Default RS spoiler on a C4s?

I’ve been adding RS parts over the past few years and have always loved the RS spoiler.

I don’t think I’ve seen a c4s with an RS spoiler. What do you guys think?

pic for reference. I wouldn’t be using the club sport spoiler but rather that flat touring one.

Some guys like spoilers, some don't. I suspect the former camp will say go for it, and the latter camp will say nah.

It's a subjective decision, so there is no right answer. Then again, the right answer may be, if YOU like it, do it!

True enough. I love a spoiler on the wide body cars. I go back and forth between the RS and a ducktail.

it’s nice to get different perspectives but ultimately...it’s your car. i agree with goofball, configure it according to what YOU like. you paid for it. you drive it. you see it more than anyone else. i put a ducktail on mine after being a card carrying bonafide ducktail hater for years. and now i absolutely love it. make it yours and enjoy it. btw, that RS wing is on my hit list. that will give me three different looks to change between every few years ...oem, duck, and wing.

My wife has voted for the duck. Which probably settles the issue.

One nice thing about the RS spoiler is that it's OEM. I've heard some stories about fitment issues with ducks - I know Fd motorsports sells one. I wonder if that one is a good bet for fitment/finishing.

Here's a couple more examples from a friend's instagram. Personally I think it looks cool. Guess it depends on if you're a spoiler guy or not.

The spoiler weighs a lot less than the retracting spoiler. I have mine sitting in bubble wrap in my basement at the moment. I've been going with the touring look instead.

I could see putting it on again at some point for a change of pace. It does remove a fair bit of weight in the back of the car.

yes. i got mine from darin (FD) it’s a getty product, and WILL require some fitting/fettling, so make sure you have an ace body shop if you go with the duck. i have a some pics of mine on my instagram “anino1122”

RS spoiler is the perfect version for 993.
