    Enlaes Vs. ECS Carbon Decklid Spoiler

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Buddy of mine just got an ECS decklid spoiler. Wanted to post this up as a comparison between the ECS and Enlaes for those who were asking and to help anyone deciding between the two. The ECS decklid has a much steeper angle and a higher height. The Enlaes decklid has a less aggressive angle and pokes out a bit more off of the back of the car. Both awesome looking decklids with good quality but personally I like the look of the Enlaes a touch more.
    The Enlaes one is on the left, and the ECS one is on the right (yellow/orange plates)

    To me, Enlaes is already a bit too aggressive...

    nice comparisons... thank you! I would say that somewhere in the middle of those two designs is a more perfect spoiler. IMO - the extension of the Enlaes is good, but it looks goofy to me just sitting on top, with the curvature of the stock spoiler lip exposed. The ECS might be just a little tall, but at least it flows nicely with the wrap-over on the lip of the natural curvature of the trunk lid. Has better esthetic flow...

    I would agree for the most part. On a black car the enlaes looks great as it doesn't look like it is just sitting on top as the black car helps it to blend. I will say you shouldn't be able to see the stock curvature of the trunk with enlaes mine just isn't installed absolutely perfect.

    Isn't the ECS Spoiler a bit too high for the rear? The spoiler arch is short so probably it makes it look that way. But I think I like the more subtle one - the Enlaes. Well, because of the arch...

    Enlaes Vs. ECS Carbon Decklid Spoiler

    ECS is a lot more aggressive it looks like, but if I'm not mistaken the enlaes is quite a bit more expensive

    in my view that makes ECS the better spoiler, I've also heard about some quality issues with the enlaes through this forum, not sure about ECS quality as it's a relatively

    Anyone have An ECS on a Mythos car? I'm curious if the black on black makes it any less aggressive

    Agree 100%! I'll be holding out for ECS to hopefully make a less aggressive version.

    Ordered the enlaes from ECS. Took almost two months to ship. Came in damaged. Returned it back to ECS for a refund and decided to order the ECS. Hopefully this comes intact. Thanks for the comparison pics.

    Has anyone heard any news about Enleas. Are they still in business?. They were supposed to have redone their molds because of all the fitment issues. I have not heard any updates as to what is going on with them. I prefer the Enleas over the ECS one but would prefer to see one even smaller than the Enleas
