Congrats on the new best!!! Would love to see you do a pro-stock style spoiler on the back of the escort
That rule is correct! I will probably still use my trusty black duct tape around the cracks I've become fond of the way it looks on the car lol.

Thanks spif!

The style spoiler is going to be a mashup of these two -

I did an aerodynamic overlay in the thread 'Ground Clearance vs Aerodynamic Drag'. The fusion's spoiler was spot on... so I thought at first. I will be post there shortly to challenge my 1st findings.

Edit: Compared several pictures of the Bonneville Fusion. It is very close to having reattached flow. No post needed.

I have a crazy design in mind, spif stay tuned for it!
