Terrible mod...

That being said, there is a company that sells something similar
Search T-Rex rx8 and look in the body kit section.

That looks like a good way to create drag and negate the effect of the wing. It wrecks the laminar airflow coming from the roof and places it where your wing would be, effectively stalling it. Unless your wing has its own flight level, like the example given.

That's one of the dumbest looking RX-8's I have ever seen.

thebubbadog: why are you starting multiple threads for the same topic?
That's against forum rules.
