Looks great so far.
The only thing i don't like is that it curves around the corners so much. Kinda reminds me of the Varis lip. I think the long edges make the piece look more heavy and massive.
Would that be an option to cut the corners by a couple of inches?

It's very difficult to show this piece when it's in the raw material form. It'll not look like the Varis spoiler. When it's in carbon fiber form, I'll show the piece in various angles. It'll definitely be more aggressive and larger than the OE style spoiler and I think it is the goal of this project.

Hey quick question since you own a roadstar, who is going to be the Guinea pig to mount the first one and see if it stays on? I assume double sided 3m tape is the way this will mount? Also consider this when shaping and trimming. The smaller the connection points the harder to put tape under, so maybe trimming the sides to bring in but allow for better contact makes sense, not sure if you have bought of this but looking great so far... oh and you're doing an awesome job pissing me off with your spy shots... can't wait to actually see a real photo of this thing!!!

One of the coupe owner will be the first to mount this spoiler. (I won't say who) All consideration has been discussed with the manufacturer regarding mounting and fitment. Unlike the roadster, the coupe has enough flat surface on the hatch to mount and should use enough tape to cover the whole mounting surface.

This is looking amazing - I'm extremely excited for this.

I've loved the OE spoiler I have on my car since before I had a coupe, but after seeing these pictures it just feels...inadequate.

TurboDream17 · 07-28-2017, 10:21 AM

How much do you think this will reduce rear view visibility? 20%? 50%?

I had the tekarbon spoiler on my car previously, and even with that obviously being pretty low profile, it was still visible in the rear view mirror. The "cut down" in the center helped a lot for visibility. With my car on coilovers I already can't see the person's face in a car sitting behind me at a stoplight

.

Design is looking great! Thanks for putting in the work!

The headlight of a Prius sit higher then my trunk line....this may help reduce blinding from anything behind me

My vote is 2x2 twill.

ZeD4Mr · 07-29-2017, 11:47 PM

It'll be 2x2 twill and top right to bottom left in direction. Matching the CF roof GB patterns and direction as well as the diffuser and front lip.

Hell yeah. Don't have to worry about CF that doesn't match now!!

ZeD4Mr posted an interest thread about producing a rear diffuser (cosmetic piece) similar to the bay one out there in carbon if there was enough interest. Not too sure what front lip he speaks of, but i hope its just as aggressive as this rear spoiler!

coh661 · 07-30-2017, 09:28 AM

Front lip? That would make my day! I've been looking for an alternative to the Mstashe. Side skirts would complete the entire aero package

Good times ahead.

Agreed. Just some simple side strake carbon pieces that mount under the factory side skirts would do it for me.

I'd really like to see a front lip similar to the Arkym Motorsports one. It's got some size to it and reminds me of the GTS front lip.

Here's the link to the carbon diffuser discussion thread in case anyone wants to throw out ideas.

I think that option is called the Roadster.
