For those who like the look, I have ordered some material to make a 3M stick on version so the bottom heat shields don't require removal. Screw backup will be included.
The fiberglass version on my car now has just come from a 130 mph drive in Mexico and showed no adverse effects on the cars stability. For those who will ask, the whole job from raw materials to finish and on car took 3 hours.
The 3M stick on version, should take a whole 10 minutes to install. Should the tape give way at 160 mph, the only thing behind you will be Camero's, Mustang GT's and Vette's, so who cares.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
I guess it is only me who doesnt like it. I think without it, the car looks much nicer. Small add ons like this reminds me those ricers / mexicans who stick anything autozone sells to their cars.
However, it appears there is quite a bit interest so why not produce it.
Props to you on trying to design stuff for our cars though.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
I think it looks pretty cool, adds a little something to the rear of the car. I would love a proper SRT6 style fixed wing like JHM2K and a few other forum members, but from what I gather, these are near impossible to get hold of these days. I've seen a whole tailgate assembly with a fixed wing on ebay going for $1500!

Re: New Spoiler Cap
To the original poster, when you steal pics of my car and pass them off as your own Photoshop mockup, you're headed into Dan Root territory. That's my car with the Startech wing you just extended upward.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
Feel free to use it, just give credit where due. I'm not looking for anything, its just funny because every time someone does a custom spoiler thread, my car always ends up as the "Hey I just did this in photoshop"
LOL
Make something nice and tasteful.
