mmm have to say..... depends on how many more horses you add to the front. because really just a looks thing. no real benefits that i know of. sorry :D I'm only making 10 to start if they dont sell. than I will not carry them. and will think the spoiler with tail light. but currently is off the table for this year. need to work on my spider and the ghia. ghia will be getting media blasted in the spring and body work will start right after. spider needs a few small bits and tweeks here and there. after 1st year driving

should help with exhaust blow back. creates a firm line of aerodynamic separation.

A spoiler for the most part is an appearance item. The aerodynamics of a spoiler doesn't kick in until you hit 85mph, and that should be saved for the race track

I'd like to figure out how to reproduce one of these out of fiberglass:

It was made by Walter Rohrl in Germany. I have yet to mount mine. It's made of a rubber material and needs painting. First of all I don't know what to paint it with. Second I have to drill holes in the trunk so I'm debating on that.

I'd like to reproduce one that is hollow but has about a 1/2" lip around the base which sits on the trunklid. And attach it with 3M adhesive. That way if I decide I don't like it once it's mounted I can remove it.

I can do it if your interested but it is pricey.if you want to try. to make one piece i would get foam really tight foam carve your shape than lay fiberglass over the top.

I was thinking about making some myself. I suppose I could make a fiberglass mold off the top and bottom pieces, then make two halves them glue them together possible?

The thing is I don't know how much of a demand there would be for this spoiler. I know not allot in this country since there is probably less than 100 Bravas still on the road here.
