Went with the taper, I laid up up last night, you can see it start to take shape. Still needs a lot of work though.

So this is the basic shape, it's only a layer thick on each side, so it needs a few more layers and then filling and sanding but I think I'm done with it. I pictured it looking cooler in my head. I think it would look cool, but it blocks sight of the factory lip, which is cleaner IMO.

I post pics of a custom spoiler and no one responds, but when I post a thread about queers everyone jumps on it. Did I mention that this spoiler was an advocate for gay marriage?

That's it I'm fu*king pissed. That spoiler needs to stay in the closet where it belongs! It's probably trying to convert all the other nice little spoilers into a life of perversion.

In all seriousness, I can't wait to see this thing done. I wish we had real resources so we could have done some wind tunnel before and after testing. It's obviously going to create more down force, but I wonder if its going to make the steering go light at high speed. BTW, you can't use the View meter as indication of how many views your thread has gotten, it's not working correctly.

I'm debating finishing it and primering it. I sincerely doubt that I'll put it on but I think it was a unique idea for the 80-82 crowd.

Oh, I thought it was a done deal.

No no, it blocks sight of the factory lip. I think it's cooler than the pace car spoiler, but the 82 lip is cleaner IMO. I might finish it just to have it, if time permits, but it's not going on the car. Just not in love with it enough to put mounting holes in the bumper.

It looked better in the cardboard cutout you made. The cardboard was rounded on the edge just like the body line and it didn't have sides.
