Funny you guys should make these mentions.

There are two OEM front lower spoilers left in the U.S. One is in Rhode Island. The price is exactly $800.

Now for the details: I'm driving down my local interstate in downtown Indianapolis. 3 lanes wide in my direction. Officer a couple hundred yards ahead going 55 in a 55, when the whole world knows the normal flow of traffic would be 70 mph.

All three lanes of traffic start jamming up, no spacing between cars, when the car beside me hits part of a semi retread, which spins into my lane - THE ENTIRE RETREAD. It hits me smack in the center of the car, breaking the fron fascia, removing the lower spoiler, and removing the rest of the bottom of the car as I drive over the entire thing.

Does anyone know how big a semi's retread is compared to the ground clearance of an SRT-8? It sounded like a freakin' explosion. I hobble downtown at 20 mph, otherwise the now loose bottom of my car would drag.

Good news - I'm fine. I already filed the claim. We got the car on the rack and removed all the loose underbody parts, and the car is still driveable. The fascia looks alright except underneath where it's cracked, and missing chunks that ripped off with the underbody parts.

More good news: 2 hours ago there were two lower spoilers left in dealer inventory. Now there is only one.
