It's Biiiiiiiiiig. Even bigger and more blocking than the SRT-4 wing. And that's saying a lot.

It does block some of the vision but its not as big an STI's. But i can see why that would bug people, there's going to be alota drivers in our rearview.

this wing is for appearence only........... You don't need a wing like this unless your going 200 mph+ and then its for down force, only needed in FWD for keeping the a** from sliding. Any and all performance issues could have been addressed with a 45 degree spoiler like Nascar

not the only one

Your not the only one who like the high spoiler. It adds a nice look that the smaller spoilers don't.

The pics of the Spoiler are under exterior shots. There is also a lame attempt by me to get a 'drivers' perspective to give you an idea of out the back window from the rearview mirror. Shots out the back window looking at the spoiler are in the Interior shots section. Enjoy.

I disagree.
The spoiler on the SS/SC is wider (Left to right), but its not much taller then the base wing. The SRT-4 wing is almost level with the roof.

Nope. It's not any closer to the roof than it is on the Cobalt. The statement which one was bigger, as in more mass as in more surface area, not taller.

Gota say I like it but...... I would like it much better if it was thinner. Even though I'm all about getting rid of the unnessary (sp) I think the spoiler helps balance the rear end

I just wanted to say that the pic from Vendian out the back window doesn't show you how much the spoiler blocks your view -- or at least my view -- in the rearview mirror. It's the angle of the spoiler that makes it a problem for me. I'm 5'10. Hope this helps.
