Question Optional spoiler

I'm the new owner of a 2006 SC430 (not lookin4one anymore). Except for a broken spiral cable, I'm loving my SC which is intended as a good weather, fun car.

My question is: I have never seen a 430 that did not have a rear spoiler, yet "spoiler" is shown as optional in the 430 literature I have. Did everbody opt for one (not likely), or is the option spoiler something else?

Nobody has seen an SC without a spoiler. Anyone can chime in if they have seen this Lochness Monster...

Back then, I was wondering as well. I was shocked that the base did not come with a spolier. Then again maybe they did not sell but a few, if at all.

For twenty bucks and a couple hours of work, changing out the clockspring is not that bad

P.S.
Of course for $20 you are PROBABLY not getting a GENUINE clockspring, so please be aware of that

He said he had a broken one, so I thought I'd help him out

Thanks, actually looks cleaner. I do not use my NAV anymore, I use Waze. Still working on the best phone mount option.

Have you seen this little magnetic button mount? I am not totally sold on sticking your phone on a magnet, since that is how people used to erase hard drives; but it is pretty good looking
