Default Picture Request - Window Lip

My curious hat is on at the moment, and I was curious to know if anyone has got a picture or has seen someone with an RX that did not have that window "lip" installed at the top of the rear glass of an RX. Wondering what it would look like with out it. Picture for part I am talking about.

Maybe some Photoshop whiz will take pity on us.

Believe there would be issues removing the rear spoiler lip in filling the gaps left behind. Wires coming out for the brake lights, and the need for possible trim pieces to make things look right.

I remember someone had to replace theirs or had theirs repainted. What did it look like with it off?

I completely agree, hence the curious hat and not the modifier hat

In Japan they have the modified spoiler which is actually a wrap around. I must say I like it.

Also, if you get tye spoiler painted with the same as the body, it looks nice.

I'm not a fan of those wrap around spoilers. IMO they ruin the lines of the car and tries to get the back to look like 1st gen.
