things like spoilers etc are all a matter of personal opinion and taste.
so it will really come down to whatever you personally feel will look good on your car

if it was upto me, id say get a spoiler

On sedans i dont think any spoiler looks good at all. Even with a kit spoilers should not be on camrys.

In my opinion camrys with body kits look much cleaner without spoilers.

Plus a spoiler is a waste of money and are a bit ricey on some cars. For you to use a spoiler effectivly for you would need to be going over 80 mph 90% of the time.

Its a waste of money dont do it, consentrate your money on something that helps. Save for a body kit, Get a High Flow Air Intake, Grill......etc....

but thats my taste and style. Whatever you see fit is all that matters

Grills and intakes are all for looks too, so you cant say that a spoiler is useless. some spoilers look really good, expecially factory ones. few aftermarket look good though.

I think with a body kit a spoiler is a must have. Like, on the gen3, if you get a body kit, the trunk just looks awful. Since the roof is somewhat tall, the trunk is flat and, compared to some other cars like it, the trunk is kinda long. A spoiler, not a big ricey wing, but something like the factory one, may not serve much purpose, but they even up the look of the car.

ALL cars with at least a rear lip/ aftermarket rear bumper needs a spoiler
one you put a kit on the bottom, it makes the bottom look too fat without something to even it out on top of the trunk
- this cannot be disputed, it's a matter of esthetics and keeping things equal/even

but the biggest dispute sometimes is which spoiler, and how big of a spoiler is too big?
