*If you do the 'Template' extension,a spoiler would be unnecessary,as the template generates zero rear lift and has full flow attachment.
*Spoilers must be designed according to :
---- Percentage of roof compared to vehicle length
---- Whether the roof has camber or not
---- Design of the C-pillars
---- Whether the quarter panels are boat-tailed or not
---- The length of the trunk
---- The height of the trunk
---- The angle of the backlight
There is a high probability that what the factory has done is already optimized for all the parameters listed above.
So if i even extended the roof 8in to a foot, would it help any? or should i just go with the flat spoiler how would i know it would be affective?- ps i hate to burst your bubble but its a 1965 dodge dart 4 door, i doubt they optimized the parameters above
