    Stick on skewp?

    I'd take the skewp and sell it on ebay.

    It'll be easier to ship than the spoiler.

    I think it's now fashionable to put the spoiler in the front and the skewp behind the driver's compartment?

    Honestly I wouldn't mind the skewp. Would have to do some work to make it functional, though.

    Bed spoilers are just f'ing retarded. Is "Truckin'" is doing a "90's retro" issue and needs trucks for a photo shoot?

    I'm not a fan of either.

    That's like asking would you rather have $1 or a kick in the balls.

    Not a fan of the hood scoop but its much better than a bed spoiler...

    neither.

    I seen a lightning the other day with a honda spoiler..........looked like a shopping cart raped an F150.
    blown or not, it still looked dumb.

    Id rather have a sinister little whistle or whine and look unassuming

    Well if you go with the skewp your going to have a tough time keeping the ass end on the ground with all that extra HP... But if you get the spoiler then it's useless because you won't have the HP from the skewp to put it to use.

    Can you get both?!

    My '69 Camaro had a bad alternator bushing. Screamed like a banshee at 3k+.
    Engine was tuned to "come together" at 3500.
    A lot of people I went up against at the strip swore I had a turbo.
