Stack them for double the downforce and double the coolness.

Well, I'm thinking the back end of your car could be paint-less, or mismatched paint where the previous spoiler was. That'd be a real downer. Plus, I think your sport spoiler is more functional.

However, I DO like the s5 Mazda spoiler's look better. Your call as to whether your car would make the transition all right, and whether you want that lil bit of extra downforce from your sport spoiler

From a purely aerodynamic point of view, the sport spoiler is better because it has significantly less drag. Then again, we are talking speeds in excess of 100 mph. At normal highway speeds, I really don't think it makes much difference.
