Unless you are travelling over 90+ on a consistent basis, very little to nothing at all... it's a purely looks modification and only is functional at high speeds... in addition, it's generally used more for additional traction on rear wheel drive cars and won't help our FWD tC out much at all.

There's only two I really like... the kaminari (On a kaminari kitted car) and the APR that is on the H&R demo car and rockblockers car as well) BOTH or them aren't cheap though...

It still wouldn't help you like it was designed for... just be happy with looks and for goodness sake... don't buy a straight one.

I like the lip spoiler a lot... subtle and clean... the OEM pedestal is ok and matches the car... I've seen the APR CF one on the H&R car and really like it on a set up tC... (Just 600+ dollars... wow)

The OEM pedastal spoiler is 99.9 percent looks and .1 percent (maybe) downforce gain... so, take that into account... if you want any, if minimal downforce from a wing... you're best to look APRs way...
