I saw a mercedes mclaren slr's crazy wing the other day and thought, I can build that! So long story short, with the help of a welder, half a trunk, and a case of beer my car has a retractable wing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) . and yes you can still store the top in trunk with no problem.

That is very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
How do you activate it?
How much difference is there say at 100mph?
914's tend to get light at speed.

That looks so great, nice job!

it took me about three weekends of tinkering, most of my time was spent designing and wiring the scariest relay board ever.
one electric ram is triggered by a speed sensor (I also have an over ride switch) to move the wing out, the second ram for the brake is triggered (only at highway speeds) by the brake lights. I haven't really felt much of a difference as far as the wing but the brake really catches a lot of drag.

Too cool ! !

I thought about this for my project and then decided to put all "neat things" on the back burner to get the car on the road. Nice fitment and motion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Great implementation. I'd love to see some video with the car standing still and you flipping switches to make it do its thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Dood, that is messed up. Very Cool. I also like the DeLorean paint job. Another cool use for a trunk monkey.

Okay, admit it! You got a very small and skinny kid to hide out in the (hot) trunk and push up the wing for the video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
