many will not agree with me for so called safety concerns. i have driven the car at speeds over 100 mph without any lack of stability issues.
the reason i removed the fuse was: the under pinnings of the spoiler look cheap on a white car...it blocks my rear view...and it breaks up the clean line of a great rear end.
just wanted you to know it can be done very easily.

Yes, apparently you can pull the fuse and it stops the spoiler from coming up but you will find that at speeds over approx. 85 miles an hour, the warning alarm comes on. So, if you are not going to go that fast it probably won't effect you. I am planning to disconnect mine also but for a different reason. I have been driving my coupe in in very cold weather and when it hits -40 I don't want the electric motor on a frozen spoiler to burn out. If you look through the forum, you will see information posted by other members about the spoiler issue. Good luck.

Re: Auto Spoiler
Thanks everyone: Leebea, CrossfireLTD, Andrew & Bob G; I think I will pull the fuse for the spoiler; Leebea I feel the same as Andrew "it blocks my rear view...and it breaks up the clean line of a great rear end" Living in L.A. I don't have to worry about hitting speeds where stability will be a concern unless I paint my car black & white and add a siren and even then I question the possibility!
Has anyone come up with a modification of the "cup holder" I need a place to hold my sunglasses.

Re: Auto Spoiler
I received a questionnaire last week that asked questions about problems with the car including design issues. The cupholder was at the top of my list as well as the garage door opener buttons that you can find only in bright sunlight and only with the ignition on. You don't know how many times I pull into the garage, turn off and remove the key and then try to close the garage. Put the key back in the ignition, turn it on, close the garage door, turn off the ignition and remove the key again.

because if your car was parked outside and one broke the window out and pushed the door opener button...now they break into your house. this is a safety feature for your protection...this is why the key is required for the homelink.

2. Probably faster that's why they call it a RACEWAY!
3. Do you want the Rotex Gold Brake pads? They're new in box you'll love'm.

There are two terriffic road race courses within 1.5 to 2 hours from LA area... Willow Springs Raceway & Button Willow Raceway. Both are out in the desert, Willow Springs is out toward Lancaster, the other is out toward Bakersfield. And yes you can drive as fast as your little car can take you... But, you gotta wear a helmet so it might mess-up that blonde thing.

During the warmer parts of the season we run our Crossfires out there about twice a month... Keep checking the racing section of the forum, I usually post when we're going out to the track...

Re: Auto Spoiler
I noticed the other day when I was on the freeway going about 60-65 mph my spoiler did not deploy. My speed dropped and did not maintain the required speed and tried to do it manually and it was fine.
I am going to try it again on the freeway and hopefully this time it deploys but if not do you guys know what may cause this problem and if so what would be the resolution to this problem?
