New spoiler for the CTS


Recommended Posts

Picked up this rear lip spoiler from Bob at XMS on sale. Pre-painted light platinum, so no prep required:

Hopefully I'll attach it permanently Saturday morning. In these shots it is simply sitting on the trunk. The spoiler exactly matches the contour of the top of the trunk, and looks great in person.

It uses 3M automotive grade adhesive, so no drilling required. The spoiler is manufactured by Texas DAR Enterprises, and carries a 3 year, 36K mile warranty (!)

Hmm, "Do not clean, wash, wax, or drive for 12 hours after installation". So maybe I'll put it on Friday or Sat evening.

Beautiful design elements.

The top of the spoiler forms a wide "V", which perfectly accentuates

the brake light strip.

Bruce do you think this is just cosmetic or do you think it provides any down force?

I think it is cosmetic. My CTS is speed limited to 130mph, but is stable at that speed already. The spoiler is just for a different look.

The new CTS Sport option package also adds a rear spoiler btw.

Spoiler lookes great Bruce!

I enjoy the look of the upright spoilers, reminds me of the SS Monte Carlos with the Vertical fin.
