It's called a spoiler because it spoils the clean desing. Poor cars on those pictures

Actually, it's just a matter of opinion. IMO, some spoilers *do* ruin the look of a vehicle, but in the case of the spoiler I chose, the Lorinser deck lid spoiler, I think it finishes off the rear end of the vehicle. To me, it looks a little too plain without it.

Here's a link to pics of my SL with the spoiler installed -----> http://www.digitalxy.com/archives/000058.php

Euroteck Motorsports is a distributor of CEC Products. E-Mail me if you want the Lorinser Deck Lid. It'll be ~690$

"A spoler is called a spoiler because it spoils the design" therefor many car brands is using difusers, to make "ground efect" Look at the Enzo and the Koenigsegg. 210mph+ but no spoiling spoiler

The car functions as a spoiler.
The official name for these is actually something like

Rear deck lid.
