Default More aggressive spoiler or Leave her Alone?

Ok got my Z back from the body shop and was somewhat satisfied. The rear needs to be re-sprayed once my guy completes his drift 240 project. But with the Amuse diffuser strosek rear combo it seems like theres something lacking on the rear. Kinda like a bangin hottie with no azz... side view is nice but from the front it looks like theres something missing the bodyshop agreed? Any suggestions on spoilers? Do I even need to go another route spoiler wise? Constructive criticism is welcome

thanks Alex its a questionable thing... i really like the TopSecret v2 spoiler i think it would look really good with the amuse diffuser.

Leave it alone def. Note sure how long you had but like everyone a person gets bored with a look. No way on the ts spoiler.Its more for a wide body and still suspect.

Nice setup, congrats.

What's wrong with the bumper? I don't see any issues...

Spoilers on the Z live up to their name....they spoil the car.

Please, no more spoiler! De-badge it and get a different antenna first, it will improve the rear shot greatly. Then, if it were me, I would consider removing the spoiler altogether and possibly going with a CF hatch.

Sorry, but I think that rear bumper has to go. It's hideous.

Everything else looks good.

ive been considering the carbon hatch but if i did that i wouldnt stop at the hatch

yeah the strosek kit is "different" it falls in the "hate it or love it category" but i think i looks good with my set-up, thanks for the input

sideskirts are to low and do not line up with the rear, thats why the rear looks less aggressive.
