Lovin' my OEM rear end!

I ordered a 6 MT DG/G with aero w/o spoiler. My dealer located exactly what I want but with the spoiler. They have ordered a new trunk lid w/o spoiler and it is supposed to be ready by Friday. BTY they said I could have the car with the spoiler at no extra cost, but I said no thanks.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
What are they going to do for you about a third light??

OG 03.5

 

I wanted a spoiler at first but the car I bought didn't have one. The dealer was going to throw one in for free. While I was waiting for that to happen, I started liking the look without the spoiler. I started having second thoughts. But I figured it was free at this point so I'd go through with it. Once it was on, my first reaction was it belonged there. And I haven't regretted getting it.

 

I initially didn't want the spoiler, but it began to grow on me as I looked at more coupes with and without it. Also, at the time (May/June '03) none of the 6MTs were being delivered without them. I could have ordered one that way, but I would have missed the summer driving season, and this is pretty much a warm-weather car. I prefer the look of it now with the spoiler, but I also like it without. If I had it to do all over again, and had the choice, I'd probably opt for the spoiler again.

 

You can kind of tell from the all the previous posts that most of us like the car either way.....a real tribute to how good the car looks!
I think the picture above with the Gialla lip spoiler is really much nicer than the OEM...if I didn't already have the OEM spoiler I would get the Gialla (or I believe Date Systems has a similar one?).

 

Yesterday I posted that the dealer was going to switch the trunk lid, because I did not oder a spoiler. Today he told me it can't be done because of the brake light on the rear deck and the spacing of the speakers, but he also said he located a car with exactly what I want. This is the third different story in two weeks. If he delivers the car Saturday as promised, I will have no complaints.

 

Got lucky. The dealer found a diamond graphite (my first choice) with graphite leather and rear spoiler. I pick it up today. I am very happy I went with the factory spoiler (and especially happy about the diamond graphite). The car was trucked down from Philadelphia - I did not want 120 miles on the odometer. Thanks for all of the opinions. I agree with the majority that the factory spoiler with rear light gives the car a sporty appearance. I'm off to go get it.

 

To me, the rear spoiler makes the whole look of the car. Like some other people said already, it just gives it a more aggressive look. I hate when I see another G35 on the road without the rear spoiler. It just doesn't look right to me. If I were you I'd definitely get the spoiler.

 

How are the Aftermarket spoilers installed?
meaning the Gialla the Impul or the Data Systems?
and is the installation easy?
