Nice job! But you should consider the trunk spoiler lip as well. Now I feel like rally!

well...since u asked! w/o the rear spoiler there is more wind resistance. the wind violently flows over the car then to reach the back of the cabin. the downward slope of the rear window sends that raging air onto the trunk, which in turn puts force on to the car creating wind resistance....how does wind resistance hurt the car? MPG!

w/ the spoiler...the wind flows violently over the car just as before ,but the lip of the spoiler just before the declining slope of the rear window flips the air up then down making a swirling motion, this tornado greats a spinning vortex of doom which helps create a smooth ride for the wind all the way down the length of the car...therefore creating less wind resistance and giving us more MPG!! woot!

this is the same for pickup trucks...u have better MPG if u have the tailgate up

blue = raging wind
red = spinning vortex of doom

having this on the car does it interfere with the rear boot spoiler?

it's not cheap considering only such a small piece of cf part. you need more cf parts to match that roof spoiler. i might consider this mod after my cf trunk arrived.

more pics pls..

i think the Amemiya boys should of created something a bit better like on the Fd.
the one on the Fd is the sweetest rear spoiler. this one is okay but way to small to even for the eye to notice
but u have jdm

it won't change the MPG in any way, a trunk spoiler (small) will have a somewhat effect, but this is merely looks in terms of air flow

i dont think it makes much of a differnece in look but i think some more CF and different wheel colors will make it a good detail piece

I'm not feeling that at all, especially at that price.

I'd rather spend that money on a set of MS brake pads,
