Limited spoiler: better IRL than photos?
Did a search on this and came up with little - does the spoiler on the Limited look better in real life than photos? I love all the other elements of the Limited package but the spoiler is holding me back, in photos it spoils the clean lines of the rear IMO. Did anyone find that they went from disliking to liking it after seeing it in person?
(And before I get ragged on the irony of my BRZ interest given my username - still love the FR-S but it looks like it will be about 400 more a year to insure than a BRZ so I may go "dark side" for the added content at no real expense. PM me if interested in bidding on my username if I buy a BRZ. ) |

I still prefer the spoiler-less trunk, but it looks OK either way.

I don't find IRL as entertaining as F1, and certainly not as fun as WRC.
Oh... And the spoiler on the BRZ is nice as well.

You can always go after market, or trunk swap, or take it off yourself and fill the holes. I like spoiler-less looks, too, but it's not enough to sway my purchase decision.

Back on topic, I have to admit that I was not a fan of the spoiler when I would see it on the camo test mules. It always reminded me of this: Once I saw the production spoiler, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would look. Seeing it in person a few months back really helped. As dookie11 mentioned, it's pretty flush and IMHO it finishes the look of the trunk. |

It looks so much better in person. It is certainly not a spoiler for ricers. It really compliments the car as it's quite beautiful and classy.
Ricers will certainly want a different spoiler.

I'm not sure I liked it all that much in person, but like the "mustache" it isn't very noticable in person.

The spoiler looks pretty good on the car. At first I was kinda okay on it, but it grew on me

I was in the spoiler delete camp before I actually saw in it person.
I really like it, pictures don't give the whole perspective. It's a keeper in my book.
