Difference in Spoilers

As the title asks, what's the aesthetic difference between these two spoilers:

The first one called performance is both longer and higher.

Yup what he said.
This is the one I got.

Its the first one you posted, and notice from the back view, it has 2 ridges that kind of come down. The 2nd link you posted is the OEM M5 one, which just looks flat all the way across without the ridges.

There's little difference you can notice between both of them unless you take closer inspections. Functionally, it has little to no difference depending on speed.

Seriously, just pick what you like more. Most other people won't even notice unless they're an enthusiast. But honestly, even someone like me will notice but won't care much. It's really all about you.

Are those the only 2 spoilers you're interested in? There's also Vorsteiner and 3d to name a few.

Not necessarily, can you post a link to each? Thanks!

Thanks for the input, I wasn't asking for you to choose one for me, I was asking what the differences were as it's hard to tell from pics. To me, after seeing pics of others actually on their cars, there is a difference between the two. The first one sits up higher than the second, and the second one looks cleaner, less obtrusive. And functionally? Seriously, these will have no effect on sitting the rear end down on this car.

from size and shape perspective:
the first one is longer, taller and go past further the the edge of the trunk lid. Much more aggressive and noticeable.

the second one is shorter and lower. much stealthier looking. i believe this is shaped after the M5 spoiler. maybe you can look at some M5s and you can see in person.
