I, as well as most on here, will recommend the Bridgestone Blizzaks. You can even get them in the stock tire size if you don't want to get new wheels to put them on and you can get them in a V rating that is good for speeds up to 149 MPH.

Dewing it! Make it a true sleeper. My 19 month old loves the sound of the car. Oh yea, don't forget to take off the SRT embelems. Buy it man.

No. I had a friend of mine who works in a body shop paint 4 plugs to go into the holes. They are the plastic. Kinda like the ones that hold your trunk liner in. Seal them from the bottom and you are good to go. It is not perfect, but it is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new trunk, buying a new wing, or having the holes filled and the trunk repainted. I will post pictures this weekend after I wash it. It is also very easy to put the wing back on if you want to.

I personally love the wing on this car, but if you do anything I would simply replace it with the SXT wing. I think dewinging it is dumb, and also you won't hold the road as well if I am not mistaken.

You are not cornering at 110 MPH, and the wing that is on the car makes little if any downforce. The only time a wing is needed in racing (with the exception of high end drage racing) is when you are turning. Dewinging the car could theoretically make it faster by reducing the drag. I honestly think the wing looks like a basket handle and brings way too much attention to the car. Especially from the police. I have gone over 100 mph without the wing and I didn't notice any difference.

I was not bashing anyone when I said to dewing his car. I was just letting him know what options he had. I don't think it is very cool to say something is dumb (especially without giving a reason). I personally like the look without the wing.

For the majority of all driving the spoiler is just a cosmetic thing, but if you want to run it up to full speed and go around some sweeping curves then you will not only want but need the spoiler to keep it on the pavement wheel side down.

Tonight I did 120 around some sweeping turns with no ill effects. i would never want to turn this car at 150mph with or without a wing. That is a recipe for death[sm=smiley11.gif].The wing is just for looks. The wing that comes on these cars does not resemble anything from the racing world. It look's like a damn basket handle. I don't mean to be blunt, but my car handles the same as it did when I had the wing on it.

The factory spoiler has been wind tunnel tested and it is proven to be functional for both downforce as well as increased directional stability. The manufacturer has to make it look good, at least in their opinion, to help stability as well as sales and a big aluminium wing would look odd as well as ricer. Given the cars shape I think the spoiler looks good and matches the car well. I'm sure the big aluminium wing would be more effective, but it also looks very odd. If you were to push the car to it's handling limits without and then with the factory wing, you will notice a difference, but then again you will have to be at speeds far in excess of any legal limits not to mention most roads crappy conditions.

i'm not a real big fan of the spoiler myself, and i want to replace it wih the SXT spoiler. That is until, I save up enough $ for the carbon fiber trunk lid [8D]
