I agree, that bullwinkle spoiler on that BMW is massive, what happens if a bolt lets loose and changes angle (upwards?) ass over head??

Most factory installed spoilers are attached to a much more sucure frame member than the trunk or at least to the solid non moveable body member.

A friend, big in muscle car drag racing once told me "You can never have enough horsepower or down force"
