Which spoiler did you purchase?

I'm torn between purchasing the wing or the lip spoiler. They both look great and give the car a slightly different look. If you purchased ib which one did you purchase? Was it OEM or aftermearket? How much did you pay?

Mine is the OEM lip spoiler. No idea how much it was, since it came as part of the A-Spec package. Dealer did give me a choice of which one I wanted though, and I chose subtlety.

I liked the lip better. For some reason I only like wings on coupes.

im more of a wing type person....im 17 tho and your 38 so we have different tastes. i feel the Wing Spoiler gives the TL more of a sporty racing look with the A-spec body kit, where as the Lip spoiler gives it more of a classy luxury look. i like both of them, just like the Wingspoiler a little more

I like the wing spoiler, because of the aggressive sporty look. The lip was to subtle for me.

I bought it for $180 shipped off ebay (OE clone).

Lip spoiler. It follows the lines of the car better. Got mine from ebay.

i got the lip spoiler for free (the salesman happens to be a close friend of my family). and its simple but makes a bold statement to the car: classy with a pinch of "you do not want none of this." so long as the aggressive look of the oem underbody spoilers are installed.

I actually like the wing spoiler, but I decided to go for the classy, refined look so I got the lip. Bought it from Ebay.

Lip looks more sleek and elegant that's my choice. The wing is imo for younger and more sportier look. I supose either one is better than none.

The subtle aggressive look with the lip by far rules over that wing....the wing cheapens the car imo.
