Don’t do it. Just my opinion.

I couldn't find a rear spoiler so made one. This is the second version, the first was bigger and a little more aggressive like a Porsche rear tail but it was just too big and heavy so I scaled it back.

If you like it, do it. Who cares what me or anyone else thinks about it. If your not sure if you like it then I wouldn't.

Nice job. The only thing i don't like is the original spoiled distracts from the wing, looks too busy.

I love the SC the way it is. Let's keep it classy.

Neil, I think it looks good. As long as you like it it's great. If others like it as well, it's a bonus. I've always liked to add a little something to my cars, & just about everyone appreciates & like what I do. Without going overboard, we only have one life, so let's make the best of it, before we get too old and say I wish I had done this or that.

@Bgw70 yes that's right, it was based on a rear spoiler from an old Toyota Celica. I agree spoilers can indeed detract from the original lines of the car. My SC is a project car so was always going to be a bit 'experimental.'

Different strokes for different folks. Do what suits your tastes. Some of you don’t like my shark fin antenna but I love it. It gives my SC a unique look.

I like this last example. Is this a Seibon Wing?

This is an interesting wing. I like the thought about Porshe. Did it effect your trunk opening?
