Default Adding a spoiler

I bought my 2005 Mazda 6 a few months ago, and I love it.... However, I originally wanted a more sporty car such as the Mazda 3, so since I went with the 6 I would like to add something to make it a bit more sporty looking. I'm thinking a spoiler since it doesnt have one. And without the light. Where are some good places to purchase this from that are good quality, color MATCHING, that I can order and self install?

Default RE: Adding a spoiler

If you buy the factory spoiler kit it is very easy to install. There are templates you put on your trunk lid to locate the 4 holes you need to drill. The wiring for the 3rd brake light is already in place in the trunk lid under the carpet piece (pull on the center of the small plastic fasteners to release them and you'll see the wiring hanging.) Make sure to unplug the stock 3rd brake light as the circuit can't handle the current draw from both the std brake light in the rear window and on the spoiler combined. (Both harnesses are wired into the same circuit.)

It took me less than 1 hour to install one on my friend's 05 6i.

Default rear spoiler

I have an 08 6 and would like to add a rear spoiler. Are there any aftermarket spoilers that you are familiar with that are as easy to install as the factory kit? Or should I stay with the factory set-up?
thanks

geez people...the guy said he wanted a spoiler WITHOUT the light! read a little bit more carefully!!
my suggestion: i would add some foglights and MAYBE ground effects! nothing too fancy just a little more around the bottom edges to make it look a little closer to the ground! there......... 2cents:in...........

I know there are places that sell a rear lip spoiler like on the Mazdaspeed6's. I don't believe that those have a light on them, but the light on the spoiler is there due to the fact that the 3rd brakelight gets obscured when you put the spoiler on unless you have the hatch which has the 3rd brakelight on the trunk itself.
