I prefer the factory spoiler from MY '00-'03. I dislike the newer spoilers on the '04-'05. I debated for about 5min. before getting mine!!!!

I not really a spoiler fan myself, but I tend to favor the ones that don't stick up to high

get on one for sure. i think 00-03 are nice but if you want flair w/o a huge airplaine wing go for 04.

BTW anyone know how the 2 OEM wings compare as Areo products? any better downforce w/ one vs the other????

Neither one provides any downforce at all. They're purely for looks.

I see them as a crutch - something you need b/c the car's downforce is deficient. I also think the spoil the natural lines of a car. As such, I don't prefer them on my cars. Probably the one exception to that is the Porsche 944T.
