I'd usually say ditch the whale tail, because I usually can't stand them. However, with your ground effects, pansport overfenders, and RE-Amemiya mirrors the whale tail kinda fits with the rest of the car.

What?!

I was jelous of how my girls fc came with no wing. Previous owner sold the stock s4 wing from my car and left holes in it with hopes of one day installing an s5 wing. Girlfriend bought me a duckbill wing for a special occasion to cover the holes and it has a close look to spoiler less. I can't wait for it to arrive.

I am all about stock spoiler on the rx!! They always look like something is missing without them...weak in a way if that makes sense. lol Interesting fenders...not sure if I'm a fan of them....maybe more pics?

Like the spoiler. Hate that ugly bump on the front fenders. See how it interupts the lateral line from the front. Like an early Tiburon.
Yeah, after a second look, Those fender bumps suck *****.
If you do take off the spoiler, I'll buy it.

Those overfenders are usually to give more room for fat tires. Function over form. Though I'm sure someone out there simply likes how they look. Personally, when possible, I like to have the best of both worlds.

i took it off for now, some pics. and my fronts are a 9.5 with no spacer so i need the flares. the rear had to put spacers, note i have the re side skirts with the front ,so it gives it different look from the cork sport side skirts that i had on before..
