Default PIECHA rear spoiler lip coupe Yes or No

So contacted PIECHA performance to see had they any pictures of the boot/trunk lip spoiler fitted to a customers car and got these, maybe a members car. Anyway what are the views on it, the deployable spoiler still works, and has the lip part attached.

To each his own, but I think it looks good. I’d insist it be painted body color though. I wonder if it provides enough downforce to safely disable the lifting spoiler, which I despise.

Oddly enough I'm not a fan although I was expecting I would be. It looks too chunky and the sides dont match the curves of the car at all, it also hangs too far over the top of the lights and reminds me of my sagging brows giving it a baleful and depressed look from the back. It looks like it was designed for another car and stuck on.
So for me it is a fail, I'd much rather the Paramount one we saw recently, or the Jag version.

I don't think it looks good on the car. Too straight, needs to be more organic and flowing I think. It isn't terrible just clear it came from another designer, belongs on a more angular car.

Think it's a take on the rear aero spoiler that was on the xkr, this is my old xkr with the aero lip spoiler.

It would look much better if it was paint matched. This doesn't look good in black as is.

I agree with you. It blends in much better when color matched. I have one waiting to go on one of my cars too, luckily I saw what it looks like in black now with IRR and that is not an option for me.
