Whilst I'm getting opinions, here's another one for you all...
I like the clean look of the AU without a spoiler, but I also like the S1 TS bobtail. I bought this ages ago of LG, but never got around to painting and fitting it. In the mean time I went off putting it on (partly because painting was a lot dearer than I thought it would be), but now I think I might. Yay or nay? I'm leaning towards yay...     |

I reckon it looks good mate. It'll look even better when painted.
 : The spoiler makes the car look more complete. The bobtail design keeps the sleek shape of the fairmont.

I just don't like the rear of au's without a spoiler. What were you quoted to have the spoiler painted? Got a mate getting one painted for $125... |

I'm undecided.
I would say yes if you spent the time and effort to fit it properly and bog in the gaps so you can't see where the boot finishes and wing starts. Still, it's a nice looking wing.

Yep, it'll look good. Will look better with a Fairmont bodykit.

I'm amazed you've had to ask. Get it painted and get it on the car, it will look stunning. I actually saw 2 AU's with the same spoiler yesterday and I was starting to wonder if I should swap mine for one.. they look that good!

Sorry about the pics not clear enough but here's my old XR8....
I love the no spoiler look and the small ones as above but I also think you need some wide rubber to suit :

Same one I have on my XR. I'm a fan of big spoilers like the T3 one, and I also like the no spoiler look, so I went for the bobtail spoiler as a compromise. Just finishes off the boot lid nicely.

I like the look of that spoiler looks nice without overdoing it. Have seen a few of the usual ones and dont like them. series 2 xr6/8 looks ok kinda squares up the back end a bit.
Where can you get the one like in the 1st pic, that is very nice
