You've got every kid on the block who wants a spoiler on his ricer and voila- prices skyrocket. The parts themselves usually are made really cheaply- what can fiberglass cost? And while they might look really cool- they do jack-**** for real performance- Unless you find yourself regularly doing 100+ MPH they will do little for your car. But as has already been said- "to each his own"
What is funny is all these front wheel drives putting a huge spoiler on the rear of their car. Not that it will really hamper their performance, but shouldn't they be putting it on their hood? Thats where they would need the down-force.

My point exactly-
Its the idea that looking like your car is fast can actually make it go faster- HA!
But we are basically just animals and that sort of thing almost equals plumage on a bird for the sole purpose of attracting a mate- lets face it *most* girls dont know the difference anyway so I'm sure its worked for a couple of guys.
In my opinion the money is much better spent elsewhere.

I am not going to put a body kit or spoiler (if I do) untill my car is at least running 14s.
