Verus Engineering Carbon Duck Tail Spoiler Thread
This is a product we have been working on for quite a few months, I think we actually started it late last year. We wanted to design a very aesthetically pleasing spoiler that functioned by itself, as well as with our rear wing to boost downforce in the rear even further. We are working on a group buy right now, please contact Sales@Verus-Engineering.com if you are interested.
Construction: -The carbon mold was made from billet aluminum off our CAD -2x2 Twill 1.5mm Thick Pre-Preg Carbon -Two-piece design bonded together -Matte and Gloss Clear Coat (UV resistant) Performance: The rear spoiler improves the efficiency of the entire vehicle significantly and increases rear downforce as well. Fitment: -Covers 13-16 BRZ Rear Spoiler Holes -Covers 13-16 FRS Rear Spoiler Holes -17+ Spoiler holes are not fully covered (see photo below) -We are looking into the cost of modifying the mold, please contact us if you are interested in 17+ fitment so we can gauge interest. Photos On Car w/ both Matte and Gloss Finish: Pricing: $579.95, please contact us for initial release group buy pricing! Sales@Verus-Engineering.com Thanks, Eric Last edited by VerusEric; 05-07-2019 at 04:18 PM. |

I WILL BUY this product if the option to cover holes from 17+ spoiler becomes available.
Just a little nudge... if this option becomes available, pretty sure it would be the only ducktail spoiler to cover holes from the 17+ model on the market! Email sent.

Would love to see more flow/drag, fluid dynamics images of the car with stock components and or higher/wider duckbills. How does your duckbill work with and/or compliment things such as (roof) vortex generators and rear diffusers? Fluid dynamics, air management, and drag coefficients are cool stuff.

Hows the CFD performance compared to the OEM BRZ spoiler with a wickerbill?

Verus Engineering Carbon Duck Tail Spoiler Thread
How is it mounted? Fasteners or tape only?
I too would like to see how it compares to the OEM spoiler. Any paint matched pictures? |

So you want me to believe that a duckbill produces 100% more downforce than a gt250 wing and at the same time produces 400% more drag than a gt250 wing? Might want to check your CFD settings or throw this thing away.

Could you post CFD data for a stock car vs a car with this duckbill? The data you've posted seems like it might be with the rest of your aero parts including the wing, but I'm debating adding this to an otherwise stock car, and that data would be useful for many of us I think.

It literally says duckbill spoiler and the pics/cfd images all only show the duckbill. But let’s go with what you said. The gt250 wing would be far superior than their entire aero package. Which fail are you going with?

The FR-S/BRZ does not need vortex generators as the flow stays attached to the roof due to the shape of the car. Vortex generators work more on sedan type shapes to keep flow attached to the more dramatic ramp down of the rear glass on those body styles. The ducktail would improve/compliment rear diffuser function. Quote:

We do not have any paint matched photos currently. Quote:
That being said, from our experience in both CFD and wind tunnel testing, our high-efficiency rear wing does produce more downforce than the APR GT250. Quote:
Let us know if you have any other questions . I apologize for the confusion but we remade the graphs to hopefully clear up the questions. |

Based on your own numbers, your entire aero kit produces less downforce than just a gt250 wing while producing an insane amount more drag.... didn’t a guy in 86cup Colorado go a full second slower at high plains with all your aero vs no aero at all? I couldn’t believe it but based on how much drag your parts create vs the downforce, I completely understand now. |

If you could please let me know who this person is or was; I'd greatly appreciate it. We have had the vast majority of our customers report back quicker and quicker times utilizing our parts. I have not heard anything from an 86 Cup guy in Colorado going slower beside this post here. |
