Mike - I realize this is still very early in the process but do the sides need to be that wide where it sits on the rear glass?

To add to this question, how much if any will the angle/size of the spoiler block the 3rd brake light? Just wondering if it would look odd having the spoiler covering say, half the light.

Question for you Mike, are you considering fender-braces?

probably not, doubt there will be enough interest.

[IMG]Looking great for a design in progress Finished product will it have a profile similar to trunk lip spoiler from side to cut down on the bulky look the work in progress has. Also thinner profile on leading backside edge thinned down to match lip spoiler?[/IMG]

We actually are aiming to make this piece very smooth looking, so once painted it will blend in without too much details going on, on such a small piece. More like a "Lorinser" type look, rather than a stock trunk spoiler replica.

It covers the brake light, but because of the duckbill design, it doesn't really "block" it. The brake light, is still fully visible, and none of it is blocked by the actual spoiler. Just think of it as a cap.

jweb12 02-10-2009 11:31 AM

^ Sounds good. I don't mind that it's over the light obviously, just thought it might look a little strange if it actually blocked part of the light. Probably should be worried about the function of the brake light but I'm really thinking just thinking about the look.

chuanger 02-10-2009 11:44 AM

Is this what you mean by "Lorinser type look?" If so, i'm all over that! :thumbsup:

If the a roof is black and the car is WDP, would it be better to get a black or a white roof spoiler?

thank you for the response, Sometimes less is more with a mod like this, I understand the look, I am sure it will look clean, flow with the roof and assume the profile of TL.Please keep us all updated,

thought about this many times, black. :thumbsup: to match the roof, so from the top. looks like an opposite skunk

myron 02-11-2009 07:10 PM

How does this mount? Just the double sided tape like the lip spoiler or what?

aznbo187 02-11-2009 07:13 PM

Yep, double sided tape. You can also use window weld glue, but I doubt people want to do anything permanent to their glass.

Depends on if it comes pre-painted or not. A good paint job at your local body shop will probably add another $100+?

I don't think so. How much paint is needed for a spoiler? A pint? I'm sure max probably $50. Still better than the sarona which is $300 unpainted.

Forgot about the paint..but i dont think its that bad. A spoiler doesnt use that much paind. Lucky for me though, i work in a design shop and i have some friends in the paint dep. that would do it for $20 (i buy the paint ~$50):tomato:
btw...i custom made a Honda emblem for my TL (rear) I post a picture later
