Personally t2 but I know the majority would prolly want duckbill. This sounds like an expensive venture though.... Most FC guys are all over the concept stages but soon as time to pay comes the crickets are even gone.

If I had to choose, I'd say T2 all the way. Put a good price on them and imo they'll sell like hotcakes

Duckbill. The t2 spoilers look kinda odd from the rear in my opinion.

CF stock sport "duckbill" style please.

Proven function with no increase in drag in Mazda's Miyoshi wind tunnel.

Make the whole factory aero kit in CF.

Drop Cd from .31 to .29 and decrease rear lift from .14 to .07 to match the front lift of .08.

Wind tunnel developed!

I'd be in for that. I'd love to have a full sport kit.

update!

have one duckbill in production as of right now.

will post pics up when its ready!

does not come with bolting holes double stick taped will be used to install the wing for those of you that dont like drilling holes into your fc.

3m vhb tape ftw!

functional peices typically need a little more sturdy mounting than double side tape will provide. However the sport spoiler is small and in CF it should be light....I guess that'll work.

I'd possibly be interested in both the T2 wing and S4 aero mirrors in carbon fiber depending on price

Neither of those are perfect, the yoursport comes down too far in the rear and looks awkward, especially the keyhole area. The Tamon is cool except it looks weird from the side and it appears to be designed for a vert since it doesn't come all the way across.

It would be nice to have a spoiler that combined all 3 designs. Something closer to Hypertek's modified duckbill might be a good starting point.

a la...

that yours sport wing is too big in my opinion.

it would probably look nice with some wide fenders but with the stock body it just looks too bulky.

edit.. dont want to risk a cf spoiler flying off the car at 80mph so the wing will come with mounting bolts as well.

ill keep you guys updated!
