It is saweet
Aluminum CF end plates 8" deep and 1" wider at each side than the trunk lid.
Right now I have it bolted to the back of the rear deck lid about 3" from the curved section.
sits on 10" adjustable stands for angle.
I am going to test for down force and amount of air over the wing with yarn and get some video of the car @65 MPH (autocross speeds) with a drive by of a car with video camera.

No pictures because it is dark when I go to work and dark when I get home.

What was the final outcome of the "air tabs" on the roof????

If you don't have a photo, can you at least draw us a picture? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looking forward to seeing it and hearing your feedback.
I have my own freaky wing idea of my own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
