Yesterday, we held court on the worst aftermarket performance upgrades. Today, we move outside the car to ask: what`s the worst aftermarket exterior upgrade?
The cheapest and best aftermarket visual upgrade is, without a doubt, a fresh coat of wax. The worst, in our opinion, is the giant wing on an otherwise unmodified FWD sedan. It screams "I don`t understand what this is for, but I`d like you draw your attention to my Hyundai Elantra." A spoiler works by creating a downforce effect which pushes the rear of the car downward. On a RWD car this helps create more traction for the driven wheels. On a fast FWD car, a spoiler can work in concert with other aerodynamic upgrades to keep the car stable at higher speeds. On an unmodified FWD car, it does little-to-no good.
