Hmmm, Jeff, you need to drill a bunch of very small holes along the upper 
leading edge of the spoiler.   That way the pressurized air will travel 
across the top of the spoiler and provide more downforce.   That will 
reduce the car's tendency to smoke the rear tires at high speeds.  I was 
having real trouble with that when I drove the car last summer.
