ABSTRACT:
An adjustable spoiler includes a front portion and a rear portion having leading and trailing edges, respectively, in parallel alignment. An extension actuator is operably connected to the front and rear portions for selectively extending or retracting a distance between said portions. A stretchable fabric covers the front and rear portions and extends therebetween. The adjustable spoiler includes a processor and a user interface for energizing the extension actuator to adjust the front and rear portion configuration. A moisture sensor may be connected to the processor for adjusting the spoiler upon sensing moisture on a roadway. A brake sensor may also be connected to the processor for actuating adjustment upon activation of a vehicle brake. The adjustable spoiler may include a tilt sensor for adjusting the vertical configuration of a leading or trailing edge of the front or rear portion.
