General rule of thumb is this: leave the factory body alone. No spoiler's, body kits, or other add-ons. They make the car look cheap, tacky, and redneck/ricer.

There are however some exceptions, most noticeably Eric's 'vert. That is an example of doing body mods the right way. :)

I like the wings on our cars. Nothing ricy, but the wings tht came factory (or at least that LOOK like they came factory) look pretty nice. Someone has a late 80's Trans Am wing on their bird and that looked good too....

Doesn't Eric have the spoiler from a BMW M3 on the back of his 'vert? It looks killer, too

I do agree, if the aftermath looks like it came that way from the factory, it's a plus in my book. When it looks like an after-thought, that's not any good. Then again, it's not my car and not my money, so long as they're happy with the gaudy wings, more power to 'em...
If worms had daggers, birds wouldn't f**k with 'em

    Toss it far away. It's too small, and these cars just don't look right with them. If you don't want to throw it away,at least donate it to your nearest ricer charity.

I didn't realize you wanted to put it on with the wire hubcaps...

I'd keep the decklid anyways and save it for if/when you get different rims.
