im refering to the wing. what is it? is that the TRD wing, availible only for the toyota cavalier? he reason i ask, is because when i bought my cavalier, it came with this wing already on it. just curious.
and dont tell me to search. you cant search for pictures. and searching TRD wing gets all kinds of different stuffs
here it is on my car

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.
Yes, the wing pictured is the TRD wing.
the in those pics are the trd wing. you have an rksport touring wing. big difference
one thing blatantly obvious is the fact the TRD wing goes over and retains the stock spoiler. your car does not have the stock spoiler.
failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
never noticed that. good call

Right because manufacturers don't put SPOILERS on their car's from the factory for looks. Some spoilers/wings/whatever look great. You are talking about the tall metal ones used on touring cars and such... uselss on FWD, yes, BUT there are plenty of good looking ones that are on cars factory, or aftermarket that look awesome. Stop tying to be cool.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

I'm no riceboy fan or anything but all you guys who think that a spoiler on a FWD car does nothing are completely incorrect. Just because a car is FWD does not mean that it wont benefit from downforce in certain situations. Obviously this applies to race cars more then street cars since the downforce effects dont really start to come into play until about 80mph. If you are road racing a FWD car on a higher speed track downforce from a spoiler will keep the car planted through turns and more stable in a straight line. On either a FWD, RWD or AWD car a rear spoiler should be balanced out by other downforce producing devices such as chin spoilers, splitters, underbody trays etc. Now I know that most of you are refering to stock j-bodies with 100hp and spoilers of questionable effectiveness when you said spoilers + fwd is unneccesary but that as a blanket statement is wrong. Just had to get that off my chest.

Agreed. On race cars: Effective. On rice cars: Useless...

Yes, noob, the search button is for you...
down force is always being used when it comes to wings. Has anyone ever considered that they are sometimes used to reduce drag. i cant say this the reason TRD put this wing on the car.

Of course no one thought of that. That would require knowledge and research LOL. I'm just glad someone else on here does know of this nice function they serve.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

but reality is 99% of the wings designed for j's was not designed properly for drag or downforce, it was just built to look nice.
