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? |

So far, the brake cooling could be added as an option. The cooling may be addressed most effectively by splitting the rubber in the center allowing the air to flow better, this is similar to the split you see in the 916 lower section. As far as flaring the edges there is so much variation between steel and fiberglass that we will leave the modification for flares up to the owner.
Thants where it stands right now. |
