Default TA spoiler with or without the center supports...PICS!!!

Im in a position where I have an extra highrise TA spoiler, and have thought about removing the center supports, patching up the spoiler and then plugging the holes in the rear hatch. Personally, Im torn between both styles.

What do you guys think?

Here are pics of how they look, and then with the center supports removed. Feel free to give me mad props on my MSPaint skills...

With center supports:





Without center supports:

Looks good both ways, but why take them out? Just to be a lil different

to me it looks better without...I never thought you could do that. It makes it look more sporty IMO.

to make it a little cleaner look and yes to be a little different. ive never seen it done.

ive wanted to do it to my SS spoiler, but since i dont have an extra one, i never had tried it. similar to the mecham z29 spoiler...

I like it, but would it affect the stability of the spoiler?

Also, your poll logic with 'Yes' and 'No' doesn't make sense.

Yes to W/O Support = W/O support
No to W/O Support = With support
Yes to With Support = With Support
No to With Support = W/O Support

So I could check yes or no and have it represent two different opinions.

I agree with SantaCruz163 - what does yes mean?

well if i could edit the poll i would, so it reads:

TA Spoiler with center supports:

Yes, keep them
No, remove them
Maybe, the removed look might grow on me



sorry guys...

i would think not having them would undermine the integrity of the spoiler and cause it to crack/sag

it looks decent i guess but i don't think its worth the trouble imo

I think it looks nice without the supports. But like others have said, I would be afraid of the spoiler cracking, or sagging.

the cars low enough i doubt anyone ever really see them, unless they are in a lotus or something. i wouldn't since its big and must have a lot of force on it at high speeds. if gm bothered putting it there, theres probably a reason.
