Hey , Maybe when this thread has run it's course ,You could do one on fake hood scoops !!!
Better Yet ,do one on the combination . I'm thinking some dodge pickups from the mid 2k time frame .
Spoilers have to be the tackiest accessories ever!

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but it looks like the Vette has a small spoiler.
That is the third brake light.

Now this is a spoiler I can actually admire:
1970 Plymouth Superbird.

Don't forget 17-18” factory wheels with tiny 8" brake rotors found on some econoboxes.
Yeah, there is a lot of useless stuff put on cars just for looks besides spoilers. Plus a small spoiler can actually improve the look of the car and even if it doesn’t, there is really no downside to it, but the rubber for those 18” wheels will cost a lot to replace.
Stock spoilers usually look ok, they arent' garishly stupid. The one on my focus and the mustang look ok, and the rims/brakes on my focus go well together I think
..
And the mustang

I've got one on my Cavalier that is VERY similar to the one on Nick's Focus, and I think it looks good on the car.
Lots of Cavaliers around without spoilers on them, and the rear-end looks just too bare and 'rounded' for my taste...
My buddy has a 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo hatch, and it comes from the factory with a large spoiler, and it's one of the few features my buddy HATES about the car - makes it really hard to see out the back easily. However, I've told him he shouldn't remove it, b/c with the speeds that car is capable of (no kidding), it's pretty necessary.

Mine has one too, but I don't mind it. It's small and looks like a stock spoiler. Not ricey at all.

I like the spoiler on my car. Most aftermarket one's are ugly.

Only if it comes with "opera windows"!

I like the spoiler on my '04 Subie Legacy, gives the car a much better look.
I really don't like the STI spoiler's, a huge peice of plastic that stands 18" tall, scream's rice racer.

I have mixed feelings on spoilers, but the only ones I ever do like come from the factory.
It depends on the car. I probably dislike more than I like.
I ended up not wanting the spoiler on my car.
The little stock lip looks good enough to me.

What about the factory "basket handle" on the Neon SRT-4 ?
Or the last-gen Suburu WRX-STI

No mention yet of the Merkur XR4Ti? That car drove great, but it easily had the ugliest factory spoiler of all time!
FWIW, I find fake hood scoops, fake NACA ducts and fake convertible roofs FAR more "tacky" than most factory spoilers.

+1.....not really a big fan of the peel and stick method of car customizing!
