Came into some unexpected cash in a class action lawsuit I applied for last year and got the check for this weekend. I have had and S281 spoiler and a Shinoda chin spoiler for some time now waiting for paint and the time to wait is over! The Shinoda chin is staying, no option there as I like the way it smoothes out the transition to the side exhaust skirts and love the uniqueness of it in a sea of clones.

But after taking off the stock spoiler to test fit the S281, I am half inclined to fill the holes and have it painted.....

Pretty sure I don't need to give an example of what the S281 looks like as we are all familiar with it. The back end is not totally aired out yet and I like the slammed look with out the spoiler as it seems to make it look a little lower and a little more simple at the same time. Half temped to get a 2nd v6 lid and get it painted as well as the S281 to swap around from time too time....

So the question is, S281 or naked?

need a better side shot without the wing..but i've seen a few of our cars look decent without wings as long as they're low enough..and you've got that covered

rock the s281! it brings more attention the rear from the front view, which makes the car even out more, which i personally like.

They are just decals I got off of ebay.

I have rarely been a fan of them spoilerless but now looking at it in person layed out with the chin makin it look even lower I have to say I like it. Just looks simple/clean, makes the back end seem low but wide. Gonna call and see what I can get a V-6 decklid for just out of curiosity....

Your thining of these that I made, or this ONE that I made. The ones on the windows now are just decals I found on ebay a couple years ago. I made this one side just too see what it might look like. I WILL be making a mold of these and making a few sets other then my own if for no other reason then to offset the mold supplies which isn't cheap. Need too finish the stereo and its #1 on my list then trust me I want too see these in fiberglass on my car, would love to see some others rock them.

No worries its been on the back burner so far from the stereo and intake, cut outs, air-ride, ect....... I would still need to finish the other side before I would go towards a mold. I have all the wood pieces cut out just need to shape/glue/fill/sand/sand/sand/sand.....

fresh pics with better light - and the folks are split on their opinion(first time I have asked them on the car funny enough).

Mom says she always liked the spoiler and dad says he likes it with the simpler look. Can't make everyone happy everytime, but I can my me happy this time! I think.... What do you think?
