Custom Spoiler making!
Just figured I would make a little post showing some behind the scenes photos. Ben started on this yesterday. We put in several hours of work (well mainly Ben although Jason, Deborah and I took turns helping out and offering our unprofessional opinions) on it yesterday. Remember work in progressThe foam on the underside will be gone. It was just there for sanding. More to come.

Not too shabby, man. I like the way it's looking.
Reminds me of another car on here in the same position. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
I like the creativity

i like the looks of it!
cant wait to see the finished product
Ben hopes to get it done by Tuesday. Then painted sometime soon.
---Mike
looks good so far can't wait to see the finish product.

isn't this pretty similar to the WRX wing? I mean it looks good, I just thought it was already available.
wowsers, you guys look like you know what your doing!
I would have already glued myself together with fiberglass to whoever was unfortunate enough to help me with something like that
Not really like the wrx wing...I mean the wrx wing is lower like this rather than 15 inches tall like the Sti, but that is about as close as the two get.
---Mike
You're bold to do this, but i'm in to see how it's gonna turn out
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
Oh, I would not attempt it. I may be able to picture it in my mind and give thoughts on how I want it to look, but I am just not that good with glass....which is why Ben is doing the lions share of the work, lol.
---Mike
Getting close to completion. Hopefully by this weekend.
---Mike
looks like it will be pretty nice on the car. definitely post pictures when its done.
soo.... do you guys still drive the car with the spoiler half done? lol. I mean, its a perfectly good STI, I'd hate to see it sit in a garage waiting for a spoiler..Originally Posted by crashtke
Awesome! Props for doing it yourself! And it's looking great, cant wait so see the finished product...

Car is down for port and polishing the heads, multi-angle valve job, +1mm valves, and new cams as well as an engine refresh. So we have some time
---Mike
Props for having the balls to try this. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed!
I have seen a couple additional pics and it is coming along great! Ben just does not want anything more posted up until it is perfect. At the minimum he wants it in primer before more pics go up.

nice i love messing with fiberglass

Not my favorite, but everyone has their own thing!

Update?
Yeah, i love this shit, wheres the update?!
Got a MINI?Don't talk to me.
FUCK your FADS
Coming along nicely...new pic is up. Still not done, but getting closer.
---Mike
Niiice. They should make that OEM, but with paint on it
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
Haha, yeah this one most likely will not get a pretty finished coat. It is for making a mold from to produce light weight ones.
---Mike
Nice work!

I can't wait to see the finished product. Then he is going to start on mine!
---Mike
Some new pics. Just laid on there for photos. Still yet more sanding and finishing work to be done.
---Mike
New hard core drag spoiler started! Get some pics of that up once there is something worth posting.
---Mike
ill wait till its finished to post up my opinion. i dont like it so far but it could easily change!
Props for custom work
Basic shape is not going to change. I think he is just planning to smooth everything out once the shaping is done.
---Mike
whats the purpose of it?
Lower profile and reduced drag while retaining some downforce.
