Default How do you roll with your wing?

We like ours down. I let it come up when she hits 63 but that's it. Around town we roll the sleek look.

How about you?

Same here. I just let it do it's thing automatically. Only manually raise it to "wave" to people behind me and when I wash her. Some people are amazed by it.

Exactly, only goes up when it's supposed to go up, or when someone asks about it/wants to see it.

Like the clean look when it's down.

I keep mine down unless there is a car full of hot girls behind or some little kids staring at the car - then it goes up, just for show and then back down.

Yeah, mine goes up when I see the hot girls also, takes about 10 minutes to get it back down..., but the spoiler is always down for the sleek look.

Down. I'm developing a rear wing for the car in the down position. Hopefully have it done by end of august.

Mine is usually down, I make it go up manually for the same reasons people said earlier.

I like the look better with it down, I think the wing looks cosmetically cheap/fragile. I personally like the SRT wing a lot better. I like when its up on the freeway though, I think it adds some stability for sure.

I drive with mine down for the most part, but I do not hesitate to increase my speed to watch the reaction to the many people that are eating my dust...

And before anyone says anything, no, I am not a street racer but I do love to go a few above the speed limit to see how people react to the spoiler going up... I love seeing the fingers point in my direction!

It brings me a smile...

I usually keep mine in the up position. When I'm driving around town it will go up and down at least once every 5 minutes. I drive and I just pass the speed for it to come up, I come to a light, back down. Drive off, up it goes, hit a light, back down. I'm afraid that during the summer with the heat here in Miami, it will cause more wear to the motor, which is not something I want to deal with after the warranty expires. Also, I see at least one other crossfire every day here, so I think people are used to the wing thing.

Same as many have already said...

I let it do its thing which usually means down all the time.

I also sometimes raise it to amuse hotties and kids behind me.

And I too have been known to speed up a bit just to watch it self deploy and show off

I stole the idea of what's under my spoiler from someone here but I don't recall who...

Up most of the time. I like the aggressive look and it makes the car look longer.
