Rear spoiler

What performance affects will installing a rear spoiler have on my car? Will it handle better, will it use more gas, or is it just there for the looks?

looks until you get to high speeds. im sure it would help a bit with downforce, but nothing you would notice on the street.

Just for looks. No functional spoilers exist for any street cars unless you're going at least 200MPH!

Wings and spoilers are all for looks. A street car CAN'T go fast enough for them to have any aerodynamic affect or benefit.

yeah the only way a spoiler will have an effect on your gas mileage or handling is for you to use on of the spoilers they put on top of the big rigs or duallys "the ones on the roof" to deflect air ....LOL..then your looking kinda goofy going down the road arent we...LMAO
