How often does your spoiler come up on secondary roads?

[amitmishra4]

Old topic I know, not sure if this was originally a rhetorical question but I have been wanting to figure out a way to see my spoiler come up... how do you guys know when your spoiler comes up? I know the spoiler light only comes on when the spoiler fails to come up, and you cant really see the spoiler in the rear view mirror. The only way I have figured is to have my wife follow me or set up an external camera on a mount to test if the spoiler is working. :-)

It's a little overkill, I suppose, but you can install a spoiler activation light in the dash. Sold on eBay.

Put an offensive phrase on your spoiler and it will be easy to tell as people pass you. They tend to let you know with one of their fingers.


On a serious note just trust that it works, and know that It will be up once you pass 75 then will go down once you drop beneath 55. (Correct me if I am wrong)

I believe it's 50mph on the down-stroke. Mine goes up at 75mph on the speedo which is actually 73mph. If I rise up in my seat till my head almost touches the roof, I can see the rear spoiler is up.

Wow, I was just kidding trying to do that

I see you speedo is off about the same as mine. I kind of like having a 2-3 MPH buffer
