Default Rear wings

I have recently heard about people modifying the rear wings of their Crossfires. One instance involved a new SRT-6 owner removing the wing altogether and just filling the holes. I have also heard of people pulling the fuse that controls the rear wing activation of standard Crossfires. I hope these people realize that these wings are there for a reason.

The wing has a purpose, namely to provide downforce to the car at speed due to the sloping shape of the back of the car. You may recall that Audi recalled and subsequently changed the design of the TT early on to add a spoiler lip. Though some may feel these items 'ruin' the look of the car, it is not safe to drive the car at speed without something back there to help keep the wheels planted.

Just thought I'd comment because this is a safety issue.
