Thanks much! Are you asking about the trunk lip spoiler? That's a temporary spoiler I got from Ebay last year. Here's one site http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/M3-ST...Q5fAccessories...That's a lot more expensive than I remember paying lol...OneslowSS found a better store that can color match you paint but I don't have that link handy. This is the wing I'm working on https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...msfitoy&page=5

i like this. i wouldnt say its a ricer mod. to be honest, even tho vortex generators on a cobalt wouldnt really do anything for performance, its more functional than the ugly stock wings we have.

You're right...it can reduce drag by a small amount but in the end, it's just a point of conversation...like the color of your stripes or the design of your wheels etc...

just one step closer to an actual EVO!

this has no functionality. period. I'm gonna put the towel hooks that you tape onto your bedroom or bathroom door in the same spot. Same premise, but with more a veracious wind velocity!

we just need someone to video tape in the back seat the back window with the wool tufting on their back windows, go driving w/o VG's. Then put some on, drive and video tape again, maybe even angling the VG's slightly for the ones on the side of the car.
