Lip or Wing spoiler???

I am about to order a spoiler for my TL, and am having a hard time deciding if I want to go with a lip or wing spoiler.

I had thought I was set on the wing spoiler, but after checking out some pics around here I am torn....

I will also be doing the underbody kit in june or so.

I personally like the lip, but in the end you make the final decision

Lip. I think the "wing" was fun and looked good years back. The lip will add a little character and flare to the trunk, without it being too much. I have only seen one or two TLs on this site, where I have said, wow that wing looks good, since it went with other mods that the owner has done. But, it is YOUR car. What do you want to see everytime you look at your car?

Lip no questions asked. Spoilers just don't appeal to me on TLs.

OOO... I thought the OP was getting this for himself, I must of overread the part where he says he's trying to "appeal" to Vinsta13's taste's. in that case, to make Vinsta happy, you should get the lip.

lol, J/k.... seriously, you should't ask this type of question on here, most ppl will tell what THEY like,... honestly the TL looks hawt wit both, so you might aswell FLIP a coin

Yonker914, YOUR car is HAWT BRO!!

There are 2 different group buys going on right now with 2 different AZ vendors. Look at the main page in the 3GTL forum for both of these threads. I'm too lazy to link you to them......

Its $280 for a lip?? I thought I saw on ebay from thespoilerstore that it's around $150 for shipping. I'd say go with the lip, but that's my personal preference

Get the lip from the spoilerstore for around $100 with bing cashback. But if your getting the a-spec kit, I've seen some without either and it looks good. The lip also looks good. The wing doesn't...of course that's my opinion.

I think the wing would look good only if you have the A-Spec kit to go with it.

I was debating on which one to get for my TL and I decided not to get any for now. No way I wanna spend $350 on the OEM lip that's hardly noticable and I don't know if I can fully trust those cheap e-bay ones. My car is not garaged all year long.

I think spoilers have become such a standard item on cheaper domestic cars and they usually don't go well with more luxury cars.

Get the Trunk Lip, that mod is like night and day and makes a huge difference to the appearance of the back of the TL. When I removed mine, my TL felt almost naked. But it was just to put back on because the mounting tape was starting to fade.
