So there just isnt much out there for SN95's. There is the S281, which is my favorite, S281R (big ass whale tail), 95 Cobra, and a couple others which are detestable. So Im thinking of making my own. I have a friend who is a god with fiberglass and is willing to help me out. So this weekend I started designing it. I wanted it to resemble some other offerings out there, but still have its own flare.

This is my current design.

That reminds me out the wings for the old cars.... I can't remember what they're called... duck something...



Anyways, do it. It'll be awesome.

I think it looks good. Something like the very popular S-281 only smaller, perfect! Keep us posted on the finished product. Maybe youll be interested in making me one!

how much will I pay? I don't know. Whatever materials cost. But not much. Mostly just time.

I don't know man... I am all about DIY, but still... thats an ass ton of work for something thats pretty much already on the market, just slightly smaller... my question is, what are you going to use to form it? do you, or your buddy have a mold of some sort? I've been going back and fourth on another site about what i want spoiler wise... I'm thinking with my stalker hood, and the soon to be Cobra front bumper, i'll need something like the Saleen S351 wing, the 281 would be to low off the decklid, and the SR351 is well... I'm not into double stacks, BUT the S351 is sexy

We are going to carve it out of foam to get the initial shape. Then fiberglass and bondo to finalize the shape. Once the shape, height and details will be finalized on the car to get the best looking proportions, is to my liking we will paint the spoiler and make a master mould from it. Then make the final spoiler from that mold. That way I will have a good mold should I decide to make some more and sell them.

The design is just a preliminary one. Making the spoiler on the car will allow me to adjust the dimensions to achieve the best looking spoiler possible. The whole idea is to get a "Duck tail" type spoiler the compliments the car. That looks like it belongs on the car and follows the body lines. Not just an after thought stuck on blob. Which to me is what the Xenon looks like. The S281 does fit the car. I just want something different. Something subtle yet classy and complimentary to the car.
