Default New Roof Spoiler

New Roof Spoiler

This is something else I have been working on.

Made of urethane plastic. Painted to match any color. Mounts easily using 3M adhesive (I will provide)

Price is $150 plus shipping

NOW READY FOR PURCHASE!


Any questions just ask and feel free to voice your opinion on the design

And dont worry it doesn't cover the third brake light

Here is where I am at so far..



Here are a few photoshop mock-ups:
This will be the one produced



I will also be producing this one

I'm torn....

I like it, because it's something new and different. And when you've been starving for years, a rubber burger has appeal.

I don't like it, because it has no flow with any other part of the car, and reminds me too much of the Mitsubishi Evo X.

The side strake revision you posted was excellent because it borrowed from fellow MB heritage, and nestled in neatly enough to look OEM...

This, however, does not...

Agreed...................I'm partial to the Startech spoiler, with the single center spine. Wonder if that could be duplicated?

I don't care for it much either. If you can duplicate this, they'll sell like crazy:

I too am torn. It's different. Kinda japanese looking but not ricey at all. I agree it would look better on an Evo, but it does flow well with the overal design of a crossfire. I would buy it.

I photoshoped a few different renditions..

another one took the lines of the hood with the center spine.

and another was just like the one in the pic posted but with the center spine from the roof.

I didnt like either of those. The only other thing I am thinking is just a smooth one. No fins or ridges. Maybe with a small lip on the end of it. Ill try to photoshop something like that and get it up here tonight

I like the idea, but I also honestly would go for the Startech wing first. I saw it on Tazz's car and it looks amazing and actually does something

Ive decided to produce the one with the center spine on it.

It will have a small lip on the end of it.

Looks cool from the outside.. But from the drivers seat looking into the rear view mirror Im sure that center area would be pretty blurry.

I have ALWAYS thought that would be a neat add-on... but never thought anyone would produce it.
