Where is this front spoiler? I thought spoilers are on the trunks of cars.

I took out a squirrel at about 50 mph (absolutely could not miss the double-darting misdirected nut case!) and heard the thump from the front spoiler. No damage or residuals from the poor rodent. Maybe the dealer did not install it properly since this is a dealer installed piece of equipment.

The front spoiler's the part beneath the bumper. Not all cars have them, but most sports cars do. They're both called spoilers because they both essentially perform the same function of increasing a vehicle's aerodynamics and traction by keeping the car lower to the ground at high speeds.

I have not hit anything with it. It scrapes from time to time going in and out of driveways. Oh well....One of these times it will fall off and I will continue tearing A## down the road.
