We decided to cancel the spoiler and leave it as is, thanks for all your comments.

Good choice, the clean rear end on the G series looks fabulous without a spoiler hanging off it.

I think you're dreaming getting a 1 year old G6ET for $20K. Currently there's a couple of 2 year old G6ET's for sale but they're around $35K.

But please let us know what you get for your $20K next year.

Way to spoil the wait!

And it's actually the STi that has the spoiler delete option. Why anyone would do that is beyond me as IMO a STi looks craps without the big rear wing. That's half the reason of buying a STi!
Or an Evo IX and its kind. Even the FG GT had a taller rear spoiler!

I was looking at the G6ET but it's the XR6T with its:
  • W-shaped DRL pattern
  • XR instrumentation cluster
  • Rear spoiler
  • Polygon mesh pattern front grille
  • 5-spoke alloys
that won me over despite the ordinary interior.

Maybe one day if I want something more refined in appearance I'll probably lease something like a C-class with a wife but until then I'll enjoy my XR6T.
