Trunk with pop up wing

Edit: inb4 all the flame and rant why this doesn't look good, it's about the idea of such a wing, not this one in particular NOR the body kit !
Edit 2 : Changed the picture for obvious reasons :p thanks jshadeck !


We need a company that can bring this into our lives. Maybe a bit wider and/or higher, but I totally love the idea.

If only I had the proper skills and knowledge to manufacture something like this

Your thoughts?

The best i can say from this pic, is it goes w that car just fine. Id have to see a stock frs designed one to say if id ever want it myself, and only if it was 100% functional

Talk about a wana be Audi R8.... honestly, why add all that unnecessary weight of actuators and sensors and what have you instead of just installing a nice, lightweight, functional spoiler?

On another note, im really tired of people and shops developing body kits that make the car look like another. Its an FR-S/BRZ, its not a v10, its not twin turbo, its not a supercar, its not awd, please just quit with all this nonsense... It comes off as a large pot of rice..

Mebbe a system to take the current BRZ limited spoiler and raise it at speed would be cool... functional? I have no clue..

The active spoiler was made FOR that car... idk how you would plan on someone making a functional rising spoiler... to me, its pointless... your not going to see excess speeds where your brakes wouldn't be sufficient enough to stop... I just see no point in this thought. sorry. But i guess im just a person who would rather have something that was needed than just to look "cool" aka ricey.

Wait, I don't get it. So it's like a little lid? You can push it down on the trunk to close it? Or keep it up like a spoiler? What's the point? And a functioning one would be pretty pricey too.

Trunk with pop up wing

For those who dont understand what the purpose of the design is, they are designed to tuck away below a certain mph (usually below 60 or so) as all a spoiler does at those speeds is cause drag and slow u down. But above x mph it raises (some adjust more so as speed increases) to provide downforce to counter act the natural rear end lift most street cars are prone to.

Edit: as seen on porsches, mclarens, bugattis to name a few

FYI, that car a project car for some school or something like that. So don't think that you guys might be able to get the kit. It's a one-off.

I like how the trunk is some-what flush with the tail lights. Or am I just seeing things?
