spoilers and things of that nature are pretty opinionated, depends on your personal taste

i think a spoiler on a Gen2 wouldnt look too bad, a nice stock style one would be pretty nice i think

if you want a big one, then probably getting a bodykit first would be better

cool website, prices are OUTRAGEOUS but thats ok.

$200+shipping is insane for an unpainted spoiler.

ive actually thought about getting a stock spoiler from a 90-93 accord and putting it on my camry. they look identical to the one on that site.

i dont think their painted exactly...just a stylistic feature

some of earlier model Gen2's in Australia had them i think (87-89), the newer ones didnt (90-92).

I would stick with the stock spoiler if you are going to get one. Personally I like the Gen 2s' without a spoiler and a nice clean looking body kit but that my opinion.

I have white stipes! haha. Although, i "textered" them black.. looks much better!
There are two types of taillight here, Gen 2(87-89) which uses the striped ones, and Gen 2.5(90-92) which uses a more rounded, bubly looking taillight with no stripes. If there is ever a Gen 2 with 2.5 lights, its a mixnmatch or option. I personally like the striped ones best, with the stripes blackout out. Has a very "Chaser" style then. I can get pics of both if you want.

As for the wing, IMO (here we go), any decent wing would look nice depending upon if it matches your cars styling. A stock spoiler on a stock bodied car, will look FAR better than a huge Evo wing hanging off the back with nothn else done! Contrary, if you have a bodykit, those wings can look quite good. Ive seen them on Gen 2's in the US and i don't mind them. Of course, then you have that bodykit/no wing for that VIP look.

If you don't plan on a kit, either leave it off or get a stock one. If you plan of a kit, but not for a while, leave it off. If you plan on a kit and getting it soon, put it on, but leave the car garaged..hahaha.
