Default Sell me on the freedom design or RK sport spoiler

I like them more and more when I see them, but only with the right hood. I have a 3inch glastek cowl hood and 17x9.5 ZR1 style wheels. I think I could pull it off. Also planning on lowering the front. I just need to see some good pics to sell me on it. I was planning on the SS spoiler but kinda changing my mind. I know one is the one piece and the other is a three piece but they both are similar so pics of both are appreciated.

If anyone has one painted a different color than the body color I would love to see it, as I am keeping with the white and black theme on my car. Wheels are black with polished lip, hard top car with black mirrors and roof. So I was gonna do black spoiler. Thanks in advance.

Here is our RK Sport with 4" Glastek. Alot of people do not like either one so you may get a lot of hate.

I think those pics would have talked me into it. I had a 96 v6 and wanted that spoiler so bad it actually hurt a little! It is unique, looks bad-*** on the car and ****, it is smaller than the Trans Am spoiler that came stock! My vote, it would look amazing.

Wow bowtie your car looks great. The spoiler fits real nice an sets off the hood very well.

i like the 3 piece one, but I would blend it into the car. i dont like the 1 piece design because it has a big gap on the sides.

bowtiedad, that looks really good.

They only look good IMO with a bigger cowl on the hood to balance it out.

That is exactly why we got it. I am kinda partial to them anyway. I am a bit older than most of you and i grew up in the muscle car era that used both. I do agree that if you like it do it. You are really the only one that matters in the end.

To everyone else, thanks guys for the comments.

I was referring to yours as an example of what looked good in case you misunderstood

Hate to say it, but I hate the glasstek hood unless it's on a racecar oriented car (big and littles etc.). You really need a big tire out back to pull that wing off, or a widebody.
