Clear on the stock spoiler was peeling off...so I thought it needed a little retooling before new paint.

Just a mock up carved from foam....what do you think? Too much? top will blend better on a final product, bottom blends pretty nicely atm.

Got a more level shot of it? Maybe a shot from farther away. Can't really grasp its entirety from those angles.

I can get a couple different shots, maybe I'll at least PhotoShop the foam gray that could help with the visual. It's super rough state...wanna let it grow on me before fiberglass is applied.

And yeah I really like the sedan spoiler, if it turns out similar in shape id be happy.

I think it looks good close up, but I agree with Kalvin far away shots would be the deciding factor

Why not fill in some of the area between the spoiler and the roof, so it kind of looks like Adams wing, but more subtle

I can see filling that in where it hits the hatch looking good. Might have to mess with the idea some. Heres some more shots.

Yeah, from the bottom view you can really see how much it adds. In my head I'm toying with almost cutting half of it off. But I'm afraid it may not look right if I do.../shrug gonna sleep on it.

I can dig it... definitely unique. I would say keep the form, but just have it not stick out off the back of the car as far.

What he said ^^^^^^^

I think you could pull it off if it was just a bit more subtle.

Looks good, paint that and done, chop nothing off, report back the end result. Nice touch.

Ad some fiberglass otherwise is gonna "fly" away over 60mph. The pressure on that edge is a lot more now . Good idea (vision). :tup:

Nice to see someone walking the walk. I think if you shaved it down just a tad so that it added a bit more than stock, but wasn't so flipped up ...especially towards the center it seems...the lines on the wagon are a bit more strict than the sedan I guess.

Updated a little...was feeling lazy today, but I got it cut down and added a little bondo to smooth the transition. Need to build it up some on one side, but after that its glass.
