I prefer the spoiler look, and since the quarters are already "hole-y", my vote is to retain the spoiler, Bob.

However, on a non-spoiler equipped car, if the quarters haven't previously been punched, I wouldn't add one.

My $.02 . . .

I'm a spoiler fan, but were this mine, as special as it is, i'd put the effort into welding the holes shut, putting on a new deck lid and going original. I think with black, the low profile sleek look is really elegant. one of the very few instances where i say the spoiler ruins the lines.

My vote is get rid of the spoiler. F455 without it is a great sleeper. You could always put it back later if you miss it.

x2 Looks great as is. Removing it would freshen up the look for a little while, until you add it again.

I'd leave it off just for the clean look. Since getting the 73, the fast-back silhouette has sort of grown on me...





You can always have him paint the spoiler parts for future possible use.

This was what happened to me;
At first, I loved the spoiler look, but the lines of a Formula w/o the spoiler has grown on me to the point that I prefer to see the early Formulas w/o one.

I'll be going back without the rear spoiler on mine. Although I love the look of the Formula, I also like the uniqueness of the slickback early Formulas. I also couldn't bring myself to drill into the original sheetmetal. It was hard enough cutting open the Ram Air scoops after all these years.

Now I just need to find the rubber for the bumperettes...

There's no way I'd run it without a rear spoiler.

It looks way to good with it on there!
