You guys don't know what your talking about, it takes a lot of force to pull the spoiler off. I had two ****ers try to steal my wing last year and all they did was bend my trunk.

I say go for it

Ummm...Maybe you should have kept the jeep

Not a bright idea let along even contemplating it.

my bad. i figured it wouldnt work but i didnt know id get ripped on this bad. i guess i just found the only reason why i miss my jeep. and its not that bad of an idea its not like im doing this on busy streets. in philly when it snows the city shuts down, esp. in west philly. so the streets go mostly unplowed for a day and there isnt anybody out on the streets. i just went and tried to lean on the wing )never really touched it besides when im washing my car) and it would sure as sh*t would have broken right off. thanks for the warning

Wait, wait....I'm sorry. Don't tie it to the rims. Tie it to the Recaros. The holes are there for a reason.

Hey man, why don't you look under the bumper and make note of the tow hook located there, I bet that would make a fine place to hook on a tow line, I do not recommend more then one at a time though. And tell your freind to hold on when you goose that **** and the rear comes out, lol
