I can't leave well enough alone. It's 66" wide, 52" from the ground to the top. I cut some masonite supports which will be 1/8" aluminum, and used a piece of cardboard for an end plate. I haven't decided on end plate material, could be CF, FG, lexan, aluminum, whatever.

Mike, that's cool. Have you tried it at speed yet? How it work? Tried it just this last weekend as a matter of fact. My PCA region ran a DE/autocross at The Streets of Willow Springs. The wing worked really well. My car doesn't have a bunch of front downforce (Yet, I'm working on a splitter), just an "IMSA" style airdam, so I used a suspension set up that was a bit tail happy and used the wing to plant the rear in the fast stuff. It really worked great. The initial suspension set up was a bit too loose and I was having trouble getting the power down in the slower sections (Though the fast bits were fine) so I stiffened the front bar just a bit and it really came together. A couple of the fast sweepers that were a throttle dance last time I ran there were flat with the wing. You could really feel it stick. I'm gonna keep it...
