Flat spoiler build 3
Unlike some of you, I am still looking for the template out beyond the rear bumper. I also wanted endplates because I suspect they help with vortices off the end of the car. Below you can see a photo of the new effort as well as a profile photo template of how it compared to plan yesterday. Before building the endplates, I reduced the angle to the red line below, extending it also by two inches. This build extends 15 inches off the trunklid, probaly 11-12 inches behind the bumper.
EDIT: the wrong template image uploaded, but basically the new spoiler just about meets the red line in the image--length and angle.
