Default New blade style wing prototype

We just finished up our new blade style wing prototype. Our goal was to design a spoiler that flows with the rest of the car and looks like it is going 100 mph standing still. I think we have achieved that. Let me know what you think.

Nicely done, I like the way that looks. Will you be offering it in body colors or just black?

I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of this spoiler.

IMO it just doesn't go with the lines of the car.

It would look better as a completely flat blade or angled to go with the seam of the rear fascia.

Definetly different! Wish I could see it in person.
Pete I noticed RPI posted a pic. of your car offering up your prior spoiler.
Is this one replacing the first one?

Default not enough muscle......

IMO, it's too raked back and looks like an afterthought add on.

Looks pretty good. Not sure if it looks better than the one offered from GM.

While I agree with your description that this is a "blade" spoiler, but the thin and lay down profile of the spoiler make it look just slightly off from the design of the car.
