I don't have a rear spoiler. I have toyed with the idea of putting a 3000gt spoiler on my stealth, but I am still deciding. I think it looks fine without one. I wouldn't want to put a banana spoiler on my car if I had a choice though It's all up to you. Take it off....if you don't like it....put it back on....if you do like it off....sell it to mobilebeatz

they are mainly cosmetic... take a look at the banana spoilers they are 99.9% cosmetic in my opinion

It's cake to remove. Just don't strip any bolts like some idiot I know.

I would leave it on there. You have an awesome car and I remember you didn't want to have to get the '99 bumper because you wanted your car to be all stock, all original. If you take that spoiler off then you're going to have all the holes exposed, and you can either leave them open and get water and rust inside (I know you wouldn't really do this ), or you could tape them up to prevent getting water inside (this is actually the best choice, wait & see why) because if you get bodywork done to fill them in, then your perfect car will have putty work done on it and the quarter panels and rear hatch would have to be repainted, and since the quarter panels cannot be removed, there will be overspray or at least a visible line inside the door & hatch where the new paint meets the old paint. Not to mention the color might not match exactly with the original paint. Plus I think that when people saw it they might wonder what happened to the spoiler, was it wrecked, etc. Just make sure to think it through before you do anything rash I have a feeling you'll stick with it.
