Does anyone know of a successful (aftermarket) implementation of spoiler angle modulation based on vehicle speed? I'd like to think that we could either use OBD data or ABS speed sensor frequency to determine speed. A lookup table would provide the threshold values and outputs. A basic stepper motor control would manage spoiler attack angle.
If you could "pitch out" at low speeds and in eco-mode, then you could install a monster wing without hurting highway mpg. Similar control could be done on active grille shutters or front aero.
Just thinking out loud.

Aeromotions has an active wing.
We are working on a proprietary passive system that works purely on air density and vehicle speed
