Is the lid spoiler worth it?!
it seems like the lid spoiler costs roughly 400 - 500 with installation. But it's so small. The IS and BMW lid spoilers are more noticeable and seem to add more style.
Your thoughts on if it's a winner add-on and the price??
Thanks

Style? How about traction. At speeds between 20-40 mph, the lip spoiler adds approximately 200 f/lbs of downforce, essential for exceptional rear stability in a front wheel drive vehicle. If you're not in this for the performance, don't bother. It's a winner!

BJ, I think you read that wrong I could have sworn it was good for 250, but you loose a little as the fuel tank drains. I might be wrong though I'll have to go back and check the manual.
oh to answer your ? who cares if anybody else thinks if its worth it. Its your car.

A rear spoiler's aero functionality aid a rear wheel drive car. Putting downward force on the rear of a FWD car takes traction away from the front wheels.
It is only for style.

I have it and find that those TLs that I see without the decklid spoiler look somehow incomplete...I find it to be a good, subtle final touch.
Oh, and Roadman, BJ just threw the whole downforce thing in to continue in his effort to throw sarcasim into every thread....I enjoyed it.
