ive seen a few pictures of 914's with this small rear spioler wing thing on the rear trunk lid
do those even create any down force? is that down force that it would create necessary? are they coustom made? where would i go about getting one if they arent? those things look pretty cool |

Spoilers: disrupt the airflow over the rear decklid decreasing the chance of lift at the rear of the car.
Wings: create downforce depending on their angle of attack from the leading edge to the trailing edge. B |
