    Trade-in value????????

    I have owned 2 Cadillacs. The quality was very poor,and had a boat load of electrical issues. My new sedan with the Famous Northstar V8 burned a quart of oil every 2000 miles due to poor valve train engineering,so GM put a bigger oil pan on car !! After 2 years I sold it and lost 20,000$ Guys...

    WING

    Slithr, I think the wing would deliver more down force than the Vipair trunk lid. Also,the wing looks a lot "meaner" and aggressive.

    WING

    Where can I buy a rear wing for my 2003. Is the install difficult,cutting fiberglass etc...??? If not too challenging I would buy and have body shop install. John
