Road Rage, you hurt my feeling, but since I only have one, I'm OK with it.

I don't think it has any aerodynamic effect what so ever.

I didn't actually weigh it but I'd guess at 5-7 lbs.

I dunno, the more I look at it, the more I think it probably does. Definitely more than the little '00-'03 "blister" of a rear spoiler. Of course, the difference might only equate to a "subtle" change at 100+mph, but it's there nonetheless.

I really like the TSS rear spoiler

That would be interesting, but since that would put everything outside its normal angle/range of operation, not the most scientific.

One option would be to get ride height sensors, and drive along a very smooth road at a constant (but high) speed, noting rear ride height.
