Are you thinking about adding a car spoiler?

Has the thought of adding a car spoiler to your Orlando Toyota recently crossed your mind? It’s a great way (and an affordable one) to create a custom look for your ride and also – believe it or not – to improve your car’s performance. However, although they’re just an accessory, you do need to take a few things into consideration before you buy and install a car spoiler. See what the experts at our Toyota of Orlando body shop have to say about it!

What you should consider before adding a car spoiler

#1: You need to do the right research. You can’t just buy any car spoiler and stick it on your car – you run the risk of it looking ridiculous. Certain spoilers look good with certain vehicles, so do your research. And don’t just rely on pictures. Remember, they’re taken at certain angles and with particular lighting. Try to find the car spoiler you want in real life and look at it on a car that’s similar to yours to get the best idea of how it’ll look after you install it.

#2: You need it to match your vehicle’s paint color. If you’re buying a carbon fiber spoiler or one that’s primed to paint, you’re in good shape. However, if you’re buying one that’s already painted, you need to ensure that it’s going to have to match the existing car paint color on your car or you run the risk of it clashing. Paint codes are unique to makes and models, so do your due diligence before swiping your credit card.

#3: You’ll have to care for it much like the rest of your car. You’ll have to take care of your car spoiler much like the rest of the car – wash it, wax it, etc. And don’t forget, it can still be damaged like the rest of your Orlando Toyota, too. It’s at risk of dings, dents, scratches, and even wind damage if the weather is bad enough, so take the proper precautions.

Why you should invest in a car spoiler

However, we’re big fans of car spoilers here at Toyota of Orlando. Here’s why we think it’s a great accessory to add to your car:

#1: It creates a truly custom look. You can spend a ton of money swapping out wheels, having your car repainted, etc. – or you can add a spoiler to the back. It’s an easy way to create a custom look for your ride without having to spend a ton of money or put your car in the shop for a long period of time.

#2: It enhances performance. Believe it or not, adding this car accessory can actually enhance your car’s performance. Car spoilers catch wind when you’re out on the road and this actually causes them to push the back of your car down, giving you improved handling. It’s a performance improvement that you don’t even have to crack the hood for, and it’s free.
