IMHO i dont like the xmen2 spoiler. I would rather keep the stock or get the MS spoiler. If you have the money. Or just get a replica. If your willing to get a replica xmen2 spoiler, why not a MS replica spoiler? ::shrugs::

I think the X-men spoiler kicks a$$. I wanted that wing for my car before I even had it. Insomniak, where did you pick the wing up?

XMEN spoiler rocks...

spoilers are of personal opinion,

love the xmen spoiler but i dont want to go for that look, MS spoiler is comparable, but how can the stock spoiler considered to be good? seems a bit neither here nor there for me...

please post pics fast...

i think the xmen spoiler rocks because nothing on the market looks like that...curving upwards and all that...

i like the MS wing too, but seeing too many wings with that aluminum/steel stuff on it, bordering on ricey...

stock spoiler is just too hokey...like it would be the same as one on a toyota camry or echo, or tiburon or something like that....

I really love that MS wing....the X-Men wing is a little too much for my taste.

Someone mentioned a replica MS spoiler. Aside from the Rotary Extreme carbon fiber version (which actually costs MORE than the MS) is there actually one out there? Even the low-cost bodykit replicas come with no spoiler or a different one.

not functional

from what i read, both the MS spoiler and the AP spoiler reduce the drag coefficient from .32 to .31. so in essence, it performs a function. the x-men2 one does not (bling only!). could be why you do not see to many.

I liked how it looked in the Xmen2 movie, but the black car in those pictures doesn't take to the wing nearly as well. In fact, the wing looks weak, doesn't fit the car's overall look.

MS Spoiler is much nicer IMO
