I've added this wing out of clear Plexi ( so I can see out the back window ) It is in the older style of Tran-Am Racing. I have struts supporting it,but it is very strong & is certainly getting the looks.

pretty good idea i guess for plexiglass so you can see through it. can you tell any differences in the way the car handles at high speed? and umm isn't it just a spoiler because air doesn't pass beneath it as well as over top?

PLEASE TAKE THAT OFF. YOU HAVE AN AMAZING CAR.





Why would you do that to it???????



You might as well buy spinning hubcaps and canadian tire underglow and be done with it.



Please remove said wing, and ask someone to hit you in the head with it.





(If this car is strictly track-driven, or will see the track, by all means go ahead and test the wing. But don't leave it on while driving down the street. There's a reason your getting looks.)

How does it feel at speeds over 100?Are you sure your getting good looks or bad looks?

It sure is sticking to the ground...maybe too much. I'm still unsure if I want to keep it or not.

Here's another view

i bet it works, does look kinda funky though, not too bad, but its not quite right

that looks really functional... but that does not quite fit your car's look, maybe you can paint it the same color as the car?

Maybe I'll just remove it & put a 1 inch lip ( gerney flap) on the existing "spoiler". I am always willing to try something new... It would probably make alot more sence.Thanks for the imput.
