Last week I approached Mikey914 about making a flexible front spoiler similar to the NLA Flexdam. He went to Camp see what I was on about, and noted that it was fiberglass and rubber and asked Morph about making the glass part.
Verdict: it can be done. But, is there interest? This is what we are talking about: (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/images/John1/914_rubber_spoiler.jpg) So. Are we interested in such an item? Cost would likely be in the $110 to $120 range, depending. You would get all the benefits of a really low spoiler, without the worry of killing it on the street every time you approached a speed bump or random twig or driveway. As a car moves swiftly down the road, air does under the body of the car as well as over the top, which produces lift. A low air dam blocks that airflow, and helps keep the car attached to the road at speed. Plus, they look cool. So. Who wants one? |

I think the problem you are already seeing is that you have interest in different versions. Flare, no flare, brake cooling, no brake cooling, oil cooler cutout, no oil cooler cutout.
I for one am looking for GT flare, brake cooling and NO oil cooler cutout. If you can give me that combo, I will buy one. You mentioned earlier that those who want GT flare will need to modify it on their own. To be frank, I probably wouldn't buy this if I am going to have to modify it. Or at least, I may be just as likely to pick a different spoiler as the starting point. Hope this helps you decide on what products you will make! |
