Re: What do you think of my new wing?

Looking at the JDM wing, I don't believe it would be the best start for a prototype copy, overlapping the sides of the trunk lid is kinda ugly to me compared to the molded look of the prototype. I think the US stock wing will do so much better. From the moment I got the car, I thought Subaru mounted the wing in the wrong place, so I am fixing that and also molding it into the trunk lid to flow more like the prototype. Remember, this is not a copy, it is just inspired by the prototype, I took some liberties and am making it look good to me.

This is just the start, it will flow so much nicer once the glass work starts:
Elliot, you should raise that wing a little bit from the back, the upper panel of the wing slopes downwards from the back. If you raise it by half an inch, it will look better and be positively functional.

Take it from a fellow fiberglasser
