IMVHO the cars tail end looks bland without the TA spoiler. The other spoiler is RICE for sure.

That's an OEM Daytona spoiler - from Dodge.

THIS is a RICER spoiler:

Bootcamp..thanks for clarifying that. It is a big difference.

I too prefer the wing style spoiler as I believe it has better aerodynamic efficiency if is designed right.

Many spoilers today are just for looks and can make the aerodynamics worse.

I hope the Challenger is done right.

I am all about, "if is attached it better improve performance and looks" both equally.

I do not like anything worse some some fake cosmetic performance parts. Ala, scoops on a hood that not only don't work but they don't even go through the hood.....they just sit on the hood for fake looks. Yuk. [:@]

I actually like that. . . but you have to have the whole look for it to work I think. I might get a spoiler for it eventually if I find one I really like the looks of.

The pedistals are a bit high and close together for my taste, but the overall look is pretty good.

I agree with Bootcamp as well. A little high and close for me. Only if was truly functional and help aerodynamically, I think it would cool to have one like some of the Porsche's that raise up and adjust the angle based on speed.

Now just look at the Challenger pic in Jeremiah's avitar. The clean lines of the trunk look MUCH better than any spoiler. Some cars -- such as the '99 to '04 Mustang -- indeed DO look naked without a spoiler. Not the Challenger.

RoswellGrey, thank you. I never thought about my original Challenger not having a spoiler and she did look good.

I did all of the sanding and body work myself back then and my neighbor painted it for $75.00 as long as I provided the paint.

Yeah, the spoiler delete option is essential.
