Oem Spoiler Or Lip Spoiler???

Simple question guys and I need help with a decision. If everyone knows I had a bad rear end accident back on the 25th. My guy at the shop found a cl trunk with a oem spoiler but i'm debating if I should keep that or put my lip spoiler back on?

Hey SG, where did you pick up your M5 lip? There's some on ebay, but they're replicas and i've heard they don't fit as nicely.

personally i think the lip spoiler looks better when your looking at it just alone on the rear of the trunk.... but when you step back and look over the car as a whole the OEM spoiler looks better ---

the rear of the CL is kind of ugly the way it slopes down at an angle compared to most cars on the road with less of an angle(reminds me of a previous generation taurus - disgusting) -- the OEM spoiler helps in a big way to break that up.

x's 3. The rear is fuuuuuugly without the OEM spoiler. I just wish the cars with spoilers had the rear window brake light deleted. I have my 3rd brake light disconnected. It looks stupid with the spoiler brake light too.

shit, guess I'm stuck with the oem spoiler. I called this morning and it was already painted over already and don't want to do the body work to take it off and patch up the holes. O well, I guess i'll be rocking this for a while heh. Thanks for the opinion guys!

For me it's either Spoiler or no spoiler...but that's just me.

Not a "fan" of the lip look.

Well put. The only thing I don't like about the oem spoiler is when washing it it is a pain in the ass to get underneath the sides without opening the trunk.

im about the same problem... i was looking for a trunk lid with spoiler or just the oem spoiler alone and i've found one on the craigslist for crazy cheap 50$ + shipping but the guy just stoped responding and i dont know what to do. i like OEM more than lip but lip is much cheaper and easier to install.

BTW

WTB OEM spoiler to my CLS

I too have an OEM spoiler, my only beef is I think it dates the car and looks too much like an Accord. I agree we need something with the ass end of our cars but I think I would prefer a lip spoiler.

Ugh so true...I think going completely spoiler-less is a fine idea indeed..
