POSERS BEWARE!!!! If you manually put your spoiler up with the switch when you are driving under 75 mph cops could think you are speeding. 
LOL (old joke)
I have actually thought about this when passing cops while driving below the speed limt with the tail up. I wondered if they were smart enough to know that I was recently exceeding 75mph. Oh well, if they pull me over I'll just use the poser defense.

I'd love to see the look on the faces of cars around as I "get wing" but I'm outtta there too fast.
I imagine it'd be like, "Gert, did you see that?? Dayum, our Kia don't have no wing"

i played with my rear view alot and I still cant see it- I know that it works cause i played with the button- I always get on the highway and get up to 75 (quickly) and then slow down just because i know that its up.

Us Targa owners also can't see the wing go up or down. Different rear glass and then distortion when the Targa roof is open. I use the white van trick too though......
Plus, in hot weather I admit to manually deploying it. Don't think that's poseur, just like to keep the engine cool.
Happy motoring!

Guilty as charged, do it. My brother-in-law is a cop, I'll ask him if "they" know about the deployment speed...Will be a great Thanksgiving table discussion. His dad is the man under the Sheriff. Speeding tickets usually taken care of.
