Am I the only one who wonders why the rear spoiler??
It seems like that would be adding drag. You may want to give consideration to losing that. I have never seen an ideal aero template with a spoiler on it. If it is creating downforce, it is creating drag, and if you keep your speed under 150 MPH, control shouldn't be an issue.
I could understand if you had some huge awful curving back end on a car (Think VW Bug, Audi TT Coupe) why a spoiler would help by detaching flow at a more beneficial place in the slipstream, but the Altima appears to have a nice thing going without the extra bump.
It does look cool, gotta give you that, and it probably isn't costing you a lot. Any guru's want to chime in on how I may be mistaken about this, I'd love to hear it. I have given this a lot of thought since driving a rented 09 Corolla S last fall for a month with a wing thing and wondering if it wasn't a drag load.
