Sorry Vic - wasn't me...LOL - but I am all smiles when I'm driving, the only time I have a passenger is on Friday nights when my wife and I head out to dinner.

I like the look too - may still go with the spoiler, but I think I'm going to get some stuff from ACS first to see how it looks

I'm starting to see a few pop up here and there, but haven't seen another white one yet.

Also like the clean look on that white car without the spoiler, although I have one on my cyber grey Stingray and prefer that look on my configuration.

I also took apart the center caps and sprayed them with base clear (rattlecans from autozone)

I am really debating as to putting a spoiler on it now - I really like the look without

Grip = better - % no clue

Worth it if you do what I did - if you've already got tires - wait until you need to change them out - I'm not sure how it compares to 20's, but to the stock 19's it is significant
