Default Rear spoiler

I have a 2003 convert and looking to possibly put a RPI spolier on the rear, does anyone know if they help with the dust and dirt in taillights and rear facia. I love the looks

They help.....pull everything back on the rear so it all has many chances to stick and be messy.

Mine is an RPI and I love it too.

Seriouslly, you would be better off finding a wax that does not attract dust and dirt. I know it sounds dumb, but there are differences.

The wing will actually cause a low-pressure area at the rear of your car that will pick dust up. The wax may help you to not take it with you.

Good luck
