Question What is the best spoiler?

I've had my 03 TL type S (Satin Silver) for close to two years and it's time to add a little something.

What spoiler would your recommend? Pics please!

Thanks in advance.

my opinion:

1. A-Spec/Inspire Spoiler
2. Mugen Spoiler
3. M5 Lip Spoiler
4. Wings West Spoiler
5. OEM Spoiler
6. Park Bench Spoiler

^ What is the price range for the ones named above?

Anyone have pics of the different kinds? I also am interested in a spoiler but with no brake light. Recommendations?

Could someone post pics of the spoilers? I have only seen the OEM spoiler and the M5 lip. Not really sure what the others look like.

Dark DJ: Thanks for the pics! I think the Mugen and the WW are the best looking ones besides the OEM. The A-Spec and ValueSport are ugly I think.

yeah no problem, i thought that once n for all there should be a thread w/ all the spoiler picz in it so that next time noobies asks these questions, like i did back in the day, we can point them to one succint post!

Honestly i cant decide which spoiler i like best, but my top would have to be Mugen, WW and A-Spec. the A-Spec one is out of the question because you can only get it if you own an A-Spec unless u wanna get it from Japan like Songoku. So financially its between the WW and the Mugen, but if the Mugen knockoff comes thru, then ill be definately purchasing that one.

I wouldn't purchase the Mugen one simply because the sides are GLUED on. Unless all the parts are screwed on, to me it's not even an option.

Wings West Flush mount spoiler is the a great spoiler. It looks awesome with the OEM kit but that Inspire spoiler with the camera is the shit! That dude songoku is the only person I know that has it...... bastard!

That does not look like a Value Sports rear lip spoiler. PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll show you what it looks like.

I'm liking the Wings West or Mugen the best. Of those two, which way would you go? And do they come painted?

Thanks for the info, and esp. the pics. They helped!

You can't buy the A-spec spoiler. It's only available in Canada and unless you are buddy buddy with the parts mananger, you can't get it unless you own an A-spec TL.

mugen, but if it needs all that glue like others have stated then go with the wings west, I just don't like the flaps hanging off, that is why I think the mugen is hot....

Wow A-Spec/Inspire spoiler looks really nice.... Most likely can't get one of those here...

What would be a decent price for WW spoiler painted (good paint)? I think I will get one soon.
