Default Spoiler Delete??

im really thinking about removing the spoiler, if did, id shave the r.wiper also and fill the 2 holes that the small nismo emblem is covering, its CF and bottom half is painted to match car, so it matches all my other CF stuff....
what do yall think? would it look better and lower also???

It will be easier/cheaper to swap hatches with someone versus removing the spoiler since the holes under the spoiler will need to be filled in.

i'm a DB owner and i used to have the V1 wing and shaved my wiper, but then i sold my wing separately and i was left with a hatch with 5 holes. but i eventually found a local buyer who needed the glass and hatch. so yeah definitely go wingless and swap out those taillights too

I just dont want some 2 bit shop abusing my car. I have a small fortune in parts that can quickly be ruined by some nitwit shop employee...burning clutch, abuse engine...parts go missing. I am just paranoid leaving my car anywhere for an extended period of time.
