Default rear hatch very dirty

ok my box doesnt have a spoiler and i live on a dirt road. as soon as i wash it and i drive down the road all the dirt settles in the back because the areo makes the wind blow right down that back hatch, but im wondering do the spoilers help with this at all? does the bbist one help more that the oem?

I also live on a gravel road (sucks soooo bad). Rain-X for the winer and a california duster for the summer. My wife gets a kick out of me. Drive to the pavement, stop the car, dust it off, drive another 10 miles of bug infested country roads, stop the car and wipe bugs off the front just to make it to town in style...lol


The OEM wing helps a little, but not much. If that's what you would be buying it for, it would be a waste of money. If you are thinking of looks too, then it's worth it IMO.

I live on a paved road, if I drive mine 2 miles after washing it, it goes from bop to brown in about 5 minutes, you can't keep these things clean, if you want the illusion of clean, paint your box brown or gold
