A Different "Kind" of Spoiler/Wing...

Hey guys I found this long ago, but lost it and came across them again. I might be flamed for putting this up here, but thought, Hey maybe someone likes em'. So here they are...
For some odd reason I like them, but at the same time I hate them, so I just thought I would put it up to see who likes em' and who doesn't.
I am going with a Wyvern Tail, so this is not my "poll" before buying...

There you guys go. Lets see what you all think...


Also, I know these are for a Focus, but hey there is a lot of custom apps out there...

Yeah, I know, but the industrial part about it is what I like. The end plates I don't, but it does come with an extra set... I would like to see someone photoshop this wing on a mini to see what it would actually look like...Any takers?

Interesting choice. Not what I would go with but it's not my Mini. Be curious to see how it works out. http://www.aprperformance.com/ has the wing elements that you could graft that mounting too. Might want to construct something equally outrageous for the lower front to keep the visual balance.

BTW, you ever start on the pillar I sent you?

does it double has a bike rack too? Maybe I could slip a bottle of Wine in the holes on the way home from the store to chill before getting home.

Some of ya'lls are pretty darn cruel. It might not suit your tastes but there is no reason to kick the guy.

Thanks for having my back Nate, but rarely do I take these opinions as hostilities. I would never put this on my mini either, I was just curious.

Man I cannot wait to send you my $$$, I really don't know if impatience and spending money should be in the same sentence. Any way, COR BLMY, I cannot get enough of your spoiler. Whooee(Dukes of Hazard voice) that wing is darn near perfect if you ask me.

Normally, I agree with this and wouldn't condone bashing someone's project (if we all had the same taste, all MINIs would be built the same way). Having said that though, if someone asks "Let's see what you all think", I can only assume they're asking for honest impressions -- why ask for opinions before embarking on a project if you just expect and want people to say, "hmmm, geee, it's unique, uhmm yeah, go for it, I uhm love it"?

so, my 2 cents is that this wing only works if it comes with the license plate pictured in Trickle X's version.

Wow! That's a car that makes a statement.

I'm not entirely sure what the statement is, but it definitely makes one.

I like those rims. They're three piece forged foil I think.

And I LOVE your wing. That would look amazing paired with the CF splitter (assuming you don't already have it).

I'm a fan of rear spoilers, but not the one linked at the top NOR the Wyvern's tail... But that's just my opinion...

Wow!!!! That spoiler is the most spoiled that I've ever seen. Now what would be real cool is 3 of those mounted on the roof.

Here's what I mean.... I know, I know, I'm a fokker.
