That's got to be custom made or custom fitted lol.of its mounted to the window that's too much weight for snow and if its mounted to the body. You couldn't open the hatch

Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about the hatch flying open unexpectedly.
Or ever, really.

Not really sure much of the downforce is getting applied to the rear suspension though.

What? I thought all FCs came with that wing.

It looks like someone was a fan of Sierra Cosworth or SVO Mustang styling.

Looks like the Escort Cosworth whale tail. Just doesn't work with the FC. That being said, I'd love to have it as a dining room table.

That would make a nice tray table while working on the car.

no, the whole car is for sale (no engine and already missing some parts) but that guy must be thinking that because of yellow color it's gold he has there.

Is it even supported underneath?

Reminds me of a Lantis Mazdaspeed spoiler.

I've never seen anything like this on an FC. I love when stuff like this pops up!

It is a hoot when you see crazy stuff like this. I'm all about giant wings when they are appropriate, Bosozoku is one example where you need a big wing. But on a FC it's just bad.

Of course you'd fly, because physics.
What you should be wondering about is if you'd land.

I'd simply glide in and land softly, of course.
