mightyS Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Is the rear spoiler functional in providing downdraft or is it just for looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 i think MAYBE is might provide a little downforce, but for the most part it just seems like its for looks. Kind of like the fog lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_hunter Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Probably 99% for looks. If they wanted serious downforce, there are better ways to do it. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyS Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 I like the way it looks. I have a At blue GT. The spoiler is large, but doesn't seem to be angled downward much. I've seen other cars where it is angled upwards which would give no down force at all. The STi seems to have a real spoiler. Spoilers seem to be very common on cars now. I see just about every Toyota camry and Hyundai has one for a sport look. I find it funny to see them on these slow cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The wing is for looks.. the foglights however are functional from my experience.. just need better bulbs in there. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsyGT Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 The weight of the spoiler adds about 15lbs of downforce. :D I ditched mine, now it looks less camry-ish. (Camry has one that looks very similar). tom tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbi012 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 ya I dont like the stock spoiler, im looking more into either the sti spoiler or a custom made one. and I think its for looks except if had aero dynamics which would improve performance.

agctr Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Personally, I think its all for looks, might add a smidge of DF but it would be hard to notice. C-West or Ings, well that might be a different story. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonusparker Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 dumb question for the day....are drivers allowed to use their fog lights in normal conditions...and drive around looking cool in australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 umm, please post your questions to the correct forum section or start a new thread in the appropriate forum section. No question is dumb.. only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked. To answer your question, here in the US, most areas and state only allow 4 lights on at the same time.. either fogs and low beams, or low beams and high beams.. but not all 6 lights.

fbi012 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I love this spoiler!! its angle is simular to the build in spoiler which makes it look pretty nice (black instead of red). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerami1981 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I think jonusparker was asking if fog lights were legal for normal driving in austrailia, not the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
