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.

So, how many of you have trunk lid spoilers, wings or wheels bigger than 18"?

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.
