Spoiler change

So I took off the high rise psoiler and added the Hawks 5in spoiler. When I had the Z spoiler placed they welded all the holes, I have yet to drill out the holes for the side spoilers. I kinda like just having the middle section. Now, do I keep just the middle spoiler, or add the sides?

Re: Spoiler change

Thinking about keeping it that way. But, When I have it repainted think I want them to add some to the sides just to cover the lips of the quarters.

Re: Spoiler change

Maybe add some pieces that are flush with the edge and go with the curve of the rear quarter.

Re: Spoiler change

Add the sides....being an F-Body, it looks very "unfinished" with just the middle section since no F-Body ever had a spoiler like this that didn't extend past the hatch/trunk in terms of width.

It just doesn't look right.
