girl and she saw the car and said, Yeah thats you. Two years later I am pushing a Cute45 (Q45)

I'm quite a hater of unnecessary rice, and was expecting to hate this spoiler...

But it actually looks pretty decent. A hell of a lot better than the generic T-wing that most dropkicks stick on their cars. Suits the Q's lines too, I reckon.

Looks different but I kinda like it. It would be nice to get an overall picture of the car or complete profile to see it better.

Damicci's old spoiler?

The side picture is a bit off to me, but the rear picture doesn't look bad. If it's the same one, I think it looks better on the President trunk.

Higher resolution does help the image.

Camera phones are phones, not real cameras.

Still kind of ho hum for me. OEM looks elegant in comparison.

No CHMBL in spoiler? That would be a no go killer for me.

Yeah, that kind of puts a damper on it for us t guys. Can't drive without a CHMSL (not that I'd want to if I could with all the morons on the road).

Center high mount brake light. The 3rd brake light is in the trunk spoiler on Touring Qs (as I'm sure you know), so this one would leave the car without one.

yeah, I prefer the more appropriate original Brake Lihgt as opposed to the later Stop Light as one is not always coming to a stop when one applies the brakes.

Large SUV drivers would be a terror as many are too high to see the tailights up close.

Good start! Now all you have to do is lower the Q, add some new/larger wheels, and get the muffler tips replaced with a better looking catback or can.
