I Need Your Help!!!

Hey guys, I am going to be buying a spoiler in about a month. I have an stock (well a chrome license plate ) NBP 05 TL.

I need your opinions, as many as I can get, because I am on the fence with this.

I will be getting the windows tinted 35% all around (expect windshield) and EVENTUALLY (like next year) new (black) shoes...

Right now I need to know which kind of spoiler to get - help me out please

darksom1, I borrowed your beautiful NBP for my example - I hope you don't mind

Either this lip:



or this spoiler THANK YOU MICHAELBPR:



Im looking for a NBP spoiler for my NBP car

not a big fan on the high spoilers. Definitely get the Lip (low) spoiler, I have one sitting in my garage . I need to repaint it cuz some asshat (little brother's friend) dropped it and the paint on the corner is all jacked up.

New or old school. For some people, sophistication or ghetto.

The S comes with a lip and looks a lot more natural than a raised spoiler could ever hope to. I vote lip.

Lip spoiler or no spoiler, but definitely not the high spoiler.

Different strokes...

I know you want to do this based on cosmetics, but let me give you a little different perspective.
The redesigned TL has a high rear to begin with. If you don't have a back up camera, putting a spoiler on the rear will make it even more difficult to see behind you when backing up. That combined with tints will make it even worse for backing up, especially at night.

So you may want to consider that before adding one to it.

In my experience, the effect is negligible. I'm not sure this should be a significant factor in your decision process.

Get the lip. I have the high spoiler on my TSX but it looks a hell of a lot better than the high spoiler does on the TL.
