Drive next to the Jersey barrier when the sun to the side of the car and you will see the shadow of the car with the spoiler deployed.

Has no one been watching the spoiler action so much they stuffed the front end... At 75 plus who cares what the car behind can see leaving it! O-Sr

If you see that pipe sticking up in your rear window for more than 4 hours, please consult your physician.

You have this installed? Any thoughts on it. Worth the cost for this kit? Are there other option such as just buying a generic switch?

Thanks.
