What is a car spoiler?
Car spoilers are aerodynamic devices usually located under the front bumper or mounted on the tailgate to reduce air drag and lift, while downforce increases, enhancing stability and vehicle handling. Spoilers are commonly seen in racing, sports, or high-performance cars to improve performance and aesthetic appeal. Spoilers are made in various shapes and sizes. There are different spoilers for different purposes. Spoilers are one of the most popular choices for car enthusiasts.
