I try never to post negative comments, but IMO the 2 spoilers together just look wrong. That AM spoiler you added might look pretty good if you removed the OEM lip spoiler, but both on the car at once is overkill. I think the factory lip is just enough.

Also, yours is the first TLS I've seen with pinstripes...afraid they get a second NO vote from me.

The pin stripe isnt too bad, does anybody know if the lip spoiler is screwed in or if it has strong adhesive? and what do yous think of one of the following spoilers on the TL....way too RICEY????? and keep in mind, these will be painted to match.

I think they'd look great on a TL...espceially if you run with 22X12" DUB spinnerz, lifted suspension (at least 6") lots of neons in the wheelwells, and curb feelers.

Dude, people that run those kind of spoilers would be lucky enough to score some decent 22's....I'm pretty sure hes gonna replace the stock 17" alloy wheels with 15" steelies and throw some chrome spinners on em'

Hey Wanderer....glad you have a good sense of humor!

In the end, like it's been said before in countless other threads, it's your car. Do what YOU like.

i think the factory lip is screwed in along with a strong adhesive... but pls, do not add those spoilers on a TL. the point of a spoiler is to create drag on the car when you're going super fast, so the car wouldnt fly off or anything.. you're never going to be going that fast anyways.

Thanks, 11 holes will be hard to get filled in probably, and i dont see how if i got something installed on my car, it would be embarrasing to anybody else. But oh well

I'm sure someone without a spoiler would be more than glad to do a swap.

How about the euro style mid spoiler, with the stock lip? I am considering adding this since I sort of like the look of it... what you guys think of that?
