Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback! I raised it up to 4 7/8" of ground clearance.

Laid down a handful of layers of drywall mud to get the shape.

More mudding and I built an inner structure inside the spoiler so it perfectly holds it shape when removed from the car. If it moves at all, the mold will be junk.

Took a step back and fixed a bad angle where the fenders meet the spoiler, well worth the effort... much smoother line now.

Final sweep with body filler and drywall mud. I like drywall mud for making plugs in some cases; it's cheap, sands super easy, allows easy shaping of complex curves and for sure it's the only way to go when using balsa as they sand very similarly.

A handful of heavy layers of filler primer rolled on, final blocking is next. And then onto making the mold.
