Am I the only loser who prefers the US spoiler??
Im trying to decide whether or not I want to go with a JDM spoiler but I honestly think i prefer the US version. From behind the JDM is more attractive but from the side it just doesnt follow the lines of the car as well. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Am I the only loser that doesn't know what the difference is?
Tell me which spoiler is on the car I own and I will tell you which one I prefer. I have a '92 and I think the one on my car is perfect. If I had your car I'd say that one is perfect.

No
No, you are not the only one that prefers the US style stock spoiler. I actually think the vast majority do, but most are not very vocal about it. Now if they had one like the original concept car I think most would prefer it, but until then I have seen nothing that beats stock.

I don't even know what the JDM one looks like. especially compared to the U.S.
I've only seen one other SVX and it was at night and really dirty.

I like them both
 I even like the spoilerless ones. I wish the spoiler had a quick-detach option so I could change it depending on what mood I'm in

the JDM one "hugs" the trunk lid bolting to the sides, instead of mounting to the top of it.
I think the angles it makes from the side are confusing. if it simply continued all the way to the front of the trunk lid the lines might agree.

Thanks for posting those. It is interesting to see the difference that way. I like the US spoiler after looking at both of them here.
The JDM spoiler is larger and more busy.

I prefer the US spoiler to the JDM one. I'm not a fan of the way the JDM wing overlaps the trunk lid and comes down the sides, looks too much like an afterthought.
Two-tone cars (pearlies in particular) look classy without the spoiler.

I would say that the Pearlie is the best color with out the spoiler.

I think either of the spoilers interrupts flow of the waist line of the car from the side. The US one interrupts it less, which is why I like it better.
