FD3S: Low Profile Spoiler ! It's about freakin' time.

Here goes. My personal opinion is with a few slight changes to give it a more aggressive look, this item will be HOT. Especially in Carbon. I believe this also flares up higher than the tail light cover that we offered. This is a great option for those seeking a more subtle wing for the street look.










As usual, let me know what you guys think.

Looks nice. I'd like something similar if I nuked my big *** wing.

yes. I do definitely want to make some changes to it, but this is a good platform to work with.

How will this install, adhesive tape? Do you have closer pictures of its profile to see how high it sits.

Im not sure how many more angles I can take a pic of.

It attaches using only double-side tape. Once the project is complete, I will test how well it stays on during high speeds

Its alright, not something i would buy if it looked like that, i think it needs more flare towards the center to bring it up a little higher, and instead a more rapid slope to the outer bridge of the car. Maybe bring the curve on the sides more towards the front of the car to provide a more gradual blending into the body. Not sure how this will work if it sits on top of the tails or actually on the hatch, possibly toy with the idea of having it in 3 pieces as opposed to one long piece.

Just trying to throw some ideas out. Also would be nice to see it in body color.


The sides where it comes down to the car just dont look "right"

I like it, let me know once it goes into production and sign me up for a CF one...

Is there anyway you can make the mounting more secure..like put a little lip that will fit under the hatch...

Anyway's let me know when it is available and I will buy it..

Anybody looking for a GT wing...and A CF tail light cover...

I was going to make one out of FG but since you made one like what I wanted to do then I just buy your's lol...

3 Pieces? It goes on to the tail light.. a 3 piece wing would be retarded and would fly off.

If it were any higher it would cause drag and not downforce.

SO PICKY!

I believe drag, when applied from the top rear of the car... is called rear down force.

ie: you cant have downforce without drag.

That being said, if this applied with double sided tape it aint going to do crap in terms of downforce no matter how large it is.


I like how it looks. Not entirely sure if I want one, but I do like how it looks
