Lots of SS/SC owners (myself included) have gotten rid of the spoiler because of the visibility problems and vibrations at high speed. I suggest you don't get it.

since were on the spoiler subject. wtf does the SS/SC wing actually do if anything besides making it look cooler. does it help hold the back end of the car down and if so at what speeds. is it really just for looks or does it actually help in any way for the daily driver/occasional street race?

As for it being functional --- no it is a front wheel drive car and at no speed attainable by the car would you need extra downforce on the rear. As for vibration, I have noticed at 50 to 60 mph it is just flex from air going over and under it, makes me think it is even less functional.

also, if it wobbles, it isnt forcing air up and your car down...its forcing air up and down, and your car up and down, leaving you with an average of no additional traction.
it all depends on your speed, your traction, and the angle/size of the spoiler
