Default Trunk/Spoiler ideas

Hey everyone, I'm shaving my trunk lock, and also have a spare trunk with wing, I was wondering does anyone have any cool ideas to mod the factory wing or trunk that I could do so that it looks cooler and stands out, let me know, I'm open to anything.

Not much you can do with the stock one unless you want to paint it another color or add racing stripes. Would suggest using hose gaskets to lift it off the trunk lid before it starts to rust under there. Here are some other options:

SD



SLP Gen I




SLP Gen II





Personally I'm particular to Gen I

yeah those are nice spoilers but all my money is going to my final audio system, so I was trying to figure a way to alter or hack or do whatever I could to make the factory stuff look cooler

You cant really make the factory stuff look "cooler" for say...you can make it look different though.

Examples, I have seen some mount a 3rd brake light, such as an LED light bar inside the spoiler before and have it flush mounted.

I have also seen some take the stock spoiler and put it on spacers, and elevating the spoiler off the trunk lid...like with 3-4" hollow poles/rods. don't know about the last one honestly. Its different for sure.

yeah I thought about the third brake light ideas, which they still might be a good possibility, has anyone ever tried just going without the spoiler? or does it look too weird?

Sure...the GP SE's had no spoilers from the get go...then I think GM started cleaning house, and started adding them onto that model as well as a GT/GTP front bumper cover. The rear bumper and lower side skirts stayed off though.

I think our cars look really wrong with no spoiler on them. Just ugly IMO.

I am half way looking for another spoiler like mine so I can make it taller, another 3 inches would make it look more like a NASCAR spoiler...

Def not enough choices for our cars. I went with an 03 limited edition spoiler to be different and rare.
