Default Opinions on RS Spoiler !

I've got a 99 Z28 , it had a RS body kit on it , took it off and left the spoiler .. The car is going into the body shop to get all of the holes underneath the car filled in ... I've hated this spoiler since day one but everyone I know loves it ! I bought a rep ss spoiler but I'm now thinking of what to do ... Keep the RS spoiler - OR - Have an SS spoiler that doesn't fit properly ! I really need opinions on how the RS spoiler looks ! - Thanks

I honestly think the RS spoiler looks good on certain colors..... just my eye tho. The SS spoiler looks good no matter what color the car is........ I hated the RS spoiler with a passion but my uncle has a RS spoiler on his lt1 polo green Z28. It gives that car a more sporty look without going over board

Not a fan of the RS spoiler myself. In fact, I hate the entire RS package and would have removed it just as you did.

The base spoiler or SS version would be the only options if it were my car.

The RS "spoiler" looks like something a ricer buys from a JC MyCarSoFastYo catalog and glues on with silicone. It's an obvious afterthought and terrible looking one at that.

I never cared for that spoiler myself, though I did come to enjoy the look of the rest of the kit while I had the car. I actually did the opposite of you and removed just the spoiler and left the rest.. pics is sig. But these days I don't much care for any if it, mainly because the front looks like ***, and as mentioned the spoiler looked like a complete afterthought.

I like the RS kits a lot, including the spoiler, but they have to be lowered with nice wheels.

good choice. some LT1s pull the RS package pretty nicely but most of LS1's look like poop with the RS package.

I added the RS ducktail to my Pewter z because finding an SS spoiler in my area is impossible..... and I think without some kind of spoiler on the back it was just blahhh. Anyway all Z28's in the past have had some kind of ducktail.. I really don't like the lower ground effects though.
