Car Spoilers

Now a days, spoilers are mainly used for decoration purpose when customizing your car. Most people don't even have a clue as to what they were intended to do and what they end up doing unknowingly when they attach one to their vehicle.

Spoilers, were originally intended to disrupt the air flow across the body of the vehicle, which is known as drag. Thus increasing the vehicles aerodynamics.
They can be attached to the front of the vehicle, and when they are they are referred to as air dams. These reduce the amount of airflow beneath the vehicle which reduces lift. This helps the vehicle hug the ground for increased performance.

For most people, they install a spoiler for looks and they have little to no benefit or even worsen the aerodynamics. Not to a point where it can cause any trouble though. So don't worry about it causing something bad if you add one.
