I remember when 1 out of every 2 914s had a little spoiler sitting on the rear trunk. Now I only see them on teener racers. Is it too high of a poser factor, totally unkuhl, a fashion trend, instigated by aliens from Mars?

the duck looks good.
but unless the spoiler is taller than the roof line - my understanding is that it won't get enough air to perform a function. less weight - more speed : ) |
