Yeah, but I don't care. I know arguments like that can go on and on, and I just don't want to keep exacerbating the issue.

I prefer with spoilers. I really like it. I think it helps make the appearance of the vehicle much more sporty. However, many people think a spoiler just is, well, a spoiler of the sleek looks. To each their own. Should be simple to get rid of it if you do not like it.

Here are some points to consider why it's nice to have spoilers on your car:
1. Increase Fuel Efficiency
2. Added Visibility
3. Reduce Weight
4. Create a Stylish Look
5. Increase Braking Stability

How does adding the weight of a spoiler reduce weight exactly? The purpose of them is to increase down force at high speed. The spoiler on a fwd car at street speeds is purely cosmetic.

No, it's not. As was explained many times in other responses in this thread. Did you not read the thread?

BTW, here's the rear lip spoiler on my car:



it looks good, reduces drag by keeping the boundary layer attached all the way to the rear of the car, and actually helps keep the rear cleaner when driving in the rain and the like. I like it.

Default Do you prefer vehicles with or without rear spoilers?

Without.

I understand they're for appearance and nonfunctional. They just look silly on so many vehicles that have them; like 4 door sedans and grandma cars.

As has been proven in the thread: mostly false.

Some of you guys need to learn new things.
