Does the 4th Gen look better with a Spoiler?

[keylay31]

just a poll question: do you like the spoiler on the 4th gen or no? Why?

 

[jpalaska]

Yes, I think it does.
I just saw a 2007 Galactic Gray Mica SR5 with the spoiler, and it was stunning.
I plan to get an SE V8 in the same color with the spoiler.

while this is totally personal preference...I think it does as well. There is going to be a larger majority that follows that same line of thinking.

Personally, I like the spoiler. I guess you just get used to it. I can't picture it without one. That and the Valor exhaust tip. When I see another 4th gen 4runner without these two, it just looks anemic to me. Makes the back end look nice and beefy.

I saw an '06 drive by work last week without a spoiler, exhaust tip, and roof racks as well (didn't even know they came like that). It looked so bare and naked.

No, I don't like the spoiler. I think it makes it look fat (not phat). I specifically picked one without it.
(I also like white lettering out, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms)

Looks naked without one. The spoiler completes the rear end. Notice no other manufacture can make their SUVs look good with a spoiler. Toyota's got the design down. :bigok:

I think it looks better with a spoiler. It has a more sporty look!

The truck needs a spoiler. I don't know if the current spoiler is the best choice, but it's better than nothing.

I don't care for the 4th generation spoiler, and special-ordered my truck just to get one w/o the spoiler or drl's. The 3rd gen. spoiler was much nicer looking IMHO, but I am sure the current model is more functional. I just don't need my back window to be THAT clean. Thank goodness we have a choice.

I like it when the 4runner has a spoiler it looks better.. i've seen some that does not have any and it looks too plain in my opinion..

 

[ffongge]

Yes!

After having my 4R for nearly 2 years, I ordered a rear spoiler from SpoilerFactory and installed it to my 4R about a month ago. It now looks really cool.

Not just for looks, but I hope it will help reduce the amount of road dust that gets on the tailgate when driving through dirt roads.

:driving:

 

[keylay31]

well at first, i thought i would want a spoiler, but i ended up getting one without due to the fact that i wanted side curtain airbags and didn't want to wait for an ordered one. After living with it, I think I prefer it WITHOUT one.. I guess its up to the owner, but its looks.... sportier? lighter? sleeker? I uno.

The spoiler makes the back end look bulky to me. I prefer no spoiler.

 

[rx900]

I think I prefer spoiler. This is the first time that I actual have a spoiler that is "practical". This spoiler seems to keep a lot of the dust and morning mist away from my rear window. Must be the big bulky design. My RX300 had that spoiler that sticks out (like the 4R I have but not as fat) and it didn't make a whole lot of difference in practicality BUT IN looks, definitely changed the way the RX300 looked. It actually changed it's "bubble on wheels" status to a somewhat SUV look.:

Hi Guys - I don't care either way about the spoiler, but my wife HATES them.

We have an '07 limited on the way (Supposed to be here mid December), and to get all of the options I wanted without special ordering we had to get a spoiler. I've already had to promise her that as soon as we get back from our Christmas travels we'll take it to the body shop to see about getting it removed.

Any thoughts on removal?

 

[keylay31]

I hear its basically 6 screws. Though I don't know how you would "fill the holes".

 

[GYoter]

Every time i see a runner w/o one it looks funny to me, and naked. I prefer the 04 and earlier ones without the large hump on the top of it.

 

[icantsee]

Oh yeah...it's a must!!

It looks stupid w/o a spoiler.

I'm not really a fan of spoilers, but on the 4R, it's a must.

Integra Type R...must
Toyota Supra...must.
M3 & M5...rear truck lip spoiler ONLY

Sedans...no spoiler
