Default Is the OEM rear spoiler functional?


As the title states, does the OEM rear spoiler produce down force or is it just cosmetic?

Is there a true spoiler made for our car? In other words, eliminates uplift while producing no downforce.

The oem lip spoiler produces 3lbs of downforce.

You have 3lb nipples?!

Not decoration, rebuttal of magical interpretations...

Is that due to the actual weight of the spoiler?
