Lightbulb FC Trunk Spoiler Development

Hello everyone. I'm a new member but lifelong rotaryhead.

I'm getting ready to build my RX-7 now that it's been some years since graduating from design school. One aspect of the build I've been eager to tackle is aero. I am currently in the process of developing a new trunk lip duckbill style spoiler for all FC models (coupe & convertible).

2 main drivers of this project:
- The Sports spoiler is becoming increasingly rare
- Limited to no other options available

The goal is a subtle, elegant spoiler that compliments the stock body lines. Just wanted to share this project and gauge interest.
Below are images of the spoiler at its current stage of development.

Looks good so far, need to see it from farther away to judge it better-

Thank you. Making the vert attractive is definitely a goal.

Thanks for the feedback I'll get some pics from further back. Car isn't running so it stuck in the garage unfortunately.
