it leans backwards because the peugeot it is from is front wheel drive, and the wing is therefore designed to function in that the faster you go the more 'upforce' is generated, this will in turn lift the back off the car off the ground a very small amount reducing the rolling resistance off the rear wheels, and moving the weight onto the front wheels improving grip and cornering. this will counter act the effect of your 6x9s, subs, and amps.
you could just take it off.

Post that on a Max Power type forum, then at least they'll tell you that you've ruined a perfectly nice spoiler by bolting a volvo to it...... ;D
It's OK, I suppose, but better without.

*gallops in on a white horse* I reckon that looks okay, not too bad at all! Definately look into cutting the feet down a bit, but if someone was to tell me that was a factory option i'd be inclined to believe them... in other words, to me it doen't look to over the top  I'd have preffered it without but, well, nothing ventured nothing gained right?  |

Keep it, use it to tie your wet clothes to for drying/dog to for taking on a speed walk/others cars to for towing/people to for slagging it off. Or take it off.
Shorter posts may look better, what's the rest of that car like? Lowered/mean or original/tank like?

I keep looking back at the pics and i'm finding it very hard to dislike, it suits the shape of the car, its matches the trim colour and it does look like it might have been a factory option.
I vote keep it. Maybe fit it closer to the body and tip it foward a little but it should stay.
Does it just look like its tipping back in the pics because the mid section of the areofoil profile tips back? the lip at the back looks like it could be the same height as the front.

Chop the supports so the ends almost touch the rear wing... can't promise it'll look better but it won't look worse To be fair it's almost the same design as the one on my Audi, and that suited a big saloon, but it was lower profile to the bootlid. |

Shorter posts may look better, what's the rest of that car like? Lowered/mean or original/tank like? it looks like this at the moment but even thoug it its lowered i think the springs may get chopped a bit over the weekend...   I'm also having ideas about a turbo engine and a bit of power related fettling?! si |

Doesn't look to bad. In fact I think it works OK, almost factory look. .....and to take some heat off you, I dug this out and tried it for size Just balanced on the bootlid though. It's a genuine 1980's one! Doubt it'll ever end up on the car though.   |

Haha, i think the biggest prob is the height and angle, so teh back points up and front down plus sides nearly touching lid, you may be onto summat maybe, som eother additions like a retro chin spoiler, or how about widening it?

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I think it looks ok myself. No worse an a curse word 80s factory spoilers that manufacturers plonked on the sporty model of every car they produced! Cut the end into a lightining bolt shape and neon it up a bit ftw!  |

Try painting the wheel centres satin black to try and tie the spoiler in a bit.
