I know a lot of you guys will flame the spoiler, but it is a copy of the actual race wing these cars used,and yes it does work, and no you don,t have to be doing 200mph.

Yea i do get a lot of negative comments, i tried to make mine individual as there are two other cars in my area extremely similar looking, 1 is the same color but hi-lighted with silver and a diff body kit, the other looks the same to the average person but a diff color blue and i got sick of people saying they had seen me somewhere or doing something i wasn't,so i managed to get a copy of the v8 touring car racing wing made that they used on those models in 92-93. When i can afford it i may change it, oh well until then
