Should I 'WING' it?

All right, here's the deal. I've got an s4 n/a that I've had rebuilt, transmission swapped, emblems shaved, whole car repainted, and done all the little things like exhaust, intake (in progress) to. I may eventually go EFI supercharged, but want to stick with this car, simply because I'mattached to it, and want to see what all I can do with my s4 n/a. (I know this will sound stupid to some turbo guys, but I'm not looking for BIG power, just more fun with a fun car)
Here is my car as it is now:




ANYWAYS, I originally liked the clean look without a spoiler, but have since decied that I want something along the lines of a spoiler/wing. I probably shouldn't say this on this thread, but functionality of a spoiler is a really pretty unimportant for me. I just want something that either adds to the body lines, or makes the car look a bit more aggressive. I'd at one point decided on a Supra-style spoiler, and found two that I could obtain. I want to know which you like better:

Erebuni Corp. spoiler 373:
Thsi spoiler mounts on top, right next to the hatch, in case you can't tell. It's got a small LED strep in the middle.



Or, do I go for this one that a forum member has? IDK what brand it is. He seems to be a bit hard to get ahold of, but if I shoot him an actual ovver, but anyhow. Here it is:






Oh, and I have painting equipment, so I can spray and clearcoat on my own.

These are really the two that I like best, but I'm not TOTALLY opposed to either getting a stock spoiler, or keeping it clean. So, let me know what you think!

What is wrong with your rear wiper?

I would either get an S4 sport spoiler on it or the spoiler corksport sells.

My rear wiper motor is either frozen or dead. I know there's some rust back there, so I'm gonna try to WD40 it and get it working, or search for a replacement motor next time I go home. I ended up changing the wiper to sit back up in the stock position, btw.

I had a vert spoiler on my rex.. it looked pretty good, yea the stocker spoilers go with the cars lines kinda.. anything else is just ricey, unless your cars is sticker tuned, nice body kit and lowered, then get a Giant Carbon Fiber one as in the Drift scene...
What ever you decide just make sure its properly mounted so it doesn't fly off on the freeway...

hmmmm..... something about spoilers and colors on the car.... That erubini looks real good with that blaze red, but IMO, silver looks better a little more low profile.

I voted for stocker, because those other spoilers are far too ricy and ugly as hell.

S4 always look better wingless, but then you'll need to get rid of the S5 tail lights.
I voted for other, because I will only go RE-A gtc wing. Go big or go home.

I prefer the stock Rubber S4 spoiler to any of the others I have seen. I had a friend in HS 10+ years ago that had the Supra style wing on the car. Ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life. Plus had those horrible 3 spoke wheels.

Please do not ruin such a nice looking car with that horrible wing. Spend $50 at a Salvage yard and buy the factory spoiler. No Painting required.

The supra style isn't really bad, but I wouldn't put one on my car.

Build it yourself.

I voted for no spoiler, but the OEM rubber is good too. Just not that awful goalpost thing. Looks too much like an old POS Eclipse, IMO. Your car looks so good, crisp & clean the way it is.

Which Supra-style spoiler?

THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OTHER THREAD, BUT WITH ONLY 2 OPTIONS!

All right, here's the deal. I've got an s4 n/a that I've had rebuilt, transmission swapped, emblems shaved, whole car repainted, and done all the little things like exhaust, intake (in progress) to. I think I want a Supra-style or Super Style spoiler. I have two options that I can see.
Firstly, here is my car as it is now:




IF IT IS DOWN TO THESE TWO OPTIONS, which do you like better?

You're more than welcome to post if you like, but if you have an opinion, PLEASE vote in the poll!

Erebuni Corp. spoiler 373:
Thsi spoiler mounts on top, right next to the hatch, in case you can't tell. It's got a small LED strep in the middle.



Or, do I go for this one that a forum member has? IDK what brand it is. Here it is:






Oh, and I have painting equipment, so I can spray and clearcoat on my own. Obviously whatever I get will need paint, and I can do that quite easily.

Leave it no spoiler. When the car is slammed no spoiler looks really good.

It also happens to be a body kit and spoiler company, that I believe is about to go defunct.
