I sense your frustration Metro. That was a lot of work.
One of the things that some of us seems to fergit is that marketing/style is key to sales. If you can't appeal to all the senses regardless of function, then yer sales can fall flat. the spoiler make make it look more sporty than it actually performs as a functioning spoiler. Other examples are the faux diffusers and drilled/slotted rotors on street cars.

I remember a time when most cars didn't have a oil pressure gauge or tachometer. Now they are pretty much standard on all cars.
