Default rear window spoiler.

Been trying to spot a CTS/V with a rear window spoiler like the STI, or even the crys. 300's, I haven’t yet seen a cadi. but I bet it looks good.

Any pictures floating around out there?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean, but this thing (top of the rear window) was on mine when I bought it last June. IMO it looks OK, but I may try to remove it this Spring if it won't screw up the paint. The wing on the trunk stays being as it is screwed on.

I thought I saw one on a V2 once and it looked alright...I am curious how it affects the 'drag' (cD), good or bad?

Honestly I think warmer temps would be the time to attempt removal.
Weather absolutely sucks in the northeast now...

Besides, it's not worth that much to me.

Well, you're paying for shipping.


Assuming I remove it.

My first V had one of those on it. I thought it looked horrible in pictures but actually pretty decent in person. That and the trunk spoiler are for sale.

haha. well not the best looking one.

I've a lot of variations of them. I'm sure there is good looking one for these beasts.

edit: actually i think that just a bad angle.
