Green Car Congress: Novel Spoiler Design Reduces Fuel Consumption for Minivans, SUVs

The ones that are out there sit too high above the roof line to be functional. I wish i could find one like the one on Subaru forester, its almost perfect!!
I think you should build one

Go fancy, even - get some resistor wire, hook it up to a car battery and cut the cross section out of foam... Do it in a few sections to make it easy, and then glue them together Mounting will be the difficult part - but no more difficult than mounting any other spoiler
