I like to have a good view, Yes it effect's my view, the others don't care that a
unseen tailgater is drafting,Personally I do, and wish the wing was not in the headlight line of the cars behind me. I like my shopping cart handle though Myop

the spoiler blocks the rear view of the police light bars, but what really blocks my view is the rear headrests. i push them down so it's not too bad. actually though, if the spoiler wasn't stock, i'd probably get a ticket for blocking rearward vision.

I've owned the car for about a week now, and let me tell you I hate that damn wing. I've backed into 2 cars at the mall, killed my cat, and almost hit a kid on his way to elementry...



j/k doesn't really block anything important.

I just cut a section of my wing out, about 1/3 of the way over behind the driver side. Solved thew vision problem.

Get this if you think the CF spoiler is blocking your view! Gruppe-S has one in stock! Call and ask for Cal

I've found that the wing perfectly blocks your back view when your on the highway. You can't really see any cars behind you unless it is pretty close. Some might not mind, but i've found it annoying especially when police can be right on your tail. Oh and once I thought the wing was a car when I checked my blind spot
Same here...Gruppe-S cracks me up, theyre always on the hustle, pushing the parts lol gotta love it

I find the wing only blocks the light bars on cop cars. Other than that, I can see everything.

I find the wing blocks SUV headlights pretty effectively.

Mine no longer blocks my vision after taking it off and throwing it into a corner of my garage. My Cannondale is laying on it. I call it my "carbon pile".

Blocking headlights = good
Can't see police = bad

The 2nd gen spoiler was the same for me, so I'm used to it. But I definitely have a harder time scoping out the popo.
