I'm a man who recognizes and appreciates trends, as long as it's genuine and personifies a style, look or experience. My NC MX-5 has RPF1 wheels like 75% of other owners. Why? Because they look good and they work. I bought a Sony a7 when mirrorless cameras hit the market. Why? Because they work. When White Claw seltzer hit the shelves at my local gro- OK maybe not that.
Trends aren't always a bad thing. And if you like something, the trendy side of it doesn't matter after the purchase. So when I got my GTI and starting diving into exterior mods, it seemed everyone had great things to say about Aerofabb. Search YouTube for 'aerofabb mk7' and it's this, that and the other's channel on installing the Aerofabb rear spoiler extension. Hence, the trend aspect. I made a video on it. I installed it. And I love it.
The spoiler came with a perfect set of directions and was super easy to install. Some might be taken back by drilling into your spoiler, but body modifications are no stranger to me. My MX-5 has 2 gaping holes cut into the hood to fit functional hood vents and after I was sideswiped on my rear quarter panel I decided to just cut it all out and install over fenders. I keep my modifications, I wouldn't buy them if I didn't so the drilling aspect wasn't a big deal.
Overall, it looks great. It's subtle, especially with the Carbon Steel Grey Metallic paint. I'm really loving the way this car is looking.
