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.

Really nicely done, Joe. Looks like oem.

Any effect on cabin wind noise or turbulence? Any effect on fuel mileage?

Joe have you given any thought on payment options ?

Haven't noticed a difference in either, mind you I've only driven a couple of hundred miles with it on.

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.

I'm a little surprised that only five have signed up so far, with all the positive feedback I would have thought we could easily get 15 - 20 sold. Oh well there is still time. Joe thanks for doing these .

Bumping this up from page two........come on guys who else is in ?

I like it a lot but at 450 it is a little out of my budget as I make my own CF and FG parts and a couple of companies I consult for, but the shape is great indeed

Add me to the list. Hopefully more will sign up this next week.
