should i lose my boot spoiler?

by **nstg8a** » May 7th, 2011, 12:58 pm

my ghia goes into the panelbeater soon to get the rear end fixed, the 'beater has given me the choice of fixing and spraying the rear spoiler and keeping it original, or removing the spoiler and filling the holes.
i was never a fan of removing the spoiler until i saw the pics of this

and mine pre damage

i cant decide :banghead:

by **Dansedgli** » May 7th, 2011, 1:03 pm

I'd ditch it.

by **xr6_ghia** » May 7th, 2011, 1:53 pm

yeah lose it...although i cant really talk...ive got the same wing on mine and couldnt be bothered removing it...but now i want to lol

by **superhuS!** » May 7th, 2011, 2:01 pm

Ditch it. Spoilers are for riced up lancers that go so fast they need downforce

by **Customxg** » May 7th, 2011, 3:56 pm

I agree ditch it I find ef and el looks heaps better without spoiler

by **[Sterling]** » May 7th, 2011, 5:33 pm

I'm going the opposite. Your car looks great as it is. Keep it. It's not a massive over the top wing it actually suits the wheels and kit.

Agreed. It looks great with the colour too.

by **DJV8T5** » May 7th, 2011, 6:05 pm

personally i think that i would keep it, it looks pretty good with it.

by **NickosEL** » May 7th, 2011, 8:02 pm

yeah the EF kits door pods are to small compared with the EL's, and they need the spoiler on there to finish it off so to speak, or get some EL door pods and ditch it!

by **nstg8a** » May 7th, 2011, 8:34 pm

lol, pretty much a 50/50 split....

are the door pods the only difference? i thought the el sideskirts were a fair bit chunkier than the ef ones?

by **NickosEL** » May 7th, 2011, 8:36 pm

Yeah that too, and the rear clip aswell, but dont think you would notice too much cos most people look at the pods to tell what model kit it is, well I do anyway!

by **nstg8a** » May 7th, 2011, 8:46 pm

yeah i think if i was gonna go to the hassle of changing the kit id change it completely, copy dumpsters ef or something, that looks mint with that kit.

I say take the wing off, it was the 1st thing I did with my old ef when I got it,

Ef/l's look so much cleaner without them :grin:

what wheels are they in the 1st pic?

Ditch it!

First pic is FR20's too

by **Jake** » May 9th, 2011, 5:18 pm

Ditch it for sure, also helps make it look lower I reckon... its not exactly a nice spoiler either, pretty plain :glare:

I don't think any spoilers suit EF / EL's.

by **ELOVER** » May 9th, 2011, 6:07 pm

ditch it!

by **Bob Lablaw** » May 9th, 2011, 6:19 pm

take it off, thats what I done

by **nstg8a** » May 9th, 2011, 6:46 pm

lol, yeah, i was umm just seeing who was paying attention...

by **NickosEL** » May 9th, 2011, 7:48 pm

so what have you decided? Yay or nay?

by **nstg8a** » May 9th, 2011, 7:52 pm

beats me, but im leaning towards keeping it. could always get another bootlid sprayed up when i get the bonnet done. then i could change the bootlid as often as i change my mind.

by **NickosEL** » May 9th, 2011, 7:55 pm

That sounds like a good idea. Then you could stock up on some rims and totally change the look of your car as you please, haha, and maybe get an EL grill and go further.

by **SNR** » May 9th, 2011, 7:57 pm

It only really works if you have the back really low, but yeah I'd lose the boot spoiler.

by **LUVSIT** » May 9th, 2011, 8:02 pm

remove the wing dude

by **LUVSIT** » May 9th, 2011, 8:13 pm

looks like an el grille to me lol
looks good too

by **superhuS!** » May 9th, 2011, 8:14 pm

now get EL skirts, door pods and rear skirt, and your set

by **Parfrey** » May 9th, 2011, 8:40 pm

Yeah get rid of it

+ get some custom colour too (and a money tree)!

by **nstg8a** » May 9th, 2011, 8:46 pm

money tree would be good...

by **Another_ef** » May 10th, 2011, 10:52 am

I think everyone wishes they had a money tree haha, personally the el grill looks worse than the ef grill but thats my opinion

by **justa6** » May 10th, 2011, 6:10 pm

not sure. your car does look good with. everything sorta goes together. if you took it off, i'd lower the back more. i'm going with take it off.

by **nstg8a** » May 10th, 2011, 9:06 pm

cant really lower the back any more cos when the tanks are full the tyres damn near rub, and every bump they do rub.

i should get some pics with the tanks full, its sits gooood

those pics i think it only had like 1/4 tank petrol, and sfa gas.
