Aftermartket non-OEM spoiler, anyone have experience? (Blasphemy I know!)

I know it seems that everyone thinks the idea of a spoiler on a G coupe outside of a lip is crazy but I'm sure there's some out there that have done it. Any feedback?
Which did you use?
Link?
Any problems? (Squeaks, excessive loosening, install problems, etc)
Anything along those lines would be great, also if you know of a good website or if someome on here sells em feel free to advertise (if that's allowed?)

Was leaning towards

One if those three, I know in the end it's what I like most but any input?
Thanks

The sounds and speeds that my(our) car(s) can create and reach could never be mistaken for a Civic. I tried to be as subtle as possible but there's really ZERO need for an opinion based post when the opinion is the total opposite of what I've already stated I'm doing. Looking for positive reinforcement here bud.

You asked for an opinion whether you intended to or not. Most likely, this thread will die in a sea of "Don't do it." You can count this as one of them. They're all awful.

Like you said, it's what you wanna do.

I came here with an open mind prepared to support OP and tell the other guys everyone has different tastes. Except...I don't like any of them. I don't just NOT like them, I really think you would ruin the look of your G37 by interrupting the line with a wing like this. If ANYTHING, the only wing that looks good even sometimes would be a Tommy Kaira gtr style wing...and those run in the thousands.

I will refer you to this thread, please don't turn your car into this:

I will amend this by saying it's your car. You asked for recommendations and my recommendation is to leave your car's spoiler as is.

My only problem with believing all of this is that I imagine it looking decent, especially with squared off side skirts, and a bit boxier front/back bumper (wish I had a picture of my car). It seems one place has them up in Mass so I guess I'll see if I can go and just dryfit one on my car to see what it looks like in person. Because I can't even find a picture of a G with a wing.

Maybe you can change everyone's mind. It's your car, do what makes you happy.

There's a reason for that. At the end of the day it's up to you. I won't be driving it so you won't hurt my feelings.

And not only that, we could all use a good laugh......Just joking buddy.
