I would go with just a stock looking fiberglass low spoiler, like on the grand prix's. The most important advice I can give you is to get one that matches the rounded contour of the decklid, when you look down on it. The Cutlass has a pretty rounded rear end compared to the luminas and the prixs, so I really wouldn't get a spoiler from any of those vehicles. My bro had a nice spoiler on his cutlass, matched perfectly.

 

wing=rice

Stop calling it a wing, people. Wings are for rice burners, and usually in excess of 8" tall. Spoilers are low, mean looking but tasteful, cool things.

wings are just push bars so the ricers can push their cars more easily when it breaks down at the side of the road. kind of like pushing a grocery cart really. btw, i like my trunk lid luggage rack/spoiler thingy. i think it looks good on the sedans anyway.

That's the first time I've seen pics of the Phantom. Not as shabby as you seem to lead us on to sometimes. Only question: if they were gonna call it something as cool as "Phantom FE3" why didn't they put a faster engine in it. The 3.4L DOHC would do. The TGP engine would, of course, be better yet.

The first kind I think of is on the old Porsche 911 Turbo:

Then I think of the aftermarket trunklid/whale tail for the 2nd generation Camaro/Firebird from the 70's:

Here's one gone horribly wrong; poor Camaro:

well at least Porsche got it right. the whale tail is reminescent of those Porsche 930's and is very classic a with that 911/930 body style. those stupid F-Body gfx are a joke.
