2017+ OEM spoiler gurney flap options
 
I have my OEM spoiler on Drambeenie risers, which helped the look a lot, but I think it still needs a lil sumthin sumthin before it looks right.

I'm aware of the Maxton Designs V1 and V2 stick-on things, which aren't bad, but I'm not 100% sold on them. Something about the way the leading edge of the gurney doesn't blend into the spoiler at all bothers me. Looks cheap. Maybe it's not as bad in person, but I can't find many photos.

I also ran across the Max Orido version, but it looks like a piece of tacked-on angle iron, to me. Probably functional, but not great aesthetics.

Are there any other options I should consider?

I tried doing some searching on this along time ago for a while, and what you have found is all I could come up with as well. It seems that no one is interested in making anything more than what you currently see. I, too, love the look of a nice gurney wing like the C7 has. Wish there was something like that, that flowed well with the twins. But That might just be the problem... nothing flows as well with the curves. Or not enough people are interested in one, so no one is making them (probably the more likely cause). Even with those that you've found, I have yet to see anyone with them on.

Hi,

Using two used STI gurney flaps, I got this.

Oh that's quite nice! Any photos from a side angle?

"tacked-on angle iron"? Huh? It is literally a silicon/rubber/whatever flap piece that you stick along the back edge of the spoiler, like any other soft gurney flap.

Yeah I get that, I think it's just the breaks in it around the spoiler attach points make it look kinda lazily designed, if that makes sense.
