Geee.... you, too?  ;-) 
JT said he likes it without the spoiler. 

Maybe I won't put it back on? Hell, I don't know... 
The spoiler makes the car look much longer. It's a strange effect. 
If I leave it off, I either have to plug the holes, which makes it look 
kinda' tacky.... or weld them shut forever. 

Maybe I should take a survey. 
All for leaving the spoiler off? 
All for putting it back on? 

Hah!
