I think once Derfo gets one on his car and painted to match it will really show what his approach is all about. When looking at the butt of my car I do NOT want the eye to go directly to the spoiler/duck tail, instead I want the eye to take in the entire landscape. That's why in my original post that started all of this that I wanted a small duck tail. Pleasing to the eye, not intrusive just a minimal enhancement. My car is arctic silver and after installing the duck tail I hope to do two ghost stripes from the front GT3 bumper to the back GT3 TEK diffuser. I think that will look great and help pull everything together to make it all flow. Time will tell if I am correct
That Boxstery-round butt spoiler you see would cost over $1,000 and that assuming 1,000 units would be be pre-sold even before someone thinks production. Not called a ducktail anymore... more like a rip-off lolll I'm sure you've already guessed it was just meant a killing time while we are all impatient waiting for Derfo's spoiler to come out! Fun stuff

I for one may be getting the MKI of his spoiler. I plan to get rid of the tower-looking 747 style wing I currently have on my car and his will be just fine for my taste. Anxious to know if he plans on rounding the corners however. Either ways, for me that's not a huge problem as I have many means to modify that here (either by hands or using a laser cutter, etc).

Cool thread Rick. Hopefully Derfo will start his own thread when ready, hopefully in the DIY section?
