Lude Generation

My 5th gen is JDM with the high rear wing...but what looks best or keep it original ??

Low level on a 5th gen for me

I like the Mugen spoiler.



Or spoilerless

Low-level or Mugen on a 5th, for me!

LO

Spoilerless

I am biased of course i do like the mugen though

Cheers

That mugen on the 5th looks good!

Having seen it, I'd have thought it would actually increase drag though, causing a massive low pressure turbulence in the area below the spoiler, above the rear bumper shelf?

S-Spec/Mid-wing spoiler for me..

Your theory is all wrong. The longer wings extends airflow further out behind the car so its essentially pushing the drag further out and less turbulant air.
Imagine the point of a tear drop on its side. Your trying to make the bottom and top of the car meet as close as possible to reduce drag and thus reduce rear lift.
Same as the 911 whale tail.
Difficult to explain without pics.

to be fair everyone has their own taste

but i like the s-spec spoiler on a 5th, nice n simple

type S spoiler imho.
