I thought I'd wait until I had some pics to contribute for my first post here. Here's some pics of the M3 style lip spoiler I got off ebay.

You're stepping into deep mascara there. Let's hope no chicks are on here.Whatchamacallit said:.....Lip spoilers are indeed for looks only.
Kinda like putting lip stick on the lips. (Actually, no I wouldn't know anything about that. Honest)
Right. Especially when they find out it's good for chapped lips.Sturm said:.......I think i'm the only one in the Toronto area with a lip spoiler. I hope it stays that way, but I doubt it.
I don't get it. :donno: :tard:kiteboy said:.....(that's origin of the term "spoiler")......
If you are referring to a drag strip, none of the above. All these devices increase downforce but also drag. Downforce pushes the car down to increase traction which is mostly needed during cornering. It does also increase traction in a straight line, but I doubt the TSX (because of its low torque) is anywhere close to traction-limited in a straight line. Therefore, all of these devices will increase drag and slow the car down in a drag race.Amoretto said:ok, my interest is piqued. ive seen the pictures, read the commentary, and now i think i want one. but one question, is there anything out there better at reducing lift than the obviously light wieght lip that's more practical. those huge carbon fiber spoilers look heavy duty but are they really working? plus, drilling into your truck or sticking some heavy duty-tape on your paint never seems too appetizing if later down the line u might want to change your car's appearence
so the real question is, what's the best spoiler to get that wont 'spoil' your car's look or performance at the strip?
