I always like that styling cue where the rear spoiler forms part of the overall design. Without the spoiler the design would not work. It's built in, it's an integral part.

I have a few examples and it seems that most of these cars are from the '90s. I'm sure there must be more.









And the nomination for the ordinary car:



Let's see your suggestions

The NSX is a good shout..

The Viper is one I didn't really consider as its like a big lip. Completely see what you mean though and definitely part of the design.

959 great shout..

I can't agree with the MR-2 I'm afraid. Just some plastic put on the side to make it fit

I can think of plenty of other integrated spoilers, but none of them look good.

Erm, yeah, but it's integral to the design of the gt regardless of it being plastic, the design would not work otherwise, as per your first post, no?
I think the design would work though, sure it wouldn't be a GT but it still wouldn't look out of place (I do think the design works better with the spoiler but I don't think it's an integral part)

I've got to agree with you here :-)

Lotus a while back was a great shout too
