I hate the way the headlight pockets collect dust and also the way all the road grime and crap just for some reason collects on the rear bumper and under the license plate area and all over the taillights....what have you guys done to try and keep this down to a minimum? It just bugs the **** out of me!!!

Even with the rear lower spoiler on my car I still get deposits of dust. About the only thing I can suggest is waxing the car regularly so the bugs don't stick as well on the front and so the dust will slide off easier in the rear.

Now if someone want to mess with a lower deflector that will change the air pattern enough to stop the dirt from depositing...

So anyone have access to a wind tunnel. :sillylol:
