Default High wing spoiler

So I had the opportunity to buy a take off high wing cheap. I wanted one on my car from the beginning so I bought it and I do like the looks but I do work on my car…. A pain in the butt. I think it looks good but it’s always in the way. Oh well…. What do ya do…

I love the high wing on my car too, but it definitely hampers rear visibility which sucks on these cars to begin with. Sacrifices!!

The higher the wing, the closer to God.

I like big wings and I can not lie.

size matters.

You’re a real Trooper.

When it comes to the rear view, the the high wings can be vision Killers. Sometimes when you’re coming Out of the Shadows and are on The Edge of Darkness, the rearview camera can be Brighter Than a Thousand Suns. I let Judas Be My Guide.

Jake you make a good point. Out of curiosity has anyone installed a rear view camera on a 1LT? Something the dealer could do I imagine. Curious on cost if anyone has done it.

Did I misinterpret you handle? My answer was just a bunch of Iron Maiden song titles stung together.

I think the high wing looks great especially if you have 5VM splitter and rockers.

The high wing is on constraint now…yet I ordered one from GM on Black Friday and received it two days ago.

That makes no sense…

Nope, I just completely wasn't expecting your response and you crafted it well. I should have picked up on it though. Maiden is my favorite band. I see them every year or so whenever they are close. This year I actually flew out to Indio for the Powertrip festival and saw them open for GNR (who sucked badly BTW). Maiden was epic as always and played a few songs they rarely play live which was a treat. Seeing them next November in Mass with my son.
