Roof spoiler / wing

[hiiammarcin]

Does anyone have any roof spoiler (MMD, MP etc.) pictures on their GT350 they could share?

I hate to see a man's simple request get over 100 views and not get even one photo of a roof spoiler/wing.

I didn't want to spend the money on a carbon fiber roof spoiler/wing wing due to the cost.
I'm a hobby wood worker and I figured this is still do-able.
Hear me out now... the vertical supports are spherical industrial cardboard to handle the aerodynamic wind load which will apply torque to the base of the supports.
The modulus of elasticity/poisons ratio/radius of gyration were all taken from Roark's handbook for the structural calculations. Mohr's circle calculations even verified the principle stresses.
The wing is laminated hard maple, but only 13/64" thick... not yet competing with carbon fiber for strength to weight ratio, but dollar per board foot ratio, I have this race dominated!
I'm not yet equipped to make these jaw dropping wings for others, since I have not yet road tested this engineering cost-saving marvel at the Shelby's top speed.
These can be stained OR painted... think of the possibilities!
This is the selling point if I go commercial... cost: $12.38.

About spit coffee all over my keyboard.

OK, I was hoping for a real picture of a roof wing so I knew what he was talking about....

I smell a group buy in the future!

Funny this was posted yesterday. Great minds must think alike.

Thanks! Now, I know for sure I do not want one...

Can’t decide if I like this...the rear window is so big that actually it might work nicely after it’s painted. At the same time, the entire roof line does look slick without anything there.

You have basic gt so I’m not even sure why you’re here. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Does your wife know you stole her ironing board?

Well, congratulations, you just earned the AH of the day award. And by the way it’s not a basic GT, you snob, it’s a California Special.

How does this silly part effect air flow across the back of the car and the car's deck spoiler? People put these lick'm stick'm parts on their cars with no regard to the aerodynamic engineering of the car.

Good question. Let me come over so we can use your wind tunnel to get some realistic numbers.

It's just my opinion. Knock yourself out with the lick'em stick'em parts. I won't be disrespecting my R with any of that garbage.
