    I was driving at night and hit a piece of truck recap and took the spoiler off. The dealer said don't worry about it.

    What does this do other than scrape parking barriers?

    Wonder if it will affect MPG?

    it keeps the bumper cover in place. I hit the tread off of a truck tire and it cracked the bumper cover, so I had to replace the spoiler (front engine cover). I figure it's worth replacing, although if it was ripped off the wrong way it might be a bit of a project fixing the bumper cover
