Guys and gals, help me out. I'm gonna be taking my car in for some body work as I have some damaged on my rear bumper. Anyways, I figured it might be a good time to get a spoiler but I am not sure. Do you guys like the looks without the spoilers? There is a guy on Ebay selling the kit for $239 painted and shipped and another e60forums member had good luck with him so the price is right. But I just don't know if I really like the looks or not. I go back and forth each day. Help a guy decide!

I like them, but dont have one yet. The one I like is too expensive.

I like that spoiler - I would buy if if I didnt already have one. I am not a huge fan on the e60 trunk, the spoiler definitely helps out

That's the problem, I tend to like it on the darker cars, but not so much on the lighter cars. But again, it kind of depends on the day. If it wasn't for the cheap price, I don't think I would even consider it. I appreciate the response Mel.

Which one is that? I like the Rieger quite a bit, I just wish they made a cheap replica.

I love a trunk spoiler, especially the one I have. =) but i dont really like roof spoilers myself.


I'm sure whichever you chose it'll look great.

get a roof and trunk spoiler, it looks really cool, it makes the car unique IMO.

Cant go wrong with an RD sports spoiler... it's a little more sleek than the ACS i think.
