Default Two days with the EX, and I'm still mistaking the rear spoiler for a tailgater

It's happened a few times in the past two days, occasionallyas I check the rear-view I'll mistakethe spoilerfor a car that'stailgating REALLY close. [sm=insomnia.gif]

How long does it usually takebefore you get used tothe tall stock spoiler?

It's not really a big deal, just a quick double-take kind of thing.. Probably due to the fact that I'm driving on my old plates for a few days until I can get to the DMVand I'm a bitworried about getting pulled over.

I had a 2000 Integra several years ago, but the spoiler wasn't nearly as tall and certainly not so RED.

solution, tint the back window to 5%, that way you wont be able to see it

well you can see out of 5%, 0% would be like paint, I have mine tinted to 5% to match the 2 back windows. Cant see out of them at night, just use my side mirrors, but i can see out of them fine during the day.
