Default Thinking of extending spoiler one day.

So I had the idea of attaching little wings on each side of the auto-spoiler. They would wrap around the current body until the spoiler is deployed. Obviously the edges of the spoiler will have to be raised. Not sure how much extra down force I would get but I think it would still be pretty awesome. I am going to have to figure out how to connect them to the original spoiler and be strong enough to take the wind but I was just curious about your guy's thoughts on this.

Why not just mount this one on the existing spoiler. It should be AWSOME & everyone will check out your car .... & laugh. The whole idea of the existing spoiler is that it does the job it was designed for. Keep it simple.

yeah sort of. It just wouldn't be that fancy lol. The extra bits that would be added onto the spoiler would sit flush with the body, not touching it but close.

Haha, not trying to make it gaudy. Just think it would be kinda sweet, and different. Also planning on having whitewalls =D

Remove your oe wing and mount this with proper spacers. Having a black NA is a bonus. That would be cool to see it deploy!

I'm thinking Daisy Duke would be most impressed with that spoiler.
That and a fart can would really set the car of.

I really don't think Daisy would give a crap about it.

At 61, she's probably more than a little fizzed off that her old show has been taken off the air thanks to the outrage over the confederate flag on the Charger.
Sorry Catherine, (and the Duke Brothers) no more residual payments.

I'm thinking that before you start modifying anything you should contact Eric Stoddard to solicit his opinion . . .

I don't know about fabricating a spoiler but I do know where to get "Fart in a can"

Fart can exhaust, Pep Boy seats, fuzzy dice all available at before-mentioned Pep Boys. Maybe one of those rice-racer tower spoilers? I knew this day would come, when our decade-old cars were cheap enough that young pups would take liberties with their classic beauty. But not mine -- stock forever.
