It's stupid. I saw a lot of crap cars with them, along with new cars. I think it adds about 2 cents to the vehicle value, according to KBB.

lol I wanted to start a thread about this, because of what I saw yesterday.

A brand new E-class Merc with three stick on vents on each side of the hood. I wanted to follow this kid(college kid) to his dorm kick the shit out of him and drive the merc off a cliff, so the poor car didn't have to go on suffering.

The wing on my car adds 40 horsepower. The "Terps" and "AcuraZine.com" stickers add 5 hp each. My blue LEDs on the inside take 60 lbs from the weight of the car each. I'd add hood scoops, but my auto transmission can't handle more power.

Hmmm....... About zero.

I have a specB. It knows all and sees all (you have to go to LegacyGT.com to understand the implication).

No wings or spoilers. The 18" wheels are OEM Subaru.
