I crossed my fingers not to delay too much and have production piece in everyone's hand this summer.



that would be awesome. Have this piece on the car for the Oktoberfest in New Orleans this October/November!

Do Spoilers make a car go fast?

For those of you who aren't familiar, great read. Shows that this type of spoiler can really help push the air up/horizontal rather than down after the tail of the car, reducing tail end lift.

Now get this thing made already!

Fantastico!!
Thank you! You have a very keen eye. It's on the floor so it looks higher kick than it is.

Either way I'm on board, this is awesome.
The edge mount is not finalized yet. Still shaping and trimming.

Yes, please see below.

I wouldn't say it's high kick since that wasn't the intention. However, to make it more aggressive and follow the lines of the coupe hatch. Long and low won't enhance the great rear end of the coupe.


The hatch is on the floor so it'll seem to be higher kick than it actually is. I don't know how to rotate the picture other than 90 degrees. Tilt you head to the left slightly, I guess.

Lots of trimming and shaping still need to be done. Just showing more angles and some work in progress.


hope this clears up regarding the angle of the spoiler..

Looks great so far. I'd say that's a perfect medium kick. Besides, anyone who wants a small kick can buy the OEM spoiler.

Is the flat spot in the drop section going to remain like this or come to more of a tapered edge???

Is the final product going to be in CF like the Skyer roadster spoiler? Price around the same?

If so I may have jizzed a little in my pants.

It'll have a more tapered edge to compliment the coupe lines.

That is the goal. It'll be in CF and around the same price range as the roadster version. It'll definitely be higher cost since this is a bigger piece.


Stay tune.
