!spoiler Got Stolen!

WELL this is one of the worst days of my life...My sPOILER IS GONE.... I come out after work AND MY WHOLE TRUNK IS MANGLED... NO WitNESSES NO NOTHING.....i cant believe this....i haven't even called autopac....i think im honestly just going to keep this off record and buy the parts from somewhere....my deductable is a bit high right now...cause of an accident a while ago.... Also they felt like scratching the right corner Altezza while they were at it...They never touched those the rest of em..... they didnt get into the trunk itself just bashed it on top and ripped the thing RIGht out....this is just great..... .....plus i was asking people would my spoiler be under warranty...all ive been getting is i dunno or i dont think so cause its aftermarket....:o :o ..just thought id vent before going to bed....tomorrows a new day......

Man.. and I thought I had bad luck.. WTF are people thinking..

Do you have some enemies or something? A spoiler usually isnt on the top of the list when it comes to things to steal..

PS... If the person that did this is reading this.. Please feel free to come steal my wing.. I hate the F*ckin thing!

Please explain to me the advantage of having a rear spoiler on a FWD car. Seems counterproductive.

accords have a very heavy nose compared to the rear(~350lbs), and a big wing will make it a close to 50/50 weight distribution ratio

ive seen a 5th gen prelude get dents in his trunk from a wing, a 00 epb si, a 94 teg a 95 accord all have little depressions on their trunks now cause the massive downforce the wings create. and another thing, i saw you said it helps distibute weight better, not in hard cornering, your going too slow to have enough downforce. on strait line runs it will add MORE weight to your rear and less to the front, not what you want.

There's no point to having a high-downforce wing on any car's trunk unless there are support pillars for it that provide rigidity to the system.....otherwise you just end up with.....*gasp*....a dented trunk.
