I'm assuming, since this is in the general section and the way the question was asked, that it's a DD and won't get much over the speed limit for very long. I've been wrong before.

I'm actually planning to remove mine eventually so it's all personal preference. I think the lines are much cleaner without the spoiler and I'm not sure how much downforce that little bit of lip actually adds.

That said once i get all of my mods together I'm probably going to get a gt wing for the track so it's all up to you.

yah, definitely needs spoiler.

reminds me of the Z review bestmotoring did before they got canned(?) stating the car looked weird from the side/rear. well, it didnt have a rear spoiler to finish the look.

I think the Z looks bald without a spoiler.

A Brazillian isn't bad... but not on a Z

I would love to have the spoiler installed but I'm debating whether this would go against how the car came stock and I'm a stickler about keeping my Z stock. So the question is....how many of you would have it installed?

If your religion or principles will not allow a non stock car in your life then do not do it. If you want what you want, then do it.

Follow your heart.

Think the car looks great with or without. I prefer the bare azz look myself, but do what makes you happy.
