I'm considering a spoiler but I'm sure. I like it on this car painted body color, but mine have to be black and my car is Orange. I wish I coould find a pic of the whole car. I wonder what it would look like black on an orange car? I wish those lights weren't in the way either.

Orange & black... Halloween?

If the bumper on your car is black and the black spoiler is similar in hue then I believe it would look good (kinda like all one piece). If the bumper has been painted the body color then I'm not so sure it would really balance out as well.
My two bits worth...

I like it body color, in fact I would paint the black body color as well.

They are great curb finders

Part of what I'm afraid of. I've already bumped curbs with my tie downs.

Car has to remain orange. No way around it. I'd like a black car too, but it's my wife's car and she wants it just like the day of our wedding. ( o.k, so I can have rims, dual crabs and a spoiler.)
 
Don't paint the black body colour - it just doesn't look right on Midgets - Make a cardboard spoiler - get some black construction paper, some orange construction paper try it out - even drive around the block to test clearance - may look goofy but it will give you enough of an idea.

Now I know you are from Mississip & all and that you love love love that cajun cookin, but do tell, how do dual crabs make the car go faster? better traction & cornering maybe but speed? (except reverse)

Funny you brought this up; I had just been looking into these a few weeks ago.

Here are a couple more pics I came across:

Aside from the clearance issue (had one on a Mini, and you get used to the limitations pretty quick), my main concern would be drag. How much is the car affected/improved/hindered in daily hwy driving? Handling? Cooling? How about mileage? I would love to hear from anyone who has installed one of these...


EDIT: FYI on my Mini, I noticed no real difference in handling or fuel mileage, but did feel a little drag accelerating up to speed. I did have a major improvement in cooling at speed, the dam being ducted to the radiator, and as that was my goal, I was happy. No speed-bumps for me, though...
