Which one is better?

Type-R Spoiler or Universal Aluminum Wing Fits (Adjustable)?

it really depends on what type of car

Well, my car is 1995 Honda Accord EX Sedan.

it depends on the color too, light color i would get the type-r, dark go with the Universal wing

I believe that the spoilers we see in most cars nowadays are purely decorative. Spoilers are just that - designed to "spoil" the air pockets which develope around the rear end thereby reducing the coefficient of resistance, and also to help keep the tail end down. It is only functional when driving at high speeds. But it adds to the cost of the vehicle.

It also adds to the insurance, as they say 'ah boy racer, guaranteed crash! Double his premium' At least in Britain they do :-/

thats why we made sure to buy a probe without one recently, insurance was high enough, didnt want to add to it. but if you are going to get one get the aluminum wing one

Well,, they're more than decorations (in a bad way).

At low speeds, they're like a speed-brake, causing enough drag to reduce acceleration... and at high-way speeds, they destroy fuel economy  ;)

Us old foggies remember modifying our street cars... of course looks were important,, but performance came first  :)

yah it is the same over here

nah. I don't think so. The insuricane won't be go up.

can i ask what you actually do with your car????
is it used to race? drag race street race? or just as a standard car

Just as a standard car or just a street racing car!

ODD......

I'd sure like to know what streets you can drive on.

SO I CAN AVOID THEM !

It makes no sense to put a large spoiler on a front wheel drive car. The whole point of a spoiler is to add downforce to a certain area. On a front wheel drive car with a spoiler you just reduce the effectivness of the front wheels.
