Lip Spoiler Option Research

Alright, so everyone has that m3/m5 or oem spoiler going on. Rondog tried create a decklid but problems arose. Another member did the new IS spoiler. Anyways the point is I just wished there were more options. I saw the oem lip spoiler for the 350z and it looks nice.

Anyways our trunk is 47" in length so anything 47" will fit, 46" if you don't mind it being short a tad bit. Here's a link to a site that gives specs on most cars. it's a bit outdated.

Its was the GS lip I had, but it was too short for my taste. There are other aftermarket lip spoilers made for the CL. I have one sitting at my house going on this spring

I wonder if underst8's lip spoiler would look good on top of a OEM spoiler? I think it might be cool. anyone seen it before?

I don't think it would really work with the lines...mostly would look a bit ricey

I guess I will never know. I dont think it would look ricey at worst and it would still be subtle if done correctly. A huge wing with lines that dont flow with the car is ricey to me.

i don't think it would ricey; i don't think that would work at all. the two spoilers are different shapes with different curvatures and the OEM spoiler is considerably longer than the M5 lip.

what about 03+ accord sedan lip spoiler or the newer camry lip spoiler. i've been looking at different spoilers on the road and they look like they would be workable.
