Does your 3 have a spoiler or not? I've been considering getting one put on mine. I would buy it on ebay or something and install it myself.

However, does it look too High Schoolish? I am a recent college grad and I have a Full time job now. Will a spoiler make me look like that young punk kid that thinks he's cool, but he's not. I don't wanna look like a Fast and Furious band boy that wears a bandana. But I DO like how the spoiler looks.

To spoil or not to spoil, that is the question....

A factory type spoiler should look just fine. As long as you aren't going the 42" double-wih-boned, carbon fibered look, I tyhink you'll be quite OK.
'Sides, it's your car!! Do to it what suits you... right??

the wing spoiler makes the car look much better in my opinion. The thing about the 3 is it isnt a car you see all riced out. Kids typically go for the integra/civic/gti's from the early 90's that they can get thier hands on. Personally, i think if u dont get a spoiler u would be foolish

I have a Integra spoiler on my car its prob higher than 42" i get real good downforce at high speeds...no im joking i dont have a spoiler on my mazda. I personally dont like spolers on a lot of cars (dont like driving shopping carts)... on the 3 it gives it a bit of a sportier look though. I'd say get the stock spoiler or get the one that is like a lip.

yep you have to dent them slightly before you start drilling so the drill machine doesnt slip accross the hole trunk....if you don't know what you are doing then your pretty much going to screw up the trunk real bad.....thats why i mentioned the lip instead since its stuck on with the 3m adhesive tape it wont require any drilling and you can take it off as if you took off badges off the car.
