Default Functional Spoilers

Does anyone have one or are they just for looks now a days. J's Racing and C-west are the only ones ive seen or that appeal to me. Does anyone have those on their car. Hows the stock one hold up?

That's functional Id say at higher speed, that too is more of a track mod, car doesn't really make the power to really benefit from these things. If you were putting down 300hp plus and tracking it then I'd say yea grab a nice heavy duty wing to really hold u down but at this power it's really more for look. I'd focus more on suspension thhings your feel and benefit not only on the street but on the track if your taking it there. Get the rando wing it's subtle compliments the car well, get the spoon if u want I mean u want feel the difference unless you are really in touch with the car lol and I mean reaaalllyyy in touch.

JDP Engineering wing is really nice too. It's subtle and you retain your 3rd brake light. As JCRZ said, you're not really going to notice a difference.

The only function a spoiler would have (aside from looks) would be to add drag and reduce gas mileage. This car won't be able to hit and hold speeds high enough to make a wing useful in corners. Maybe at constant highway speeds it would produce down force but why would you need that? It's not like you are going to get much faster than maybe 120 MPH.

Yep.. Looks only for a daily driver.. As stated even at "legal" highway speeds not going to do anything for you. Same goes for the OEM.

RAWR! I figured as much.. I guess it was the kid in me just wanting a "supra" wing on my car. lol but i can't bring my self to spend 1000+ on CF, Plastic, or god forbid fiberglass. I mean a bonnet from vis was under 600 for CF. so how can i play for something smaller and more expensive that doesnt add anything. for the price ill just have to wait for bolt ons.
