lip or none IMHO

I flip flop on the spoiler issue. At certain times I like the clean look of the stock trunk but then I see a sedan with the raised spoiler and I think it looks great. If it was free I\'d go for it but since I\'d have to pay for one, I like the stock look. ;)

[bluntman]

I like the spoiler.

[Ex-Rolla]

I also like it, I think it compliments the car.

I only like the lip spoiler.

The wing spoiler exaggerates the effect of the already short rear deck. Makes it looks even shorter.

[S.F.W.]

I like the spoiler. I pondered this for a while before i bought my Gt/GFX sedan, and ended up going witht he spoiler and am pleased that I did.

-i have a raised spoiler on my gtgfx, the way i see it, it was made part of the rear end of the car, makes it more sporty.....u will see most of the M3s gtgfx are with it....otherwise if u dnt have it, ur gtgfx will look lyk a GS/GX model from behind....

No question - the spoiler finishes off the car nicely. No spoiler = bland.

Even my 50 year old Aunt says the car looked much better with the spoiler than without.

AF, remember, don\'t buy it from the stealership!

I agree with Whos UR Dadd, when I walked into the dealership the 3\'s with the spoiler looked sportier then the ones without. That\'s why I got one. I negotiated the spoiler into my price.:p :D

This man has taste :D

Seriously, it\'s a b!tch trying to open/close the trunk without something to grab onto. The spoiler is a big help. You hatch owners shaddup if you haven\'t tried opening a sedan trunk sans spoiler - it\'s a royal PITA!

thanks for such a nice reply from everyone~~

I don\'t know..
I\'m sooooo indecisive...
It\'s my first car and I want it to be perfect!!!

So... does anyone here that have a lip spoiler on their sedan that is coming out to the next meet??
oddly enough, I haven\'t seen any cars with them on the road.. juss the raised spoilers..

[AFbunnie]

Sorry... ~~~

I know this is totally unrelated... but!~~ I\'ve been looking at some of the pics from meet #8 and I saw that some of the cars don\'t have their licence plates in the designated spots but yet they have it where that mesh is.. if i want to attach my front licence plate there, I do have to make sure that I ask the dealership not to drill holes there????

That last pic *shudders* I\'d like to see that guys face when he rolls up to a speed bump or a driveway with any kind of incline. And the snowplow issues! I won\'t even go there.... After seeing the pics of the lip spoilers I have come to the conclusion that I like the raised spoiler even more now. :p

[AFbunnie]

yeah.!~~~

looking at both together.... I\'m leaning on the raised spoiler.. soooooooo pretty on a white car.. :P

[m_a_t_r_i_x]

-well i had my raised spoiler (no charge) from my dealer when i bought my car last month, so try to deal with it, maybe u\'ll get lucky too...

AFBunnie, like Matrix said you can negotiate it into your price. Good luck, here is what is looks like in Silver.

Thanks~

I\'m still not sure... I actually ordered the car already so I can\'t work it into the price but hopefully, I\'ll get a spoiler( one or the other...) very shortly~

HAHA That is exactly what I was thinking looking at all those pics :p The one thing I disliked about the lip spoiler and I couldn\'t get past it was the gap that is leaves on either side of it. If it went flush with the trunk I might of gone that way. I also still kinda dont like how it wraps around that 3rd brake light. Mind you I would like to make that light disappear too :p :D

i have the same car as on jimdrag8\'s pics, silver with the standin spoiler... the lip spoiler i didnt like, i was shown at the dealership and i dont think it looks good, but its better than without a spoiler :p

Mazda3boss, you have good taste, with tints and a stubby atennae these compliment the raised spoiler!!

[chaser]

I\'d choose the OEM lip spoiler over the OEM raised one. The OEM raised one looks too tall for Mazda3. For a raised one, I think this one (http://mazda3forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=14069) looks better :)
