I don't disagree, I just question the relevance of comparison to a specific model. "Much better without" is an opinion, "when was the last time you saw a CSL..." is an assumption that the collective narrative is to imitate something seen elsewhere. If that is the case I should slap an M badge on the back too and hope nobody notices the difference

Haha I'm just being pedantic, it's all fun and games :fuelfire:

The comments have been pleasantly surprising, I guess that's why we have places like this to share and debate our opinions. It keeps things interesting.

When you put it that way I can see it.
Symmetry is soothing to our complaint!!
It's now firmly on my long list of mods to get done over the winter.

Personally I think they look terrible and an afterthought, as if purchased at Halfords and stuck on, but it's just a personal preference
That said it's the least offensive of the spoiler options available

Id definitely go with the aero spoiler , it takes the eye away from the bumper which whilst i applaud your desire for individuality can't help seeing a ruined Z :cry: sorry but just not for me :(

Buy a Boxster if you want symmetry. No one seems to know whether they're coming or going :lol:

Same with the new beetle but to be honest who on earth would want either!
I'll stick with our lovely (slightly less symmetrical) machines.

Slightly off topic so apologies. Beedub, I am loving your M Performance side skirts - the wheels, roof and carbon spoiler contrast nicely with the titan silver. Your car to me looks perfectly symmetrical and sympathetically modded. 8) The black stubby finishes the look. :thumbsup: :exitright:
