spoilerless or a nice aftermarket spoiler, like JP, looks best, IMHO

I agree, since the GS has such a short trunk lid I think it needs something there to accentuate it better.

I am debating this also, if I decide to add a spoiler it will be very subtle.

I think wingless looks classy when you start adding too many add on parts its takes away from class.

I don't have a pic at the moment, but, I like the sport design types of spoilers. I found a nice one online. (will post a pic soon.)

I agree. I hate to admit this but the OEM spoiler has always been my least favorite for the GS, the fact that it takes up the entire decklid always annoyed me. While searching for a GS I was PRAYING I would find one without the wing! lol
