Smile Spoiler

If you have a Red Spoiler that you do not want.
Let me know I'm in the market for one.

I m in Belmont.

Thanks

I like the way that car looks with no wing. The body lines look so much better.

I think it's opinionated if you want a wing on your car or not, and it should be up to you if you keep it. "Who cares what they think!" is what I always say

Don't forget, if you remove the wing you'll have holes in the rear deck--it'll make the car look like ****.

My car has no spoiler. I bought one, and set it on the rear to see if I liked it. I didn't, so I got rid of it. Really a matter of personal taste. If your are not sure, leave it alone.

Since your car is an R1, I suggest you keep the spoiler. An R1 is supposed to have one. If you remove it, the car's resale value will drop. You may even have trouble getting a new buyer to believe that it is an actual R1 without the wing.

I like the wing, but I'm not what you could call an impartial adjudicator...

I am totally for the wind. When I look at it without one I feel there is somthing missing. Besides what is a real sports car without a wing.
