The s5 spoiler.

The s4 just kinda looks like "wtf is the point of that?" and is rather tacky.

S5? S4? I was not aware they were any differnt.

Both S4 and S5 had the Nrmal spolier and the sport spolier which were the same for both styles as far as i know.

I like the sleek look of having no spoiler. I have been tempted to take off mine.

Thats the normal one in his sig. The one you are thinking of is the sport version.

Thinking about it i am 99% sure that it is not S4/S5 differnce. I have 2 S4's. One of them has the sport spolier and the other the normal kind. they both look like they were from the factory that way.

I like both the stock spoilers and the Wangan Wing... Everything else to me is a big NO on a 2nd gen...

I look at it this way, if it's small and secrete and is only for looks, it'll most likely look good and I like it.
If it was removed from an aircraft, it's too big...
If it was a "Remove before flying" tag on it, it's too big...
If anyone can sit on it straight, it's too big...
If people mistake your car for a hot-wheel, it's too big...
If your FC has no wing, it looks good anyway (unless it's like mine with cosmetic work half-done).

This is one of the few threads on the 2nd Gen that doesn't have "Help!", "This isn't working", "My wiring is bosched!", "Coolant problem", etc.

^ Prolly 'cuz this a tech section. Mods, plz move thread to lounge or interior/exterior/audio. J/k.

I think it depends. I like the look of the smallest stock spoiler and may get that. Otherwise my reaction rangers from indifference to opposed.

I actually like the look of the spoiler on my '86. The later spoilers are a little too big for my tastes. Almost remind me of the awful Kamanari spoilers on Z31's.

S5 spoiler all the way! Any FC that is wingless just looks plain from the rear.
