New Spoiler Cap
Many of you suggested it.. So heres my design
It will be made of ABS plastic and fit on top of the factory spoiler covering it entirely Price will be $200- includes paint and 3M adhesive Let me know what you think. Production can be just a few weeks away if the interest is there...

Re: New Spoiler Cap
This I like & would buy. Depending on quality & price.:cool:

Re: New Spoiler Cap
As per Racehorse's comments, I'm also in dependant on quality and price. Can you give us an idea on a price? Also will these come painted body colour or in primer?
|
Re: New Spoiler Cap
Looks great! I would buy at a reasonable price.
|
Re: New Spoiler Cap
Depending on quality, price, and more pics (maybe with the spoiler in the up position, different angles,etc) I would be interested.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
It would look great wrapped in CF...
Having said that, I won't be buying, but ONLY because I have the lil flipper's big brother in place... ;) |
Re: New Spoiler Cap
Hmmm ..... I'm definitely NOT an engineer, but I wonder just what the additional down-force would be added to the real spoiler at 65 to 70 mph when the spoiler deploys, and would it contribute to problems of the "real" spoiler at some point. I personally drive an SRT roadster and don't need the effect of a "spoiler", but I just would re-think the notion of sticking on a plastic body part across the back of my classic car just because it might make my car stand-out. If you think about it, you'd only make it "different" in the eyes of another xFire owner! The average person wouldn't notice anything. Just my $.02
With that said ..... I agree that you are one of the few to think about and try to market new items of our xFires and I encourage you to keep up the work. |
Re: New Spoiler Cap
I think that's one of the coolest looking add-ons I've seen for the XFire. Not sure what effect it might have though. It's unlikely any of us has a wind tunnel available for testing. For the right price, I'd consider buying one.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
If I were to estimate a price window.. (and this is just an estimation and not a quoted/ final price) Id have to say about $250 to $300.
Price depends on cost of production. I always try to price my items as low as possible. Once I have a finished master part I can get a quote for production and have a finalized price on these. I dont expect it to be any where out of that price window though |
Re: New Spoiler Cap
Is that painted or unpainted?
|
Re: New Spoiler Cap
I can either have it come painted or have it come primered.

Re: New Spoiler Cap
Please keep us updated as to the development of this and your other projects.
Keep up the good work! |

This new add-on WOULD, however, assist the normal spoiler in disrupting the airflow, especially as speeds climb. Aesthetically, I think it would help immensely as it would add a bit more visual weight to the rear of the car when the spoiler is retracted. If I still had the small spoiler, I'd be all over it. |
Re: New Spoiler Cap
I'm glad your keeping the spine like I did with the hood!

Re: New Spoiler Cap
Looks nice, does it attached with just double sided tape?
I'd buy one. |

I do things on the car that I like and the way I feel it should have come, not because some designer came out with a $300 piece of plastic. HyperLite, I will not be buying this one, but like mentioned above, please continue making parts for the XF, someone has to ;) Also, I strongly recommend becoming a forum sponsor, I KNOW you have been making sales out of this place, and if it weren't for .org you would not be selling these products. Do the right thing and pay the small price it is make yourself legitimate. Many members feel better dealing with someone who handles themeselves professionally and pay vendor fees..... |

Re: New Spoiler Cap
I honestly think that will look stupid with the spoiler up.
I like your roof spoiler much better. The oem spoiler is fine as is |
