A stock Monaro trunk looks better than a factory GTO spoiler! The ducktail greatly improves the appearance of an otherwise bloated backend. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That green one has the same trunk as my GTO. It doesn't go up at all, it just hangs off a little in the back, like a smashed ducktail. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

My post was not to bag on a GTO lid but to make the point that in it's stock form whether it's a Monaro or a GTO it looks so much better without the spoiler....and that GM should take note and have the spoiler as a delete option. ( or leave it off all together! ) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

100% agreed........ <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Congrats for having the balls to take your spoiler off...with any luck others will follow suit. People complain that the 04/05 looks like every other car and it many ways it does but nearly everything has spoilers now...including pickups and 4 door ricers! Hell I even saw one on the back of a motorcycle the other day. My 740i has a ducktail, so does some of the Benz and Jags. If Lutz is indeed going after the higher end consumer as he claims with the 04/05 GTO then there needs to be some exterior cues reflecting that, not some mass produced cheesey spoiler found on very Honda and Mazda in some High School parking lot!
