Joe,
I am also interested in one. Looks like you have the makings of another group buy with the recent interest. Any chances of doing one? In any case please PM me price/shipping to Utah.

Looks great.

Group buy #2?

Just wondering if there's enough current interest in the small ducktails to justify another round?

Thanks - DM

Got mine today. If your thinking about getting one don't worry about the quality. Very well made and fits perfectly.

I got my ducktail spoiler painted and installed about a month ago,,, couldn't be happier with it. Body shop was impressed with the quality, and I installed it myself (be sure you have it positioned perfectly before 2x tape sticks). It matches perfectly with AerokitII and other body mods.
Highly recommend this spoiler!

Here is the latest piece to my aero kit. It took a while with moving and a lot of orders this spring but finally managed to get my side intake scoop mold completed and making production pieces. Not having access or the funds to a wind tunnel with dyno I did a simple test to see if there was anything noticeable/measureable with the scoop. I drove the same stretch of highway in both directions 164 Km (82KM each way) once with the scoop on and then without the scoop. This was done late at night so the ambient air temperature would remain fairly constant. Cruise control was set at 115KPH to eliminate my right foot from the equation. I filled the tank three times at the same gas station about 200 yards off the freeway. The one variable is how different the fills might have been, I was careful in trying to keep them the same.
I used 1.2 liters less fuel for the 164Km drive with the scoop on. This translates to fuel mileage of 33.89mpg as opposed to 31.1mpg with no scoop. This is a 9% increase. My gas fills I’m sure were not bang on exact but certainly didn’t vary by 1.2 liters.
To my simple mind I conclude if the car is doing the same amount of work with less fuel it is making more power…..please correct me if you disagree.

There are more pictures on my Facebook page "Joe Toth Composites"

I'm shooting you an e-mail
