pretty pricey for something that is non-functional, but then again, if I could afford it I would get it!

Spoilers are useless on any front wheel drive car, for that matter, they're useless on anything with so little hp and torque, basically every honda, scion, toyota...etc...its added weight aka ricey (note I said ricey not rice, full rice needs more then just the spoiler)

I don't know if you have ever done some serious racing on a track, but a spoiler even on a front wheel drive car can help alot. I don't know if any of these spoilers are designed to help ( I highly doubt they are) but a spoiler can really help the balance of even a front wheel drive car in high speed turns.

are you stupid? this has been talked about so many times, read up and learn before you start talking about spoilers not helping on a FWD car with low HP!? WTF were you thinking when you typed this if you think its ricey thats fine its your opinion, but know your facts.
sorry im not trying to be a dick, i just get very upset when people say that spoilers only work on rear wheel drive cars, that are really fast .

Whether a spoiler works has nothing to do with acceleration or the drivetrain...it has to do with the weight of the car and how fast it's going. This is, like, elementary physics. Next time I'm going 130, though, I'll be glad I have my spoiler.

next time I'm going 130mph I'll have a beer in one hand and a playstation controller in the other. I'd be surprised if ANY car I've seen with a spoiler has ever done 130, and even more surpised if any of them have actually done those kind of speeds on a track where turning is involved instead of "hey, its a long straight-away, wonder how fast I can go". If you actually calibrate a wing to provide the correct downforce so you can take turns at 80+ mph (on a track?), good for you. If someone bolts a 20lb monstrosity to their trunk so they can look cool in their 115hp civic, that's just dumb.

Just my humble opinion.

That actually makes the rear look better balanced with the car, from those pics anyway. If I saw it on a self I'd think rice, but seeing it on, it looks ok, IMO.

and BTW, if it was all about function you'd have gotten 13" steelies wrapped in 155R85-13's on your tC's ;-)

Default why?

leave the tc alone. wings, graphics, oversized pointless exhaust set ups. I'll never fully comprehend these mentioned concepts.

Shopping cart!

Anyways, if you want a spoiler and have the money to pay for it, more power to you. If you ask your mommy to buy a spoiler for you, then...

even funnier, I'll NEVER go 130 in the tC. Even if I were to take it to a track/airstrip somewhere, that darn limiter will keep cutting out at 127.
