I'm assuming with the Greddy you would need to drill holes, judging from the pic. As for GT wing, I think adding it by itself to a stock car would look funny.

I got the OEM spoiler, but I really didn't have a choice as it was already on the car when I bought it.

OEM standard spoiler, if i didn't have to drill holes for the greddy that would have been my first choice

I think it is possible but the rear spoiler on the RCF is speed activated and that sort of makes it pointless unless you can figure a way to wire/activate it.

It can also be manually activated. However, IMHO, it is a bit try-hard to make a lower spec car look like something it is not.

Searching for a subtle wing spoiler, but haven't found one yet. Thanks for compiling some of the current options. I enjoy the varied opinions. Funny how things grow on you over time. Makes it tough to pull the trigger.

If it can be raised or lowered manually that great but it defeats the purpose of an electrically operated spoiler which is down force when you need it, otherwise why spend the $$$ for it.
