'''Introduction'''<br>
The use of low profile rear spoilers that reduce over all drag.<br>

== Instructions for mod ==
Remove any existing wing type spoiler or rear cargo rack. Buy or fabricate your aero spoiler and install.<br>
The type of spoiler you are looking for will be small, it will be 5/8 inches long plug or minus 1/4 inch (15mm +/-6mm), 3/4 of an inch seems to be the sweet spot (19-20mm).<br>
The spoiler tilt needs to be about 20 degrees off a vertical axis.
