doesn't look to bad man, I've always been interested in them on FC's as I can't really picture it/can at the same time.

Keep up the good work, good to see people doing their own ****. More pics once painted/finished!

I may want one depending how it turns out.

Are those supposed to be the TriForce wheels in the first drawing? I just picked up a set, can't wait to get tires.

I'll be home in March and finish work and paint will be done. I'm wanting to put a LED brake light in the shallow part of it as well. If I reproduce these....won't be even close to price as what they sell......I like the creative part of this work....stay tuned.

Make that duck bill rear spoiler in your drawing and use a clean rx7 for the demo pics and you might stir up interest.

That is next in line......along with my own fabrication of the pieces that go under door, between front OEM mudguards and OEM rear aero piece.....all will be 18gauge steel....and the lucky demo car getting all these one off pieces is my bro's CLEAN S4 in white.

I'm more impressed by your sketching skills. I do like that you're going a different route with the rear window spoiler as the only other one readily available on the market.

This thread should be titled, "How to decrease turbulant flow over the rear window and increase the low pressure wake behind the car, creating a larger wake. aka more drag therefore more lift, less gasmileage, a lighter rear end at speed, and a lower top speed; while looking good."

Tried to use that exact title....but moderator wasn't having it. Guess great minds think alike. Made for more of aesthetic piece...not to keep me safe while running 10's with apex seals made from cococuts. Thats funny!

Appreciate the feedback. Maybe someone with some photoshop skills could slap it on your ride. Once I get the spoiler done, I will load pics. Maybe before I put in third light, and after.
