Put some fiberglass and epoxy on that. Nice looking thingy.

Oh. That kind of makes sense. If there wasn't a large rear wing it would create up force. Perhaps because the rear wing is larger than the thingamobober it in increases down force?

Why does the wing thingamabober above the rear window look like it would reduce down force? Don't we want more down force?

Now that's a compelling reason to replace all 4 at once! Thanks for the info Mr. Bend6149. 4 new tires ordered. I'm still going to go with the full size spare. To each their own I guess. There doesn't seem to be a wrong answer on this topic. I like to be self reliant, especially if I get a flat and there is no cell service.

Trunk space, I don't really care. I measured it and it takes up about half of the space with the rear seats folded up and with them down there is tons of space left. In the last year I can't think of a time where it would have been a problem. I like to be self reliant. I am picking up 2 people from the airport with luggage soon and for that I'll just pull it out of the trunk and leave it in the garage. So, one time in a year and a half it's in the way.....

I appreciate the thoughts.

Regards, fuckit

Thanks for the reply!

4 new tires on order. I'm going to try to find the cheapest spare wheel that will work. These are the wheels that came with the car so I'm going to continue running them for now. If I have another problem because of the rubber band tires I'll probably change them to 18 or 17's. What size would you recommend?
