Maybe too little too late, but I just saw this today at BigNW.

From what they're telling me they're still messing with the prototype and should have it available around Winter...

EDIT: Note, I realize now I should have taken more photos. I can say they removed the middle piece and now it's just the two end pieces holding it up...

That height difference looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to see the revisions so it sits flush and all of that.

Cool, thanks for showing me this! Not sure id ever have designed it like that given that I like an OEM stock look. This very clearly looks aftermarket. I'm curious how they attached the piece to the top of the riser though.

With those looks, that Perrin piece won't be any competition for you.

This looks awful IMO.

The reason I like the spoiler's design is because it looks relatively simple/minimalistic.

Slapping what looks like an extension with an extra wide branded base just completely loses it for me.

In yaw, the Perrin design will block under airfoil flow, as well as above

I wonder why you guys care about impact on aero, if it's stock mount position that is probably actually airtunnel tested, and you are planning to do OP's mod that is 1:1 same as Perrin's with untested (not even computer simulated) impact to drag/downforce (hopefully not for worse) mostly for looks only?

Why would it be hard to understand if someone is concerned about the impact to aero?

churchx · 08-20-2017, 04:08 PM

It's stock position/height/angle that is tested and designed by purpose, but you are willing to choose something that might aswell result in worse drag/downforce vs stock position? Then it seems a bit inconsistent to care about other minor aero details for mod. If looks are prioritised, one should just go with whichever looks better to his taste.

Seriously, you couldn't pay me to put that Perrin piece on my car. It's just.... fucking awful. They should be embarrassed by that.

HSUBLU · 08-20-2017, 04:31 PM

I feel like I may have done it some disservice with only one shot at a particular angle. I personally thought it looked pretty good. But there's no accounting for taste.

It just looks like a tacked on afterthought is the problem.

It looked great to me when I was looking at it in person...

In my industry, aero is king. If I can see obvious aero concerns, it won't earn my dollars. If they can show me data, to prove otherwise, that would change my view...then again, I own a 2013, so it won't fit my car anyway.
