Exactly, the SS spoiler is a aerodynamic nightmare. Have you ever heard a car hit a main straight on a road course? The thing whistles pretty damn loud. That's because it's creating vortices, and if you know anything about air crafts, you should know that vortices are not good.

The Freedom spoiler is a much better design aerodynamically. And IMO, they both look good, so in that case I would choose function over fashion.

Neither was I, I just get tired of hearing that "If its not an SS hood or spoiler its crap" I think a lot of ideas get shot down before they have the oppertunity to become good ideas...

I definitely would prefer the freedom design over the SS spoiler because of function. I do agree with the comments about having a hood to compliment it, like yours McNord! Now get it painted like your sig!

I have the RK Spoiler and the Wide Sunoco Hood on my 2000 and I think it looks awesome... Car is red and the hood and spoiler and rear panel are black... (still trying to figure out how I want to paint the hood to incorporate black stripes)... Did see an RK on a car that had a stock hood and didnt think it looked as good... The hood makes it!... If i remember Ill try and get some Pics up of my car in the next couple of days....
