Default C8 Coupe Rear Window Spoiler

Setting price aside does the rear engine window look better with or without a rear window spoiler? I have my opinion but want to hear what you think.

Again, we’re NOT talking about the price of the spoiler it’s a simple question about looks.

That window spoiler looks like an aftermarket add-on...

I prefer the glass edge...Much cleaner / streamlined appearance...

The finished edge looks better, but I'd much rather it be accomplished without the "spoiler" part. Just a nice edge for the glass.

I like it, and will add one sometime in the future when I can find it on eBay from China in carbon flash for 50-75 bucks…

Yes, you need the roof spoiler that connects to the window spoiler connected to the rear spoiler.

I'm actually liking it but i'll also wait for the chinese knockoff. I bought the RSC CF spoiler for $1500? EOS makes one now for $250! granted its not carbon fiber but looks exactly the same...

Looks aside and speculation on my part, I think it would also have an aerodynamic effect of disrupting airflow and lessening the drawing of hot engine air out of the space between the end of the window and rear deck. I wouldn't waste my money on that piece.

I wouldn't mind that either...a nice simple slip-on Carbon Flash edge or trim for the bottom lip of the glass that's just pressure fit.

Looks like they stole it off an HTC. I don't like it and I think it's kind of a "nothing" add on.

Photos look good but one of the guys in our club put one on and it went flying off. He said he cleaned it well and put adhesion promoter on and it still ripped off the glass. I wanted to see what it looked like in person but that happened
I think it's a lot for such a small piece. I get it, it is painted and paint is expensive now a days but still, I probably would not purchase it.
