I'd change the wheels before removing the spoiler. I'm not a fan.
The spoiler is fine tho. Maybe change it if you're going a full kit but otherwise leave it.

I like it without the spoiler. I do agree with whoever said something about it being lower. I'm a big fan of dumped au's with no wings!
at the end of the day though, its up to what you reckon looks good |

i do agree it does need to be lower
the rear springs will be ummm "adjusted" over the weekend and the rims i only paid $1000 for when they retailed at the time for about $2500 so that sorta made my mind up for me considering i went to every place in geelong that looked like they sold rims and couldn't even get 17's for even close to that price The wing is for sale though i reckon so? Cheers thanks for the feedback |

thankfully i have a small amount of panel beating experience so the holes will be no dramas
wish that whoever put it on in the first place would have done it right the first time 6 holes for a spoiler that requires only 2 each side???? nothin to be proud of |

Without the spoiler for sure, some series 2-3 Tail lights and a little lower and I reckon it will look sexy.
Spoilers are silly on AU's, thats why people said they were ugly. Of course they will be when you go drilling crap pieces of pointless plastic on the bootlid. I like the wheels.

Im the oposite of T-rent.. IMO the AU's need a spoiler to hide the drop ****.. I actually like to see where the back of my car is when i look in the mirrors.. Something i couldn't do without one..

The only spoiler I think looks OK on the AU shape is the full S3 T series kit otherwise as others have mentioned lower it with the fairmont or S2/3 t/lights. For some reason I think the AU's look weird with the basic rear spoiler only.

Nah, as most say, leave it on. It really does hide the droopyness of it all.
