Default Opinions (Vortex Gen. Vs Rear Window Spoiler)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for opinions on what looks better between a rear window spoiler or vortex gens. I have vortex gens just above my rear window right now, and I'm on the fence about removing them.

I personally dislike both options and wouldn't put anything up there, but if I had to pick between the two... I'd go with a rear window spoiler.

Can you post a pic of your car with the vortex? I don't think I've seen one on our cars before

^ +1. Don't want this to come off as "hate" or anything, but I think it would be a good idea to remove those vortex gens... I insist

To each their own, as they say.

wow.. after seeing the vortex gens, im sure im not getting them on my car. +1 on rear roof spoiler, a discrete and low profile one will do, preferably carbon fiber, mate.. that will look classy.

Identity crisis. To each their own, but I literally yelled out when I saw that.
