Driving in the city with spoiler up, COOL OR WEAK?

Driving with a group on some great NC mountain roads, we experimented with keeping the spoiler up at high rpms, but relatively low speeds. Definitely had a positive effect on the temp gauge readings.

Cool. Now we're getting somewhere. I am interested if anyone has bother to look at the durametric readings. Anyone?

Doesn't he thermostat keep the temperature of the coolant itself pretty much constant and isn't each gauge going to show a different needle position given otherwise the same coolant temperatures?
Underhood air temperatures are the question.
As far as being cool in terms of attitude versus temperature. It's kind of like plastering extra badges and labels all over the back of your car. Would you seriously even consider this?

It serves no purpose, but it doesn't result in babies being punched either. To each his own. Personally I like doing it the old fashion way...

I say whatever floats your boat. I happen to like the look of the fixed spoiler (e.g., on the Turbo) but I don't think raising the mechanized spoiler has the same visual impact. It looks like someone raised a spoiler that's typically down at low speed.
Plenty of people like fog lights for aesthetics over practicality, too. I'd say the same is even true of Xenon headlights -- which is why you see so many kids in Hondas with those annoying "ion blue" bulbs.
