Default Spoiler or no spoiler?

Thoughts, opinions. I have a spoiler off my 2002 GS430 that was totaled out. I'm debating on whether I should take the time and energy to put it on my 2001 GS430 that doesn't have one. After taking it off the other one, it seems like it would be a lot of work to get it done.

Anyone have previous experience doing this before and if it's even worth it? Both cars are Crystal White so I wouldn't have to paint it when it's done.

Any thoughts, comments, etc would be helpful.

Thanks!

You would need to drill 5 holes into your trunk and run wiring for your third brake light. Whether it's worth it depends on if you want to.

Had a trunk with sports design black logo.

Its sitting in storage now replaced with a trunk I bought off a member on here (wingless, spoilerless).

no spoiler looks 10x better imo

No spoiler hands down however I've always wanted to see a GS with oem wing painted black with supporting mods.

I hated that spoiler so much I took it off and had plastic caps in those holes until I found a wingless trunk

I want a wingless trunk too. So far I have had no luck with finding anyone selling one.

Hello, sorry I kind of have been MIA, started a new job and getting rid/parting out a GS. I decided not to do the spoiler, I like it without and it seems like it would be more work to put it on. Thanks for your thoughts, opinions.
