Civic Hatchback "Wing". Thoughts?

Old pic

Its a smidge higher now with the support struts (included).

Fly fine btw. catches a tail wind well. Can't comment on mpg, because I don't do ABA tests, just A-BCD due to the lumpy schedule of free time.

NICE!! Thanks for the photo! I really like the look of your car! It's a tough looking eco-car!


(I like all three cars! Looks like the white one has the wing as well.)

If you bought fiberglass roving & matting + a liter or 2 of fiberglass resin you could make a improved version of it.

I would use a one sided waxed mold identical to the car, to shape on to help keep it accurate.

Could cost $75 bucks for material & some touch up ,color match paint.

For some reason when I try to build things instead of buying them I end up paying twice as much, taking longer then what I thought and it never really comes out right. Although, there is that satisfaction of DIY!!!

No worries! I just want to make sure it isn't for looks!
