What kind of spoiler? Some are functional, and some aren't. Also, most people here will tell you not to get one, as you probably don't need one.

in all honesty....try sticking your arm out at 50mph...there obviously is significant downforce...multiply that by the surface area of a wing. Now, obviously most wings are for 'styling', but they are in fact serving a minor purpose (making fast parking lot turns). And as stated above, if your going to be constantly driving 100+ then go for it. I personally wouldnt put a spoiler on just because its not my taste. But OE is the only way to go.
