    I think it will be " cool " if it will fit your car. If you have other mods in your car like skirts, mags etc. then the spoiler will look good. But if your car is just PURE stock, then you added a spoiler on it then it wont look good.

    is it the one similar to the F1 rear wing? other's call it parang sampayan? if that's mine i would rather spend it in other things like paint protection, audio and other upgrades.

    sa mga sedans, di na uso ang mga malalaking spoilers. ducktail type na.

    it's no longer cool to have a spoiler attached to you car. why don't you try the ducktail that the other guys here have suggested?

    If you want to increase the grip on the road go for the spoiler, but if want your wheels look maporma lang and look cool, i agree with the previous comment, go for ducktail.

    You can call this number 7316273. Along E.Rod, halos katapat ng QI. They can have mods for your car.

    if you ask me, ducktails are better because of the clean look.
    for your pizza, i suggest get the EVO wing or GSR trunk wing, rather than double blades. for me, panget ung non body color stick-legs ng double blade types.

    spoilers are dated and out of style IMHO

    For me, OEM spoilers, like the one above is alright since it jives with the body kit it came with the original design styling. Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't bolt-on an aftermarket wing - go ahead - just make sure that it sits neatly on the edge, not oversized like it was designed by Boeing for the 747 .

    badbadtz.carlo made a perfect suggestion for a neat ducktail.

    [SIZE=3]Yup! Spoilers are still cool. Just don't over do it...[/SIZE]

    I had my 1988 Maxima dressed with custom spoilers... my design. Not too flashy, not too modern, and not too aggressive. It must jive with your car's model. Tapos tinernuhan ko ng chrome set of mags & twin stainless exhaust pipes. Yung iba kasi basta may pera ay salpak ng salpak.

    I believe that it is also recognized as a lip spoiler because of its low-rise styling. Yup, it's really more for aesthetics more than anything but heck, it sure adds good spice to an otherwise non-inspiring rear end :thumbup:

    This is one of the best I've seen:

    i never thought they were cool to begin with. if done properly, they're supposed to reduce drag and lift, but in most cases, the opposite usually occurs. plus unnecessary weight is being added to the car.

    "Are spoilers still cool?"

    It never was. Ducktails are the way to go. Since the Box-Type Lancer.

    Ducktail will be much more cooler for your car.

    Want more mechanical grip? Upgrade your mags and tires. Want better handling? Buy stiffer springs and better shocks.

    An aluminum spoiler won't do anything for your car's performance except cause more drag and possibly more understeer. On a track-only car, you can pair one with a front-splitter and get some good aero grip, but only by properly tuning and reinforcing it. On the road, it'll just make your car accelerate slower and use more gas. And if you don't mount it properly, it'll warp the hell out of your trunk.

    Get skirts. Get mags. Forget the sampayan... este... spoiler.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    kung Evolution Spoiler pwede.. (kung naka evolution bodykits ka )

    Ductail spoiler mas ok. at mas malinis tingnan.

    Kung mapapansin mo, mga Civic FD nalang ngayon ang may mga malalaking spoilers kasi yun ang usong theme for FDs.

    honestly? i dont find it cool, specially those big blade sampayan look.
    i find the stock spoiler better.

    and yes, the spoiler that you are planning to install will distort your rear vision while driving...

    go for the ducktail type, tapos mag euro look ka... ;) mas malinis tignan.
