I like the direction of this design, but its a little too rounded of a duck tail for the FRS design (looks like it would be more at home on the rear end of a IV gen Supra) - the FRS is a more angular design and needs the duck tail more inline with its shape; a little more squared out and leveled. The FRS definitely needs a ducktail type spoiler lip added to the trunk lid to balance out the shape, but I've yet to see one I like; this one being really close to what I want though (but the lip is too rounded). The major issue I have is everything I've seen looks tacked on and doesn't flow well enough with the car at all angles of view - usually there's only one angle that looks great the rest are meh. I want a seamless like factory body panel appearance, which most likely means trunk replacement/custom spoiler graphing....I don't care about weight, as long as it's not much heavier than stock at the worst - just need something that gets rid of the rounded, ugly, 350Z like trunk butt line for something more in character with the car that's beautiful from EVERY angle.

Is that too difficult to ask for?

That front lip looks much better

^ I said that about the spoiler too. @DF-Aero can you do to the spoiler what you did with the lip?(just pull it back a little, keep the curve just a smaller one)

That's fine. Try much different style to get it right way!

Then, I would recommend get that front lip middle part shaved more. It comes out way too much and makes the car looks a bit weird in my view... or maybe it's not my style?

Is that too difficult to ask for?
Hi i understand your point of view! But i guess you are asking abit over the edge! To mix all of those criterias you have here into one single design is almost impossible. There are several more "boxy" stlye ducktails out there already, So we want to go towards a more agressive look and it do follow every line of the car, Only line it breaks is from stright top, But that is needed for making a ducktail stand out. We will go on with the wing ino prototyping early January and we will see how it looks on the car.

As for lip and fenders thats something we are looking into after we feel the wing is a go. There are alot of meetings waiting in January with various companies and need to wait a while to show you the final one.

I will buy these fenders when they are available, if they come out similar to where you have them right now.

Is a render of over fenders possible? I don't know about others, but I think they would look good.
