Ok guys im getting a carbon bootlid and im wondering should i order a carbon spoiler too heres pics of the car with and without the spoiler.

With spoiler definitly. I have seen a few spoiler-less FTO's and I have only seen one (seriously heavy modified one on the net) that looked well without it. My opinion obviously everyone to their own. But at the end of the day it's your car, don't decide because of other people's opinions.

I prefer the bare-ass look esp if you are going with a carbon bootlid - remember the reason you are going CF is for weightloss - so why add the weight of a (non functional) spoiler?

Its a cleaner look - and blends well with your side & rear skirts.
Plus without a rear spoiler - I bet you'll get less sh1t off the guards.

without the spoiler, definately.

will admit i can see alot more!

like the only spoiler i will put on the car is a carbon version R spoiler

Usually I'd say it has to have the spoiler but I think the no-spoiler look suits yours dan, and as mf says maybe the guards wont pounce as much on you.

I prefer the spoiler, but I thought you had sold this car?

got to agree no spoiler it suits your car and you are trying to save weight

by **colm_mcm** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 10:28 pm

saw this in the flesh today, looks much better without.

What does a side profile pic look like? That would give the best view IMHO

by **colm_mcm** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 10:31 pm

it makes the whole car look so much lower

My point exactly - its a much "Phatter" look. Only works though if the FTO is lowered and with side skirts and lower front bumper.
