Alright, I just got a roof spoiler, and after installing it, I realized that there's too many spoilers in the back. I was thinking of removing the trunk spoiler since it might make it look better. This is what i'm thinking of doing.

Image

Image

Image

Anyways, this is how my car looks right now with both spoilers on.

Image

Image

Image

But as you can see, my roof spoiler isn't as baller as his. . . So it leaves me with 3 choices.

1. Take off the trunk spoiler & leave the roof spoiler.

2. Take off the roof spoiler & leave the trunk spoiler.

3. Remove everything and sport this look.

Image

Anyways, what do you guys think? I'm thinking of taking off the roof spoiler and the trunk spoiler, or maybe just take off the trunk spoiler :gotme

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

both of those examples have very aggressive aero... so its hard to say

that roof spoiler is hard to pull off without aero...

Do your own look and keep both. Your thinking to hard about it. It looks good how it "currently" is.

i say leave the roof spoiler, itll look even better as you progress with the car, with a kit etc. the trunk spoiler however doesnt look good at all, and wont look any better with other exterior additions. get rid of the trunk spoiler and keep the roof piece is my oppinion

Stock spoiler is a bit meh in the first place, remove it!

Later you can be a baller and buy a GP Sports spoiler to compliment your roof spoiler. :P

the gp sports is probably the best. but maybe just remove the trunk spoiler and get the window visors to follow out the flow of the roof spoiler

here is a link to them if your interested http://www.frsport.com/Genuine-OEM-Niss ... _8092.html

Actually. . . I ordered those exact OEM window visors from frsports a week ago, and installed them on my car today. In the pictures I provided in my first post, they're in it, but there's just not enough light/good angles to really see it.

Here's some pictures I took for means of showing the window visors. Again, the angles suck, but w/e, you can clearly see them.

I'll probably take better angled pics when there's light out, cause you can't really see them.

The window visors have clips and double sided tape. So yea, it won't be coming off, that's for sure.

Yea. . . Umm.. . The only thing holding it up is 3M double sided tape. So it can eventually be taken off by someone if they REALLY wanted it.

yeai it takes some time to get one off. i had a rear window visor on my civic and when i took it off it took a while to get it. that stuff sticks very well. and it takes a little working to get it to come off without trying to warp or snap.

and to op. thank you for the info on the visors. ill will prolly order some around new years

Do your own thing man. What do YOU think looks good?
If it were mine i would not have any of that s*** on it. I like pure clean lines, and all that stuff disrupts the mojo of the line IMHO. But its your car broski!

Alright, I just finished taking off the spoiler etc. Here's the pics! I think it definitely looks much better, and to top it all off, I can actually see a lot better though my rear view mirror/rear window since there isn't a spoiler anymore.

Image

Image

Image

These 2 side pics are my favorite, no spoiler makes a huge difference, look at that rear trunk how it bends up, beautiful!

Image

Image

These 2 last pics are of the window visors.

Anyways, thanks a lot for the opinions guys! I've always wanted to take the spoiler off the trunk, but I thought I might end up regretting it. . . Boy was I wrong :woot:

Did you fill up the holes with something?

No trunk spoiler and roof spoiler looks sweet.

Yea, the holes were fiberglassed. I would have used bondo, but overtime, it can fall out.

Call me a ricer, but I've always thought the Evo style vortex generators looked awesome.
