Thank you for the kind words about my others bits.

Good luck to ya! If the scoops come out as well as your other work, count me in for a set of those.

Couple of questions.

Are these fiberglass, carbon fiber, or?

What is the chance of rub/wear again to body or trunk?

Speed tested?

Painting options? I see yours is black, did you paint it?

Final thoughts: I like the design a lot, but it seems to more than twice what I was expecting. I'm sure it's worth it, but I'll have to wait.

To answer your questions,
Yes these will be fiberglass. I would like to do CF as well only if I can make the seam lines invisible.
The ducktail lines up like the original spoiler on the car with the same body line clearance. Will not rub.

Speed test....only to 75 MPH freeway driving. With using 3M two sided tape and the original plastic plugs they will not come off. My dive planes and 996 turbo intake scoops have gone 185 MPH on many track/race cars with only tape and no customer has lost one.
They can be painted. Will come out of the mold in shiny black gel coat like you see on mine.

The parts are going to be made in a three piece mold. When they come out of the mold I have seam lines which need to be cleaned up and made invisible. I cannot and will not make or sell these if the only way to make them presentable is to paint (color match) after the fact. These are actually more money than 4 models of my splitters because of the labor required.

I started fooling around with another piece piece for the car while Im waiting for layers to cure on the ducktail mold.
Feedback welcomed as always

Hi Joe. Not bad. Would like to see a pic of this from the straight back point of view. a couple of thoughts - 1. the intake pieces are different (left/right) so the look of your scoops may be different. 2. I have a cold air intake on my car i.e cone filter and no snorkel. as a rule, I don't drive int he rain but do get caught once in a while. I'm always weary of water getting into the filter. It seems that with scoops the water may accumulate on the bottom and get into the filter. Any ideas? may be some drain holes?
Thanks.

Quick update on the ducktail. First section of the mold is complete, starting to lay up the second part of the mold today.

Is the front spoiler also available?

Yes sir it is. I sell those for 400 normally. If you get one with a ducktail I'll do it for 350 plus shipping.

How much ground clearance on the air dam? What is the finish like...black gel? Are they hard to install? Are they installed to existing fastener locations or is more drilling required? I've been looking for something to make the front look a little more aggressive but I'm concerned with scraping.

Just clarifying. Is the 3M tape necessary? How difficult is the spoiler to remove once the tape is applied? I ask because removing the spoiler is an integral part of removing and servicing/repairing the rear bumper cover.

Just make sure you don't use the VHB line/series and you should be fine. VHB stands for Very High Bond. I use it for other industrial application, it is basically permanent. Beware!

Do use one that is waterproof. Can't recommend any (not my product) so hopefully Joe will offer just what you guys need. Often easily removable (slice-able) with a fishing line.

Hi guys, sorry for the delay got a bit busy with orders for some of my other bits. The mold is complete and starting to make parts. Right now I'm in the process of making fixtures to
to assemble the pieces so they all are the same. I hate building snowflakes (everyone is different) one at a time.

The group buy didn't do real well so with your permission may I extend it for a couple of days until my fixtures are made and I'm satisfied all the parts can be made to my standards.

A bit of a price change to the group buy which may get a few more to sign up.

1 - 10 signed up new price $360.00
We already have six so they save 45 dollars. Hope the you guys are OK with saving money if not I will accept the higher amount LOL.

11 and over $306.00

Her's a couple of pictures of the part. The additional piece in the picture of the back side is an insert I am putting in so the ducktail can be taped down to the top of the support.
Sorry I couldn't put this on my car, didn't make it out of the service shop yesterday as planned.


This is where I need the fixture to hold the pieces in the correct position so all the ducktails fit the cars exactly.
