I need help deciding what spoiler to put in... (pics)

So, im asking this because i haven't decided and i like the one that im thinking to put in but i don't want to look rice or anything, i didn't thought of putting in a "factory spoiler" but seeing so many nice looking maximas in the org with factory spoilers im seriously considering one, someone is offering me 200 for my spoiler so i could sell mine and buy a factory one. I only have 2 problems: 1: i already paid 150$ to the shop to install it and they havent installed it yet (i think i could install the other one by the same price) the other one is... they already put a hole in my trunk... here are the pics, i just want something that looks good, i repeat i realy like this one but i would not like to be "the other ricey maxima"

The spoiler i have:

I respect your taste but IMO, the spoiler is VERY rice-tastic. I would suggest getting a factory spoiler. It would also make you less of a target with police.

umm its great that you want to be unique, but IMO that is hideous. Please go with stock spoiler, looks much better.

IMO, I dont think it flows well with the car... and it does look pretty ricey!
I would say get the factory spoiler or if you want something different but not ricey, get the Paradox spolier.

mmm. i think ill go with factory then.. also the shop already drilled a holw in my trunk (it needs painting anyway) here aro some pics i don't think the factory spoiler could use the hole.. i will have to bondo over it.

The coins is to know how far the hole is from the edge, the coins are (2 dimes, 1 quarter and 1 5 cent coin (us coins))

Oem or Paradox. That spoiler definitely doesn't flow. Remember you're in a car not a plane.

man that just looks like a tweaked version of the spoilers the evo and the STI has.. it doesn't flow with the car but its not beyond rice.

actually that shot of the behind in blue if you photoshop in evo /sti tail lights it can be played off as one.

First and foremost, your car is begging to be repainted. Having an aggressive spoiler like that is one thing, but having a spoiler like that on a scratched up, beat up looking car just screams ghetto to the max. I also notice that you attempted to debadge the trunk and left all the residue behind. I remember what a pain in the *** it was perfecting the job, but cmon man, do the car some justice!

All in all

The car is dirty ONLY there are some scratches in the trunk and a little unpainted piece from the other owner, nothing more

I prefer the paradox-systems spoiler... it's almost the same as the factory, just taller and it's raked back a little bit. It's unique without being nasty.
here's a good shot of the paradox spoiler...

That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I think what the guy meant by MEXi is that usually there are alot of mexican/latino people that go way overboard when installing parts on their cars. They are very "unique" but they are very stupid looking to the vast majority.
That spoiler looks like one from a WRX. Doesn't flow right on the Maxima. Get your money back.

It's a good thing you bumped a 3 year old thread to say that.
