To make it like OEM it's a 6 part mold which makes it expensive. OEM is made from the same brittle plastic used by GM on the lips that kept breaking in shipping.

It may hold 300lbs of DISTRIBUTED weight, but I already broke an OEM one just picking it up wrong -_-

I'm hearing now that the trunks ARE (or are going to be) different. That 2018's have a brace in them now. Considering either selling a brace kit to go with it or just making a stronger and MUCH lighter vacuumed bagged carbon fiber trunk.

You should have also made the shorter prototype version. I think there's a general consensus that people prefer that over the final version of the wing.

That wing never worked on multiple levels, that's why GM scrapped it. Produced no down force in that position and had issues opening the trunks.

Wow, that's a huge bummer.

Can you see out the rear window? It looks like the wing is right in the middle.

Thanks!

These are the same guys selling seats that aren't crash tested... Take caution with something like this.

Do me a favor and check out Sesame Street. It's totally free and you can finally learn how to read as I've told you multiple times are frames are crash tested.

It's pretty thin so it doesn't block much but there wasn't much visibility to begin with so... lol.

Huh? This is the first time I've ever even posted about it. Can we see the reports? If not get bent elsewhere like those seats...

Have you thought about painting/wrapping the end plates red? I think that would look sick!!!

1. I think most people want it for looks, not functionality.
2. How does a shorter spoiler create issues opening the trunk?

The spoiler (top looking down) has such a HUGE curve to it that even as tall as it is, when you open the trunk it comes an inch from hitting the quarter panels.
