These drill through the rear deck. I am no expert here but a wing design ( air over and under ) generates both down and up force as the air travels over and under. The standard spoiler doesn't allow any under draft.

On the other hand no flow under equals much more drag ( braking ).

All things considered which one is better? I have no clue.

I sure like the look of the wing much better and I am planning to add one in the near future. I think I will leave the factory one active unless I notice some negative performance issue with the combination.
