spoiler
would removing the spoiler have any negative effect on performance. I'm thinking it's just for style and would only be a small weight reduction.

Re: spoiler
Hard to say but I would be shocked if it didn't screw up the aerodynamics.

Re: spoiler
Maybe 10 pounds at most. It's made of fiberglass. I have one in the garage, I can get an exact weight if you really care tomorrow lol

Re: spoiler
Seeing as many cars came from the factory without the spoiler, I'd say that removing it will cause little or no aerodynamic damage.

Re: spoiler
The stock spoiler has little to no effect. In any case, no spoiler is going to have much of an effect at normal highway speeds
