CCI Spoilers Add Style & Fuel Efficiency Without Spoiling Resale Value

Let’s talk about the rear of the muscle car. It might not be something you spend an inordinate amount of time staring at—although you certainly hope the competition will be. However, when it comes to overall vehicle design, what’s happening ‘round back can be just as important as those front-end details. Whether your vibe is classic muscle, aggressive modern performance, or something completely out of left field, applying an aftermarket spoiler can improve styling and fuel efficiency – without spoiling your resale value.

What Does A Spoiler Do?

Believe it or not, that little piece of trim hanging out back does more than add visual dimension. Spoilers are designed to disrupt the airflow coming over the top of the vehicle. They literally “spoil” the smooth flow of air, preventing it from getting trapped under the vehicle and causing lift.

Improving airflow in this way allows the car’s tires to grip the road better. That translates to a much nicer driving experience for you – with less turbulence, smoother high-speed handling, and ultimately, better fuel economy. (Just keep in mind these effects are only noticeable when traveling at highway speeds.)

It’s true that not all spoilers offer actual aerodynamic benefits. But even those designed solely for styling purposes, add some oomph to a vehicle by adding a cool, sporty look to the rear end.

When Should You Add A Spoiler To Your Car?

Spoilers only “work” at high speeds, but that doesn’t mean only high-powered rides get to enjoy the mod. In truth, you can find spoilers on just about any vehicle — trucks, SUVs, even minivans. However, generally speaking, spoilers are most commonly found on vehicles already designed for go-fast fun. Kurt Kruse, CCI Product Manager, notes the best-selling applications for his company’s spoilers are the 2015-2021 Dodge Charger (SP300BLK) and 2015-2021 Ford Mustang (SP400BLK).

The popularity of these two models in particular, isn’t just coincidence. In 2015, the Mustang entered its sixth generation with significant overhauls to styling, engineering, and technology. Dodge also unrolled several exterior styling updates the same year for its Charger model.

(While it may not be a top-selling model for CCI, the Camaro also underwent some major upgrades in 2015 when it, too, welcomed a new generation. CCI offers a few different spoiler options for the Camaro, which can be found here.)

In addition to adding a new 310-hp 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 Ecoboost engine, the sixth-gen Mustang also sported a lower and wider body shape. This design helped the vehicle achieve a lower coefficient of drag and slip through the air with more ease and greater efficiency. A new suspension allowed for better handling, and a cushy, upgraded interior ensured the whole driving experience came full circle.

Dodge adopted a trim-and-slim approach for its Charger’s 2015 refresh. In addition to a redesigned suspension, interior, and brakes, the vehicle also received an almost-entirely new exterior. The most noticeable changes were right upfront, as the Charger underwent a pretty big nose job to smooth out angles and curve around the new LED headlight housings.

Will Adding A Spoiler Hurt Your Car?

Like any aftermarket mod, there are pros and cons to adding a spoiler. If you opt for a poorly-made product or rush the installation, then there’s a good chance you could do more harm to your ride than good.

However, if you turn to a quality brand (and follow those install guides!) you certainly won’t hurt your vehicle — or its resale value. For example, if you choose a brand like CCI, you can add a customized look without even changing the base vehicle. That means, if and when you decide to sell, nothing from the factory has been removed or permanently altered.

CCI Spoilers Won’t Spoil Resale Value

With an OEM feel — and construction — CCI spoilers are very similar to what you would find on a Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang from the factory. Designed to complement the car’s body lines as naturally as possible, these add-ons won’t stick out like a sore thumb:

• SP300BLK: Designed for the Dodge Charger, the SP300BLK features sturdy, one-piece OEM-grade ABS and sports a glossy black finish. Thanks to the neutral color, it matches well with most finishes and adds subtle-but-sharp styling to the rear end, balancing out the current generation’s smoother nose.
• SP400BLK: CCI’s spoiler options for the Mustang come in a chrome or gloss black finish and feature a similar sturdy ABS construction as the SP300BLK. They’re a great way to capitalize on the pony car’s low and wide body styling.
• SP100BLK: CCI also offers a gloss black finish spoiler option for 2016 and up Camaros, featuring a one-piece OEM-grade ABS construction.

All CCI spoilers are manufactured in the USA, and are designed to overlay the OEM part. This gives the feel and appearance of a factory-made product (and a nice clean look that’ll help preserve your resale value). Match up the spoiler with CCI’s other restyling accessories like grille overlays or wheel covers, and you’ll have a complete package that not only looks great but also bumps up your bottom line.

Installation & Warranty

Installing CCI spoilers is relatively easy to do, but will require some drilling. Generally, if you want a clean, uniform look, though, it’s wise to spend a few extra dollars and have a professional handle the installation. If you want to match the existing finish on your ride, you can also bundle paint services with the install and change the color from the factory black.

Best of all, when it comes to resale value and CCI products, CCI spoilers don’t hinder mechanical or electrical operations, so your factory warranty remains intact. Plus, CCI backs up its products with a limited lifetime guarantee.

Aftermarket upgrades are an exciting way to spruce up your ride, and hopefully an investment that pays off when you decide to sell it to another owner. And sometimes there must be some risk for reward, right? But before you start making major modifications to your car, consider the “less-is-more” rule. Subtle changes like adding a CCI spoiler can help add dollars to your resale value without breaking the bank or significantly altering the look of your prized muscle car.
