Default Making a spoiler

I have been fooling around with the idea of making a lexsan spoiler for autocross and roadracing. Here is what I have done so far. It will be similar to the blainefab design but much cheaper to build than to order.

I say leave it as is, I've always like the whole cardboard look. Only down side is you can't drive in the rain

I think I'm gonna get a donor hatch and not wreck mine. I think the blaine fab spoiler looks awesome and it also is very functional. You will see them on hundreds of CMC cars.

You think you will be going fast enough for it to function. Then your going to need a front splitter to get front down force, if your going fast enough to lose front grip.

Probably more of a looks and its cool thing than functional. If you go fast enough to need rear downforce the front end lifts from the design of the radiator. Haven't you hit the brick wall at like 140 yet? lol but you will prob make a front one too.

The rod ends and linkages look cool like NASCAR style, where did you get those?

I still throwing the idea around. I can pretty much return everything but the angle iron I cut up.

unless your going 140 to 180 they do absolutely nothing.
And they give the car a Ricer look (sorry).

I would think way less than 140 for it to start functioning, obviously the faster you go thre more down force.
