Should I add a spoiler?

As most of you know, I have a not-so-common color on this site. I was thinking of adding a spoiler to my car and I found 2 different spoilers I can get that are already color-matched. So that leaves me with 3 options.... I can keep it how it is (w/o a spoiler), swap trunk lids to get a low-rise spoiler, or I can have a high-rise shipped to me. With it being an LS with no bodykit, I'm not really sure on the high-rise, but the low-rise looks good. Which would you guys think is the best option? Old pic, but you can get an idea....

Like I said above the pic, it's an old one. I have it dropped on Sportlines now. Even these are old pics, I have projectors and exhaust now too.

No wing man... I like the clean look. Have you thought about LED tails or something?

Err... Nevermind, see you have an exhaust now.

Yah I'd say get the low-pro spoiler. High rise only looks good with a bodykit.

Actually, If you get some lowering springs instead, that way you really wont have to put a spoiler on. Cobalts look nice when they are lowered and w/o a spoiler. its sleek

Get a high rise if you're ready to kick a**. Thats about what the high rise spoiler screams imo.
It's a** kick'n time! *WHINE*d it up!
If not, the low pro will work just fine, and you can't use, "sorry officer, but i couldn't see your flashing lights in my rearview mirror cuz my tail is big!"

You look like you're trying to go for a clean look without that rear badge, so I wouldn't stick a spoiler on.

Time for a bodykit!

No spoiler FTW!!! Looks so clean and smooth! I'm trying to find a 2.2 base model w/ a spoiler-free trunk lid to trade my low-rise equipped trunk lid for.

My second choice would be the low rise spoiler. Subtle and appropriate.

I personally hate high-rise spoilers on anything besides the 2.0. With the high-rise spoiler on a 2.2/2.4, your advertising the supercharger you don't have. Kinda like a newer Subaru 2.5RS with a big STI wing. Your 2.5RS dosent have the turbocharger, 6-speed, beefed up suspension, exclusive interior, etc etc that is associated with the big STI wing.

Yeah, when I thought I was getting some for $18 shipped. I did Nite shade my side markers and 3d brake light on Sunday as well. And to those of you who mention lowering my car, it is lowered on Sportlines. The 1st pics is an old one. My car is the 1st one in this pic.

no spoiler, unless u get the ss/sc front and the rest of the lips (sides, and rear) to go along with the front... then u could put the high rise on.

Damn guys, can you not see or read? Or does it really not looked dropped? And I'm surprised the high-rise is winning the polls when I hear so much smack about it.

SS rims are 5 lug, non-SS models are 4 lug bolt pattern on the pre-2007's.

low rise for an ls but the high rise would look good but i never seen that color before so it might be more for your wing then the rest of us because we can sell each other the ones off our cars

LOLLLLLL... mad funny mann

I know you already dropped it, but if i would suggest a spoiler go low pro or RK 3 peice one. Wingless looks badass though.
