A Second Spoiler

Do you guys think a spoiler on top of the rear window would look good? Or would that be too many spoilers? Or maybe take the wing off and add the rear window spoiler? I was thinking of a spoiler similar to the ones they use on the new sti's from the factory or something along those lines.

I'm generally not a fan of more than one spoiler on any car unless it has some sort of actual (or manufacturer claimed) function. Ex: The diffuser on the back window of Evos that is supposed to help with aerodyamics.

On the whole though, I think one spoiler is enough.

Well like I said, you could always delete the rear trunk spoiler and add the rear window spoiler in place of it....

I'd put a big NO on this Idea. At least for my car. I think It would look stupid and out of place. But thats just my 2 cents.

But if you want a sweet spoiler go with the RK SPORT 3 piece, Mercury has it and it looks sick

Yes because more downforce on the rear of a front wheel drive car is exactly what you need.

I'd say pass on the idea but its your car sooooooo.......

Not trying to start a huge debate, but traction is traction, weather your FWD or RWD.

Downforce in the rear DOES HELP IN FWD FOR HANDLING!!!

It will keep the rear end from trying to swing out. It really dosn't matter weather they are the drive wheels or not!


And the only time you need traction on the drive wheels is when you are acceloration froma low speed, and downforce isn't created at low speeds!

but I agree... don't copy the STi
