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.

Default Re: Spoiler Question (super-dooper fast)

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.
