2nd Generation Spoiler or No spoiler .? What is your opinion

Hi guys, I recently got a hold of a 1992 Acura Integera 2dr hatchback spoiler..Wanted some opinions on a spoiler on the SV-21. I was going for the sleeper vibe. IDK if it will take away from it, and give it more a tuner vibe? or maybe it will add a touch of class and look stock , even though I think these cars in the US never came with a spoiler , I could be wrong . I just had never seen that many Gen 2 camrys with spoilers . Here are the pics guys.

I think it will look good as long as it is painted the same color. If it stays gray i think it might have the cheap tuner look.

The stock wing in Japan or Europe was a small lip spoiler. That one fits the lines of the car pretty well, but will make your car look obviously modified - which can be a good or a bad thing.

My Alltrac will have the stock Euro spoiler - it fits the lines of the car well and is subtle. I don't have any pictures of it yet though, sorry (it needs to be painted and mounted).

edit:
You can also make your pictures show up easily by using the image tag...

I have been thinking about that look before.. Alot of my friends have been telling me to go that route, the maroon color has seem to grow on me lol . It is the only car I own with a glossy paint job. My 63 galaxie is primer black with green pinstripes, and my 72 maverick needs a paint job lol. The only other toyota in the stable is the prius & its still has its window sticker...but its moms car.

Thanks Dr. I think Im going to look for a slimer lip type spoiler , I may just sell or spray this spoiler in maroon & see how it looks matched up to the paint.

You should totally mount that thing on your car, but after you paint it!

Here is a picture of the factory euro lip spoiler. I never thought id finde one of these.

That is a sweet Camry , I really like that type of spoiler , it flows with the lines of the gen 2 so well. , It reminds me of some of the 70-72 camaro spoilers. I am going to paint the spoiler this weekend and mock it up & Ill post the pics up . but my friend mentioned to me he is willing to make a aluminum spoiler for it , but i feel that it will be drag raced themed ..ill take some pics of his spoiler on his 92 Integra.also I heard that the Cressida spoiler is similar to the lip spoiler..

TRD REAR SPOILER MX83 Cressida

the only thing i don`t know if this guy is still selling these spoilers.. & if it will fit up on the Camry.

I have an aftermarket Cressida lip spoiler that I don't need (now that I have the actual Camry one that I got from Phat91camryLE)... let me know if you are interested. I think I actually got it from atobe a couple years back...
