keep the spoiler off, it gives the celi a nice curvy look especially with the oem splitters on!

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Id keep it cause im too lazy to dig it out, and fill the holes than get it painted again.

But then again it does look a little better without it. I say make it so that you can take it off on days you feel gloomy and on, on days you feel happy.

Take a good walk around your car and see if you like the look from all angles. Since you have rims and skirts/splitters, I reckon it'll look good either way. Personally I reckon if the car is stock, it should keep the spoiler.

I voted keep... to me the celica calls for a spoiler... but thats my opinion... seems like most like wingless..


but its up to what you like. The nice thing is you can put it on... look at it.... then pull it off... look at it... easy to know what you prefer.

Good Luck smile.gif

i had mine off for a few months and the car kind of didint have the same stability at high speeds. i put the gt4 blocks on, and felt a huge difference in the feel of the car. so i say keep the spoiler cause it makes a difference in how the car feels on the road.

well, I never take the car over 80. At what speed do you think the spoiler really begins to have that effect? I haven't driven it without the spoiler yet.

Same,

I've thought if I go with an aftermarket wing I would have to go with a cf drag wing. It fits the curve of the back like it was meant to be and it sits low enough not to look like the sky-high aluminum wings.

Romas's version with the duck tail in nice as well.
