Post OEM vs WW spoiler

I'm looking for a spoiler rite now for my silver TL. Just wanted some input. Factory-style... or WW spoiler. I have the factory body kit by the way.

It depends on taste , personally I like the WW , even though I have a factory one ( late to get the info about WW ).

i only like the mugen but out of those, i prefer the WW. it doesnt have an air pass through so you wont be creating additional drag (if that matters to you)

i like the look of the ww better. it seems cleaner

Yeah, I bought the OEM about three months ago before I even knew they had other kits for this car. If you want to keep your rear deck mounted brake light active, do the WW.

If I didn't have the full kit, I probably would do it WingsWest style,

I'd be interested in Satin Silver OEM body kit if you guys are planning to switch if the price is right and the kit in excellent condition I held back on the body kit cause I thought it was too expensive just for a body kit. Personally I like the OEM better than the others.

OEM, I guess I've always liked the space between the trunk lid (except that I lose 2-3HP with the drag )

That WW spoiler is really nice. I think it compliments the car well and keeps the smooth lines of the TL....

I like the shape of the Inspire spoiler better even they are very similar. But due to the price difference I opted for the WW.

i always thought taht since i only have a factory kit with STOCK rims and NO springs, it would only look right with a factory spoiler. If i'm wrong, can someone tell me where i can get this wings west spoiler for cheap.
