How much do spoilers cost?
They were most often used on production cars to give them a sporty and racy look. Many aftermarket spoilers are available from sources such as JC Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) for $150 to $300. These come with ready-to-paint primer finish, so painting them to match your car can cost an additional $100–$200.
Are wings and spoilers the same?
Both wings and spoilers reduce up-lift at the tail of the vehicle, but use different mechanisms. Wings are airfoils designed to directly deflect air upwards and thus push the rear of the vehicle down. Spoilers are barricades to undesirable flows, and thus are able to reshape airflow streams around the vehicle.
Can you make your own spoiler?
Making your own wing spoiler allows you to both customize it according to your needs, and also save some money over a commercial product. Although working with fiberglass takes a lot of patience the end result will be your very own custom fiberglass wing spoiler.
Do ducktail spoilers work?
With a hard top the airflow is a bit smoother, so the spoiler won’t have to be so high, or go so wide to have an effect.

Is a wide-body kit worth it?
The best wide-body kits are absolutely performance-based. Yes, there’s a small chance they can save you fuel, but again only by comparison to fast driving habits without the kit.
