erebuni Spoiler


Why dont you just go and get a SPOILER (cause that is what it is) from a 91 Supreme from a wrecker and probably pay less for it..and i wouldnt call that a wing..or a spoiler for that matter its just a fancy luggage rack.

Hi all
For ahondadriversnightmare
Please define the above three items, and their differences, so I may use the correct terminology when talking with my ricer friends
Regards, Norm

i would define them like this.

wing=mounted to trunk lid but only by a few spots,usually 2 spots,enabling air to pass under it as well as above.
i assumed we where not talking about airplane wings that is. :wink:

spoiler=also mounted to trunk lid,or any surface for that matter,but instead of mounting by a few places it mounts the complete length of the trunk lid.Does not enable air to pass under it.
Example would be a NASCAR.
Except the Plymouth Super Bird which had a wing. :-k

Luggage rack=A device usually mounted to the roof or trunk lid of a vehicle to allow the carrying of items,usually bags of luggage,by the means of tie downs.

there is another type that utalizes a luggage rack and a wing together but the wing is usually not but a few inches from trunks surface.
technically it is still a wing since it allows air to flow under it.. :ermm:

Hello all
Although informative, it was not exactly the answer I was looking for.
Regards, Norm

I like the look of the late 80's deltas with thier luggage rack. I think it makes the car look a little more sophisticated. Anyone got one sitting around? I dont have one on my car.

What do you guys think? Should I stick a luggage rack on? I think a spoiler would "spoil" the look of my car.

Im just not sure if one would look good on my car...
