Nope, that’s not a good look, it’s too boy racer like.

 

[Manaz]

Yeah, I have to say, a subtle lip spoiler much better suits the "grand tourer" nature of the Stinger.

Unless you're going all out of course, with a full body kit, and then it may suit the look there.

Not a good look no matter what it might be on. Reminds me of those ugly bolt-ons from the 70's.

This is the rear spoiler just revealed on the Mustang Shelby GT 500, 2020 model at a car show, does anyone think it would suit a Stinger ?
I'm probs thinking a Lip spoiler would look better but could you get away with this look on a Stinger or would it look too boy racer and something a Nissan Skyline would have on it's back end ?

Some can be very tacky, but it boils down to personal taste & choice, in the end it’s your car & everyone has the prerogative to stamp it with their own personal flair & in the end I like individualism & making your ride a custom one off.
I like subtle items that are small enough but bold enough to make a statement.

Could have a spoiler like this one done up for track work.

Did it make a difference on the dyno?.....lol.

With spoiler that high and big, I don't suppose the driver can see much out of the rear window but then again you don't expect to hit reverse when your racing.

The weight perhaps gave the rears more purchase on the rollers?

Can't see much at the best of times with no spoiler. But you can always activate the rear camera.

Went for a test drive of the Stinger GT today and I must say I was impressed, more shocked at the head snapping back as I fully pressed down on the pedal. Hoping to join you boys in the Stinger club before not too long. Just hoping to get your opinions if it's not too much trouble. For an CK MY19 (build date October 2018) got offered $58,990 drive away (not including extras or bi-modal exhaust) in snow white pearl with 25KMs on the clock, what do you think of this price? What extras did you go for at the dealership?

 

[Manaz]

That doesn't sound like a bad price - but if you haven't negotiated it yet, go harder.

I always go for the best floor mats they offer. I will be taking the tow bar/hitch. The $400 for paint protection film isn't bad if you're into that sort of thing (don't get dealership paint protection, you can do better elsewhere - and ask your preferred provider their thoughts on the PPF - they may recommend you do it AFTER initial paint correction).
