In case you didn't know, the purpose of the spoiler is to keep the hood from flexing at ultra high-speeds. 


not disagreein here but I had heard it was to help keep the wipers stable at high speeds.. I guess one of the drivers for toyota in the WRC was b*tchen about the air causing turbulence makin the wipers move, but I could be wrong on that just kinda remember reading that somewhere

That may be true as well, but I've also read that it's there to keep the hood from flexing as much under high speeds. The engineers noticed that the hood would sometimes flex, sometimes alarmingly bad, so some cars have the wing there in order to strengthen the hood. wink.gif

New Toyota project coming soon...
