Default Quad Exhaust + Rear Lip Installed This Weekend, What Spoiler To Go With?

Finally got to getting my quad exhaust done along with the JP Vizage replica rear lip. Will be getting it painted next week. Now all that I'm missing is a diffuser, trunk spoiler, and lightly smoked IS-F tails. I'm going for a spoiler first but can't decide between an IS-F spoiler for a cleaner look or the Wald spoiler. What would look best on my car?

Pictures as always!

Isf spoiler is subtle
Wald is more aggressive. But it only looks good molded imo

Here's mine molded w the quarters raised

^^^^ my thoughts exactly. Go with WALD to finish off that aggressive look. Exhaust looks sweet!

I think with such an aggresive booty you have to go with an aggresive spoiler, wald or ventross/vorsteiner trunk

With the vorsteiner trunk you don't have to worry bout any body work. It's direct bolt on. I only know one CL member with it

I've seen that trunk on a few IS-F's but not to fond of the spoiler shape. My friends got me a replica Wald spoiler back then but the fitment was too off to me and the only option was molding it. Went to the best body shop I know of and they said it's a piece that'll take 16 hours of work and they said with heat and weathering, it might separate from the trunk in the future. So they weren't too willing to do it and quoted me roughly $800 to mold it.

And I agree, it looks much better molded. But I don't want to buy an authentic one and mold it. I'm leaning towards the IS-F spoiler since I probably won't have as much fitment issues as the Wald.

molded mine myself last November. Gone through rain and snow and recently a serious wind storm Here and absolutely no issues yet. Looks as good as the day I molded it.

Lol, yeah I saw your thread back then. I have the same spoiler from the same seller as you. Body shop said it'll be fine for me until a few years down the road that it MIGHT start cracking on the edges where it bonds to the trunk. I took their word since they seem to know quite a bit on body work, especially with the cars they work on.

And I agree, but the WALD spoiler looks soooo damn boss. if you have the replica anyway, mold the hell out of it!

I think the IS-F spoiler is really ugly, I would rather have the 2IS spoiler instead.

However, I vote for you to get the wald spoiler; I think it still looks pretty decent even without molding it
