Default To mold or not to mold?

How do you guys think it would look if I had this spoiler molded to my trunk hatch? The ends of the spoiler would be cut off (the part of the spoiler that goes over the taillights).

meh, way too much work to get it "right" for not a lot of reward.

I'd rather see that money spent on some springs or an exhaust.

I can have it done for a very good price and its professional work. I need to have the spoiler repainted anyways and the thought of having it molded came to my mind. I have an FI exhaust and springs are sitting in the basement ready to be installed soon.

I always get scared when I hear "very good price" and body work.

Show me some before and after pictures and the place you got it done, I'm in the market for a good body shop.

Molding body parts is nice, even more so when you have a full body kit but to get a single spoiler molded? It just seems like a waste.

either way, it's his car he can do as he pleases.

Did you get those JP TYpe A side skirts and rear bumper add on molded? I got mine molded and it was like day and night difference! They were so loose and jiggly before. I really hated them.
