I'll post pictures of the next trial piece, I'm planning to whip up another couple of variants hopefully next week.

I wouldn't mind doing an adjustable decklid lip spoiler like John has done, but the sloping and crowned trunkline of my car would make things look very akward; I'd have to scoot the hingepoint of the spoiler up to the first peak on the trunk, split the spoiler in the middle to account for the crown (no biggie) and have the turnbuckles anchored at the bottom most portion of the trunk lid. I don't want to run the turnbuckles down between the taillights, then I'd have to do quick disconnect linkage every time I wanted to open the trunk; unfortunately that would provide the turnbuckles with the straightest shot at the spoiler. Running the turnbuckles to the edge of the trunk lid would mean a rather severe angle on the turnbuckles and put them at a disadvantage for leverage on the spoiler itself. Another something to think about...

Yeah, my wing was fairly easy to do since my decklid is mostly flat. It does have a little crown which is why my wing is two pieces.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to make a taller wing to aid more at high speed. The time to do it is now so I can get then both anodized the same color.

I'm with Steve: let's have a look.
