Anytime you speak in absolutes you're bound to be wrong. It's not always easier to add them. Depends on the design of the Trunk. It might require a lot of fabbing structural support.

And cheaper is a relative term. How much do you think they'll knock off the MSRP? $50? Nothing? $500? Sure they charge more to add it, but they rarely charge less to do without.

In a way this seems really funny to me because people are getting really heated about this spoiler and we literally have no idea if it will even make it into production in any version. It could be there just to piss people off .
