Riceboy does good work. On a similar theme with a BMW twist I enjoy Jimmy 540i's BMW Nightmare page.

I have a serious question: Concerning the giant wings that these numb nutz are bolting on their trunk...If that wing produced any significant amount of downforce..wouldn't it just push the trunk lid in? Aren't those wings (spoilers, etc) supposed to be connected to the frame in some way?

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"
