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 |

$80 at Tweeks For the most part, it's going to be for looks until you get to much higher than average freeway speeds. Be careful that you understand the difference between wing and spoiler. A wing will provide actual downforce (sacrificiing top speed for traction) and spolier disrupts airflow over the car. |
