    I know the purpose of that one but I didn't know it's useless for FWD cars.

    If you are running for more than 200 kph, is it still useless? Or it's really only useful for RWD cars?

    as per my post earlier (based on my personal research) - note na none of my cars since 1999 had a spoiler

    it should push the car down if you're driving more than 120km/h

    however, it will also make the car "heavier"

    so if 2 identical cars on a straight line, 1 may spoiler the other wala. mas "madali" makakarating yung walang spoiler sa 150... pero once they corner, mararamdaman ni spoiler boy yung benefit nung ginawa nya.

    *F1 cars has DRS na magbabago angle ng spoiler nila sa straight line para reduced drag and "gumaan" cars nila

    different issue, same topic -> spoiler

    sa hatchback, crossover, SUV -> maganda ng malayo kapag may spoiler

    mahirap natin i-judge yung naka-spoiler... baka nga naman tumatakbo sila ng more than 120

    maalala ko, after 1999, Tamiya na lang car kong may spoiler

    Euro plates are still the most useless mods I’ve seen in a car

    Di ko kelangan ng big & loud spoiler to run over 120kmh, even over 150kmh.

    Aanhin mo yang spoiler if your car can’t even do 100hp at the wheels?

    Pero sa panahon ngayon na bawal dine-in, oks na oks gawin table kainan yan!

    13-FB35-A9-291-B-4913-AEA7-E364-C592-F763 — ImgBB

    Still undecided which pickup to get, conquest or pro4x. But I already bought a set of wheels. And they’re just sitting at my parents bodega

    So far wala pa naman ako "useless" na mod sa Mobi namin. Palit head unit to android, palit ng stock headlights to Osram NBL.

    I am planning to change my stick antenna to a shark fin though. Di ko pa lang makumbinse sarili ko na bumili.

    Tanda ko dati nung 90s isa ito sa mga uso. Tsaka yung mga sticker sa body na mga tama kuno ng bala.

    You are right, it is deemed useless now unless you use it for a fleet of trucks. For cars nowadays, your cellphone should do the job.

    This reminds me of the guy who always gets lost even though he is using Waze.

    Meaning, less speed na lant takbo compared to 1999? Or you see less benefits of having one?

    Tawag namin jan ng erpats ko sampayan ng microfiber towels [emoji23]

    Seeing these spoiler wings on cars not built for speed just makes me cringe, but what the heck, that's what makes them feel their ride is "cool". Sabi nga, walang basagan ng trip [emoji23]

    I thought that one is to avoid getting scratches when you open the doors.

    Here's a mod I did with my M3:

    Rear wiper deleted

    Some may deem this is a totally useless mod.

    For me, it's one less part to maintain. Also makes the rear window view cleaner, less clutter. 20190203_175654.jpg20191231_140147.jpg20191231_124114.jpg

    Looks neat! The problem is, how are you suppose to clean it? I mean, the portion of the car is prone to be dirty when it's raining.

    I might be wrong though, but that is my observation when compared to a sedan.

    Let's agree and judge it as "useless".
