"duck tail" spoiler for our cars

[auto_x5.0]

Is there any way to connect all the points from that angle? Like make it one big "swoosh"?

The more i think about it the more i think this wing is going to look weird unless its molded to the trunk like the SS one.

Yeah like that...any rear shots?

 

[sleepn_sn95]

Here is one that would just be mounted and not molded. What do you want done to the rear?

 

[OnyxCobra]

it's gettin there, the SS spoiler doesn't have the curve up at the rear though i dont think.

 

[auto_x5.0]

The SS spoiler is almost straight back with a little angle upwards. And the rear needs the "fangs" that drop down on the trunklid

 

[sleepn_sn95]

I'm only using paint.net which won't let me angle anything. I know what your talking about though that in needs to go straight back.

nice to see it all coming together... i say dont worry about making it fit the stock holes... yes i know we want to save money and so on but if we make something like this... everybody and their mother will be driving around with it just because its a direct bolt on... lets make it a little bit of work and costly to make it even more uniquie and less likely that everybody will buy it because of those little things such as filling trunk holes and so on.

another angle or two, hard to find decent shots of this thing.

I wonder if theres anyway where we dont have to have it flush with the decklid. Just on top of it.........

Im sure we all agree on the shortened legs, correct?

 

[auto_x5.0]

Yes shortened legs, and above in a pic I asked for(post #184) is what Im looking for on thee trunklid part.

 

[OnyxCobra]

I wouldn't mind if it sat ontop of the trunk lid but the way it looks in post 184 is just weird, looks unfinished or something. As for the legs they'd still look good shorter.

 

[SoTxKnight]

great idea but the photoshops looks similiar to the boss wing and that 3 piece wing i am trying to hunt down...

have you all seen that picture of the saleen v6 sport model with the ducktail type spoiler, here it is

 

[auto_x5.0]

Any other views of the V6?

 

[OnyxCobra]

neither of those look half as good though.

The best looking route for this is to do a full composite trunk/wing that is molded to one, but then your talking big bucks, and i doubt people will want to spend $800-$1000 on that. Also, its going to be around a 3/8" thick where the wing starts on the top of the trunk. You cant make it too thin for durability purposes.

 

[OnyxCobra]

could just make the spoiler so it could be easily molded to the existing trunk.

 

[auto_x5.0]

Yeah, I like that idea, which could be what ford did and just filled molded the spoiler to the trunck after the bolted it up. Which would look sick IMO. You could make it smooth or you could leave it raw.
