    Just my opinion, but no.
    What are the positive attributes?
    Looks better? Not so sure. Looks a bit delicate & fragile to me.
    Goes faster?
    Personalized? Up to you.

    I dont like it. It looks like an afterthought, and it reminds me of the thin italian handlebar mustaches for some reason. 458 really does not need it.

    In a word .…. PLEASE NO. The wing detracts from the car's curvaceous elegance.

    To me: A spoiler, if not functional, is ridiculous. The engineers didn't put it there.

    I'm pretty sure the rear already is a functional spoiler providing downforce. It is just integrated beautifully into the car. Notice the air gaps. Once you see that, you'll see a spoiler on top of a spoiler, which is quite strange.

    The Novitec isnt my thing but it doesnt look bad. It looks like it could be OEM and the carbon on white pops nicely

    NO

    And in the immortal words of Enrico Galliera, a wing is nothing more than "pollution".

    In my opinion it detracts from looks of the car. Save your money!

    Absolutely not!!!! :mad:

    And why do you (other people too) obscure the license plate, which will be seen by thousands of people on the road, so what is the difference here? :rolleyes:

    Because the car will be so fast that no one can read the plate. Lol

    I always wondered that too. If you are driving on public highways around your house with thousands of people seeing the plate while you drive and park it, why does it matter if someone sees your plate half way across the country, or even in other countries? What harm can they do, compared to being right there with the car?
    All that said, I have to vote "no" for the spoiler. But it's not my car, so do what YOU like, not what other people like. However, something to consider, is that you have to be ready to take the depreciation hit as well if you go to sell and people don't want/like the changes you made. From what I noticed over the past few years, the most valuable cars are the ones that are left 100% stock and look as if they left the showroom.
