Mounted forward?  Are you looking for reasons to piss people off?  The back edge of the spoiler lines up with the trunk edge, it looks fine.  Get off your ****ing high horse man, you're starting to piss people off again.

IMO, the worst one is the FMS spoiler.
The best is the "REAL TBird"s spoiler

Look, He's just trying to say that if you mount that fiero spoiler like it SHOULD be (To the rear edge of the decklid)  The flared up portion of the decklid tips the spoiler and makes it look crazy.    Mount it so its flat, and it sits too far forward on the decklid. Not to mention it really DOESNT follow the car's countour very well.  Its his opinion. Thats all.  No need to get bent out of shape over an OPINION. 


And yes, if it was advertised as a thunderbird spoiler he DID get hosed, considering that isnt what the pictures show. 

And as a side note, I BADLY WANT an FMS for my 88.  IMHO, it just looks BAD ASS.
88 TC, Lots of Mods.

C'mon people its fiberglass, just contour the pedestals of the spoiler so they match the curved lip of the decklid.

Well excuse me for not wanting a fellow club member to get hosed $200 for a $50 spoiler! I *think* the Fiero spoiler looks like @$$. If you think otherwise, fine. I could care less about g YOU off of all people. :shakeass:

Spoilers suck.

Their name fits...they "spoil" the lines of the car.

To each his own. I personaly belive it depends on which spoiler is on which car. Also the Theme of the car plays into it

True decklid spoilers increase downforce and decrease drag at the same time. I doubt any of these do much of either.

Usually -any- spoiler creates drag, but the benefits of downforce can outweigh the penalty of drag.
