Duckbill trunk spoiler?

Do you have a pic of one installed on another car model? Since Obviously there is none for the TL yet.

I google'd and found this link

They have a lot of examples in that thread. The one I was aiming for was the silver r-magic they call it.

The R-magic in that link doesn't look bad. Just a bigger lip.

That whats I was thinking as well. The ones on the 240s are a little extreme but the the one on the mazda6 and subi are around the idea I was going for. Kinda like the TL-S lip spoiler just longer.

I wasnt referring to the 240s at all guys. The mustang one is nice. But this is more of the idea I was thinking.

Goosew was just messing with ya. Don't take it personal. You're going to get all kinds of opinions, some good and some bad. But they are being honest. I think most people don't want anything to large. The R-Magic lip, even though larger than the Type-S lip is not bad IMO.

K the first pic of the gray TL looks nice and the one with the carbon fiber wing would look 1000 times better if it was not carbon fiber not my taste as now carbon fiber to me is the new rice.

Um, yeah... I'm not diggin' this style of rear spoiler on a 3G TL. Doesn't flow with the lines of the car for me. The OEM Type-S spoiler is about as big as it gets for my tastes.

to reply to kb1spec. yea something like that just not CF. I like the one on the blue a lil better. But im looking to make something a little longer like the blue but connects to the corners so it flows with the whole car. A lot like the fabulous one I posted a lil up in the thread.

where can you get the ones you posted up?

Please allow me to assist:









Would have looked better molded in, but thats big $$$. I am pleased with my CSL spoiler.
To the OP: As far as I'm concerned, this has already been done!

^^You said that in another thread, too. I can definitely find my car in the parking garage easier!
Different strokes.
I like the way it follows the line of the top of the panels through the trunk lid---the shot from the rear illustrates this. KB1SPEC posted a shot of a CF molded into a KBP trunk (which I believe he has for sale in the BM) that shows the true potential of this design. I'm convinced molding it in is the way to go. More $$$, more $$$.

I agree with this. It follows the lines of the car very well. My design was gonna extend the lines even further but I might get this and have a friend mold it in.

I have a more classic style duckbill on my car. Not as fancy as the Heel Toe one, but also much less expensive. Id post a picture but Im at work and cant access them, but if you look at my pic thread I have info in there.
