Thanks! I especially liked how the internal cross bracing on this model will also increase air resistance and put even more force on the supports. Obviously the designer of this model went to one of the finer engineering schools to come up with such a radical design. A was concerned about fitting my car into my enclosed trailer with this wing until I noticed how the wing side supports appear to be capable of rolling up so I assume the wing could be lowered without sustaining any permanent damage. They thought of everything!

The builder of that is certainly in the know. Notice the genuine coffee can on the exhaust?

An old ironing board at full extension, held down with drywall screws and fender washers will give you 18 degress of rear downforce IPB Image
