That is very cool.... How much did it cost for you to make one?

It is adjustable so i'll take a few in different positions & further away.

The adjusters in ths position are just for support (although it woud rest in this setting) I probably have about 20 deg more vertical that it could go.

I did have to get a 36 x 12 sheet of double sided finished CF made.

I have played with fiberglass but not CF, it is very hard to get a good finished sheet of CF unless you have VAC capabilities.

That cost me $98 ( I have a lot of left over for "stuff")

The adjusters are the same ones that the M7 CF splitter uses, they cost me $24.
(I found some reall close looking for marine use)

A few "nutserts" and some screws $5

And door edgeing from the local parts store $5

The expensive thing was the beer involved in planning and getting the nerve to start drilling !

I hade another version made out of cardboard while planning that had a flat back end and side winglets ... it was just to much for me

This follows the lines of the stocker and is 3" extended.

I think you could probably sell several of those if you wanted to make more. It looks really good. Nice work!

agreed. if anyone wanted to make one, i'd definitely think about buying one? what about making a version that is compatible with the aero spoiler? seeing as how that one is supposedly a little more aerodynamically useful. with a set of good directions i think it'd sell well.
