I'd say don't ABA test it until you have the vibrations solved. A premature test would be unnecessarily frustrating. I saw the vibrations you describe in my tests with coroplast too. That too was a reason to quit until I could improve my skills. I want to build fiberglass, though I understand your reluctance. My method to build some skills: finish my mirror delete in fiberglass, then finish the larger lower/upper grill block project, then finish the wheel-well skirts, which I want to make look really good... then maybe I'll be ready for fiberglass side-panels on a lexan-windowed kamm back.
Thanks for the update.

I didn't measure angles. The spoiler is about 6.2-6.5 inches above the rear deck level. That's what I measured on the template drawings I've been using, so I HOPE my build is close to the template target. I admit it's tough measuring this stuff on the car, all surfaces are curved and sloped, and so is my driveway.
Right now I'm too impatient to learn to build in giberflass. Your plan makes sense, more power to you if you pull it off!
I'm temporarily off work and will likely be back working in 1-2 weeks, so my hope is to get something built by then that will get improved mpg over what I was getting before my hiatus began a week ago. Even if I only have a nicely working coroplast version, that would have me better off as far as FE than before the hiatus.
