I want a small ducktail to mount on the OEM spoiler !

Awesome! I look forward to seeing the painted final. Your ability is amazing.

Wow nice ......Yes that's it getting there the hard part is gentlely softening the side profile edges as well so it all looks cohesive...and trailing edge tangent to side edge relief....so no nubs are present in the final. Yes spacing with boot lid and tail light contours will make all the difference

Very nice work....not sure how you are managing this by hand? You could easily give up your day job and start shaping custom surf boards for a living!!

I would think you would have to scan it and final shape in an SM package then CNC or print for a symmetrical end product???

Anyway looks great!

Hello everybody

I have just put a couple of photos on to show the line I followed for the spoiler.

No SM package or CNC here, all hand crafted by myself.

Gotcha. Didn't realize you had been using the stock spoiler as a guide.

After studying the pics I'm torn between the flat side vs. rounded. The flat side to my eye looks finished and transitions well from the " fat " side to the thinner trailing edge. The rounded looks good but the transition from fat side to thin trailing edge is just a little off. Maybe it's just me and maybe some of that would go away with paint color vs. primer. Also I think the flat side carries out the angle of the OEM spoiler top better than the rounded. Or I could be full of crap . I would have no problem installing either one on my car and will continue to follow this thread.

I think the same thing. Maybe pics from further back will help?

Derfo it's quite possible that all of our feedback may muddy the waters on what you will ultimately build. We all have an opinion and you can't custom build each one unless that's what you want to do. The more I think about it for you it might be easier to build your mold to the flat side pattern. If there is maybe some extra glass in that area of your layup the end user can customize as they seem fit. My guess is most of us will have a pro install these so end user finish to taste will be possible. I can sand/glass a completed part no problem but I don't have the skill set to build it from scratch. The way I look at it get me 95 % of the way there I'll take it from there. As long as it fits the top blade well that is probably the hardest part. I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other as I have said I can live with either. But if you listen to all of us you'll end up with 25 molds
