When a car moves it experiences resistance from the atmospheric air. Some of the power generated by the engine is used in neutralizing this resistance and does not contribute to propel the car. When the car moves at high speed it also experiences an upward thrust which has to be countered so that the car can retain its firm grip on the road. A car spoiler helps in negating both the aforementioned adverse reactions. A car spoiler is a sort of rear wing which improves aerodynamics of a car. In simpler words it would mean that it improves airflow over the vehicle by streamlining it to some extent. You would have noticed rear wing like accessories in a racing car which are quite prominent. A car spoiler performs a similar function. It generates a negative lift, negative means instead of lifting up it pushes down, this makes the car hug the road better, specially at high speeds when it is needed the most.

Even though car spoilers are not as prominent as the rear wing of a racing car, they do not fail to attract the onlookers' attention. Car designers therefore also use the spoiler to add a cosmetic touch to the car to adorn ...
... it. Car spoilers can be made of different materials like ABS plastic, or fiberglass, or resin, or even aluminum. They are available in a number of designs and various sizes from enormous ones to smaller ones. Because of such variety in material and design you are sure to find one which appeals to you. You can even have it painted if you do not like the original color. Car spoilers are available for SUVs and trucks as well.

Some sports cars have spoilers already installed but spoilers are mostly available as car aftermarket products. If you do not fancy the installed spoiler you can replace it by one you like. You will enjoy moving in a car with better aerodynamics and traction because of the spoiler. To onlookers it would look like a high performance car, which it would be in most of the cases.
