So the other day I was looking at my car and I thought it would look good if I took off the rear spoiler to give it more of a bullitt mustang look but I'm still not 100% sure I was just curious if anyone has pics of a 2000 and up bonneville without the rear spoiler on?

These are pics from the last photoshoot of toastedoats, who had a 2000SE that had a spoiler delete option.

Yeah i like that a lot with no spoiler I'm making my own custom ram air hood and I'm going to lower my car an 1" so I think the no spoiler look will look good and thank you for those pics

Every time I see one without a spoiler I think about how *dang* ugly they are. I cannot stand it. The 92-99 look good either way, but 00+ NEEDS the spoiler IMHO. Might want to look into finding a GXP spoiler...

Last week I went up to Minnesota and saw this on the drive,

I thought it was so ugly I had to take a picture.

Not trying to be rude, it's your car do what makes it look good to you :beerchug:

I think if lowered you can pull it off. But the spoiler is needed on these cars because it is intergral to the body lines. Taking it off makes some sharp cut offs that these cars don't really have many of. Either way, as Seth said. It is your car. Whatever route you choose, make sure you post pictures.

I don't think anything would make the rear of the car better sans spoiler short of major custom work to the trunk lid and rear quarters....
