Street WK 12-11-2006, 08:32 PM i like. but id have to see better pics.
SpeedRacer333 12-12-2006, 12:20 AM Hmmm, I think I prefer the more understated Mopar rear spoiler instead.

HoustonSRT-8 12-12-2006, 12:24 PM I'm really liking the appearance of the Mopar one. I just wish it were a little longer. Something like the spoiler on my father's V70 R wagon. However, I think that might hit the window when it was open.

I presently have the mini painted Mopar spoiler that quite frankly looks good but doesn't really accomplish much. So I bought the larger piller mounted smoked Mopar spoiler but I don't think it will look compatible with our GC SRT8s. Your "find" seems like an excellent solution, especially if painted to match. I say go for it and show us the results. dlw
Street WK 12-13-2006, 12:25 AM I plan to have one of these spoilers soon and I'll post pictures as soon as I get it on.
fledda 12-16-2006, 08:52 PM great. looking forward to seeing it.
Street WK 12-16-2006, 08:54 PM By the way, if anyone orders one tell them **************** sent you.
I am not trying to advertise my site, but just giving fellow ethusiasts a discount (which is a mystery number and doesn't occur until your bank statement)

that looks really nice, real low key;how much for that really little piece of plastic?
WJ_Jeep 12-17-2006, 08:58 AM I like my Mopar spoiler, it is small and subtle.
AaronC 12-20-2006, 09:32 AM I wonder if there is any aerodynamic advantage to these things.
Goldengreek5 12-20-2006, 09:38 AM I wonder if there is any aerodynamic advantage to these things.
I got one of the Mopar spoilers, and it netted me a 3.75 mph gain in the quarter mile!!:eek:
Jk:p
PsychoSRT8 12-20-2006, 04:39 PM what's the reason for a spoiler again?(specially on our cars) sorry if it's a dumb Q.
Razorecko 12-20-2006, 04:43 PM what's the reason for a spoiler again?(specially on our cars) sorry if it's a dumb Q.
for looking good - i ordered the one from cardata in black clear coat for my 07' I'll post up picks when i get it-should be within a week. Than we'll see if it actually looks good in person or not
idealrides 12-20-2006, 06:10 PM also please try to figure out if it keeps the tailgate any cleaner.

Mommy Wagon 12-20-2006, 08:49 PM Won't keep the tailgate clean at all. Other than visual gains (if so you like), there will be nothing in the performance area.
The vehicle is basically a box in the rear, and this leaves a HUGE low pressue turbulant area that is essentially a vacuum. The spoiler just exctends the high pressure area a few inches from the roof, and drop the pressue further back.
The rear spoiler essentially cannot add to the areodynamic effeciancy of this vehicle.
I could give details if you would like?
OurZoo 12-20-2006, 10:27 PM It's all in the details, I'm sure. Go ahead. You know you wanna.
Mommy Wagon 12-21-2006, 09:00 PM That's the thing, I actually don't. I had written about aerodynamics/rake and frontal area in another post, and if no one cares, and is happy with it's a spoiler for visual effect only, I'm good with that.
OurZoo 12-21-2006, 09:59 PM Gimmee the other link so I don't have to be responsible for your carpel tunnel.
True true. I bought it for looks (thank goodness)...... it does absolutely nothing functionally.

I hate to disagree, but my best friend's, uncle's, next door neighbor is an engineer at Chrysler and he swears that the Mopar spoiler creates 142 lbs of downforce, adds upwards of 250 RWHP and will cut your 1/4 mile time down to the sub 9 second range.
So there.
ChrisWK 12-22-2006, 03:37 PM Hello All, here is a picture of my rear spoiler I got from Lund it is it is called the rear window deflector.I got it at speedycarparts, it was about $80 bucks and 50 to paint it. It also does a good job of keeping the rear window clean. Let me know what you guys think.

OurZoo 12-22-2006, 05:15 PM Looks okay, but I'm thinkin I like the other one. I saw it on SheriSRT8. I'm gonna have to pick that one up eventually. Maybe if I saw yours in person I would feel different.
fledda 12-22-2006, 05:43 PM I like it and the price is not bad at all.
HoustonSRT-8 12-22-2006, 07:42 PM ugghh....I do not like that Lund one.

It does'nt look out of place, looks pretty good. If you like it, thats what counts. For the price, seems like a bargain.:)

have a question I went to the dealer last week to buy the original spoiler they told me it would be $50.00 to install they told me they had to drill is this true I thought I saw something about double side tape to hold it in
kramsay1234 02-19-2007, 11:59 AM I don't mind it as far as spoilers go, although I am going to stay spoilerless.

NO NO NO. The Mopar spoiler is a 5 minute (and that is being VERY generous) mod. No drilling. It's just wping the surface with an alcohol swab, then lining the spoiler up, and pulling a tab that removes the cover on the 3M tape. It's cake.

Street WK 02-19-2007, 03:09 PM I have that spoiler posted above (Lund) and I love it. I have it in Black Clear Coat to match my paint. 2 minute install, if that. But I also have the roof racks.
haplain 02-19-2007, 03:40 PM Could I get the hyperlink to the Lund spoiler please?
Razorecko 02-19-2007, 04:50 PM any shots from the rear ?
ChrisWK 02-19-2007, 09:17 PM http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k305/ChrisWK/JeepStuff082.jpg
