OEM Lip Spoiler or wingless?

I am able to get the OEM rear spoiler (replica) painted for about $220, what do you guys think? Should I got with the spoiler or stay wingless?

I think the spoiler looks great on the new TSX and the TLs, but I am not too sure if it will look weird on the RL especially without the entire A Spec kit. I feel like the profile of the rear looks strange because of the high angle in the trunk curve.........Help me chose.....post up some pics.......

Very much personal preference. I've thought about it for my '06, which has A-spec wheels but no body kit. I figure that since I've hemmed and hawed so much that I'm just not that into it. I did see a black RL with the spoiler, and noticed that the paint around it was starting to crack. That reminded me that the spoiler install requires holes to be drilled, and the use of double-sided sticky tape. Some on the board have installed with only the tape. I don't think it adds all that much. The only reason I toyed with the idea was to freshen up (mess with) the car a bit as it ages.

Much better on my '06 w/o A-Spec. You won't be sorry.

I keep looking for a spare WRX wing in Lakeshore Silver, to one -up you old guys. No luck so far, but I am expanding to consider the Evo wing, too.

I think the lip-spoiler looks good on the RL, but it won't make you as fast as mine will!!

They didn't call it a "spoiler" for nothing.
