It appears to be a useful/practical compromise
cfg83, Bill in Houston, aeromodder, and others. I'm with you. I want to make a short spoiler test. No bike rack mounts for me (too heavy and bulky). Instead, I want to use an idea I saw somewhere on this site: the spoiler could have straps that get closed into the trunk lid, holding the spoiler tightly. I could even have a strap that links-up under the lid. I'll build a prototype. Post pics. Maybe cardboard, maybe coroplast.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
