Kind of a side note to removing your rear spoiler. When I bought mine, it did not have one on it so I recently bought one and put it on. Anyways, the car feels alot more stable at highway speeds now than it did without the spoiler. I like the looks of it without it on there, but the car drives a little better with one on there. My $0.02!
The stock spoiler would not noticeably improve driving stability.

BS. Wings and spoilers don't have any effect until about 150mph, and even if you were going 150, the stock style spoiler wouldn't do a damn thing. That feeling was in your head.

I've never even driven that fast. And thanks for backing me up there. [8D]

guys....when i bought my car i had a "Steeda Functional Race Wing" on it...after i did the spoiler delete, at 15mpg it feels like my car is about to fly off the road because of the lack of downforce!

I didn't care for the push pins. They didn't stay in and didn't properly seal the hole. And I hold my chin spoiler on with bolts, sealer washers and nuts. I don't like pushpins. They don't really do anything "right".
Ihaveblk. silicone on the pins and haven't had any leaks or fitment issues. My chin spoiler has the pins on the corners to the wheel but the frontis secured with one way nuts and bolts.

Ok, go out and drive you car 70-75mph down the highway and then go home and take off your wing. Then go back out and drive the same speeds again and tell me you can't feel a difference. My car was wingless for 2 years and then I put one on and I can definately feel a difference.

My suspension is upgraded so it wouldn't matter, besides it looks cleaner, looks different, and I don't have to worry about the wing dripping water after I wash the car.

i went from a wing that was designed for function not just for looks like the factory wing, to no wing at all...i did not feel even a slight bit of difference AT ALL
