^ those are overlays, no likey

You can still get a ticket for those because the reflective part is covered up in the inner ring.

I had a similar issue with the spoiler on my 05. I liked it, but at the same time I love the sleek look without it. So I compromised and got the Dori Luxe trunk in CF. Really nice. I have the same sides as you with a greddy front and I think it complemented just fine. (Of course, that is just a matter of my taste and yours may vary). AnyWHO, check out user kris79 or some of the other images from patman530 on that trunk.

What do you guys think about the 06 tails?
They're nice but I don't like how the LED lines/tails are bunched up.. I'd still get them though.. They're more uniqe and the 03-5 tails are starting to look dated.

I like them with the JDM amber signal... droooooool

So? It's not like painted can be any more legal . If you were to get caught with this, it doesn't matter if it's overlay or painted.

I have to admit, I bought my G MOSTLY for the 03-05 spoiler and the unique look of the taillights that nobody else had (HAD...). Soon enough, I went spoilerless it is much cleaner and more sleek looking.

I say get wheels, they will really offset your aggressive look and take our eyes off of your rear, and really bring out the sexy lines of the G. Also, trade your trunk for a spoilerless one and you could actually make money. The stock rear is sexy, maybe paint the diffuser black =D

I think the Chargespeed rear is perfect... Aggressive enough to compliment the front bumper and sideskirts, but mild enough to not look too ricey like the Kenstyle does. And, IMO, a clean trunk lid spoiler like I Ride G's or the red coupe would be a clean compliment to the styling to help fill in the emptiness of a debadged rear too.

We don't have any options with the sedans, so when I debadged my car, I decided to leave the Mt Fuji in the middle to help fill in that empty void. A lip spoiler was kinda nice but I really didn't like any of the ones I had on my car. A molded lip spoiler is next, when I decide I'm going to clean up my car again.

I just think the problem is that there aren't enough curves back there to look at so when you fully debadge the rear, there's just a huge flat panel of emptiness. And the flat stock spoiler doesn't help.

Paint your valence on the bottom Jen;

I did mine myself, hardly took any time and makes the rear
end look completely different. Would go with the flow of your car too...

Hey Jen.

Had a similar issue coupe of months ago. I had an 06 spoiler. But I ended up going wingless and adding a CF nismo diffuser. Ended up relieving my Itch. But I am still interested in the CS rear.
