Rocket Bunny - Stock + Spoiler

Hey guys, so I'm one of the peeps that really REALLY like the rocket bunny spoiler. My goal is to eventually have an RB kit on my car. So here's my situation..
My friend bought his RB kit, installed and all, but decided against the spoiler last minute. He's offering to sell it to me for 1200$, which is a great price imo. However, if I buy it, I'm honestly inclined to put it on already and slowly piece the rest together (fenders asap of course, as soon as I get wheels.)


TL;DR

What's your guys opinion on if I just rocked a Rocket Bunny spoiler on a stock FRS?

I know there was another user before who had a similar build because he was slowly putting it together also, not sure who and what happened. New to the forum btw, thanks in advance guys!

Buy it but don't install until you get the fenders and wheels, that will still look good without the whole kit. Otherwise it will probably just look funny, but to each their own.

Lower it, throw some wheels, maybe a small lip kit. Rock the park bench. That's how I'd do it.

I'm just hesitant on getting wheels since I plan to eventually get RB fenders which will require wider wheels with crazier offset and all, but ah, I'll probably just do a mock-up of it with the spoiler on using tape and decide about it.
I feel the drive-by hate waiting to happen, but I just loooooooove that spoiler lol.

I was wondering the same thing a while back. Then I found this thread...

I feel like it's definitely to wide on the stock body.

By looking at it, I knew some proportions looked off, further in you can see his friend handmade that wing so it's actually bigger than the real RB wing in some places, but that's a great visual. A part of me still likes it, but thanks! I'll probably hold off until I get at least some cheap wheels to get by on, maybe RPF1s then lower it.
