Nice first prototype, I like the effort but for my its not thick enough IMO, reminds me of the Turbo Beetle flip up wing.

 

I forgot about this lol Any updated prototype yet?

 

Looks great! Nice job!

 

ill take the prototype if you upgrade hahaha nice job i was gonna try and fit some other roof spoiler but i dont want to drop a decent amount and then i cant custom fit it properly but this is awesome great work^^^^^^

 

very nice, id buy one

 

I'd be VERY interested in getting one of these! I've been wanting a roof spoiler for my 8 since the first day I bought it. I think you should wrap it around the rear window a little more kinda like the ones you see on some 240's. Agreed on making it thicker too.

 

I unfortunately have been way too busy to upgrade my roof spoiler, but the prototype is still on the car and I will now seriously focus on making V2.0!

What other materials do yall think I should use? Lexan is kind of a bitch to work with, and is very hard to bend/shape/mold. So gimme ideas and I'll do my own research as well!

 

Fiber Glass! :D

Heres some pics of what I was thinking on it wrapping more around the window. Dont know if it's actually possible.

 

Im sure it could be done. I just need to learn how to work with and mold fiberglass. Especially to make it hug the window like that.

 

Fiberglass is very easy to work with. I started messing with is a few months ago and feel like I can craft anything together out of it now.

 

Where do you get it from??

 

Nevermind, I found a good source.

Now, what would you guys prefer? Should I paint them or vinyl wrap them? I figure id take a poll and let you guys decide.

 

I also like the first pic. I would buy one. i'd make one if i had extra time! already have too many other "saving money DIY" projects bleh (just a bump for the thread too. Totally subscribing)

 

Definitely paint. I know i'd want mine to be paint matched to my car, cant speak for everyone else though.

There's ALWAYS room for one more project!lol

 

Lol, true. I'm the exception - i'd rather finish cars than take on other random projects and become one of those "i've tried to finish and hate to sell but i need money and less projects" guys i buy my projects from on craigslist. You know the kind
