Would you buy my photoshopped wing hack???

Update 11-9-2010: This hack was physically DONE and completed a long time ago (as few may remember). More pictures and details are available at [B][U][url]www.HamfistRacing.com[/url] [/U][/B]
[quote=www.HamfistRacing.com]
Long before I realized a 1:25 scale diecast replica STi wing would meet the rule requirements for SCCA Solo class STU, I envisioned and created a one off custom spoiler for the Subaru STi. The spoiler was sleek, subdued, OE looking and best of all it bolts directly to an OEM STi trunk covering all 17 existing holes punched out by the OEM whale wing. The reason I never ran this wing extensively was because a wingless trunk was that much more subdued (read sleeper) and lighter! For SCCA classing purposes, doubleside-taping the tiny replica wing at the race kept the rule-nazis quiet. I thought I would share my original custom spoiler with the rest of you here. Enjoy.[/quote]

[quote=S1MPSONS original post]
I am on the verge of attempting a serious STi wing hack. What do you all think? I know another member on NASIOC did something similar. The difference here will be that I will not be leaving any of the sides of the wing hanging off the trunk (over the rear quarter panels).
Please refrain from comments like: "Why don't you just buy limited wing, mines, etc..?"
Also, does any with experience doing body work have suggestions with regard to what to use to cut the spoiler with and what compound to use to reshape the parts that need to be smoothed up. I was thinking a dremel, various grit sandpaper, and bondo. Your input would be much appreciated.[/quote]
Edit:
Okay, it looks like I am moving forward with an interesting custom wing hack I've been inventing in my head and on photoshop (AKA photochop). I bought a fiberglass replica wing and have begun to mark it up with cut lines to guide me through the hack. I'm gonna have to teach myself the basics of fiberglass. It's sure to be a learning experience. I think it will be worth it in the end. This finished product will hopefully look like this:

Here is what I got so far. This is a fiberglass replica STi wing I bought used. It's very rigid and I have a feeling cutting this fiberglass is going to make a big mess. I plan on gearing up and covering my body with long sleeves, pantsface mask, eye protection, etc... Fiberglass is real bad stuff (although I smoked menthol cigarettes for a while and those contained fiberglass).
Anyway, here's the wing thus far. it's been separated from the top half of the wing and marked up (several times) for where I plan on cutting:

This definitly has me curious. Keep this updated. Do you have a link from the other member that did something similar? If he just unscrewed the top half Ive seen it. Good luck man.

He went through the hacking and repainting process but still had some spoiler hanging over the rear quarter panel. Here are all the pictures of the previous members hack and the link to his thread. Also, please refrain from commenting on his lifted suspension. This thread is about the wing.

that white car is rad looking. I like both of these wing chops though. more class than rice.
why are all those pictures "sponsored by: TURBOCIVIC.com"? seem inapropriate at best.

Different. Can't say that I like it but different.
| khail19 | 03-17-2007 09:33 PM |
I think your photoshop looks great. I like the limited spoiler, but I'd rather have it stick up a little more like yours. I like having the brake light on the wing better too.

IIRC some copany is already working on making a deck spoiler for those that wing near wingless but don't want to trade trunks. I think it was in one of garage spec's threads.

I would so buy that, but only if it were <$200.
| druxboyz | 03-18-2007 06:29 PM |
that white one's rear shot overhang screams rice already. so having the image hosted by turbocivic is a given. i like your idea of cutting that part off. good luck!
gonna make any more photoshops of rear and other views? side, above, direct rear.. etc

greater than $100. No problem. I'll sell it to you when I am done for $10,000.

you can't offer services in this forum, especially without a vendor account.
and you sure as hell can't offer services that are that ugly.
actually complete something first, i doubt you'll be able to get something that looks much better than that white one.

Round One, Hack inside the lines with a dremel:
[IMG]http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w128/s1mpsons/Spoiler%20Hack/070512_170825.jpg[/IMG]
Round Two, Fill it in the gap with some sloppy fiberglass:I started by mixing the resin and the liquid hardener. Then smeared the compound all over bunched up sheets of fiberglass and wedged them into the spoiler to fill the gap.
[IMG]http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w128/s1mpsons/Spoiler%20Hack/070512_170838.jpg[/IMG]
Round Three, Grind down the peripheral fiberglass and shape the edges/corners

Round Four, More Grinding and more fiberglass: I wasn't happy the way the corners were looking so I went to town with the dremel again. There really isn't much of a system here. I am learning as I go.

i guess if you can mass-produce it while it uses the STI spoiler mounting point
you can definitely attract a lot of those who don't like to BIG-WING look on their STI...
looks good so far

Round five. More Grinding, Sanding and Bondo: I spent 5 hours today finalizing the shape of the drivers side of the spoiler. I started by grinding down the new layers of fiberglass I laid down last time to create a more consistent shape. Then sanded and prepped for bondo. Let dry, sand, bondo, dry sand, bondo, dry, sand, etc...

I prefer the wingless look your original photochop looks awesome.
| the real suby dude | 05-16-2007 10:14 PM |
i cant wait to see it on the car ..the photochop of the blue one is sexy
| skate enjoi | 05-16-2007 10:24 PM |
hmmm i have an extra wrx spoiler laying around.... never thought of something like this
| quezanart | 05-16-2007 11:18 PM |
man this is a nice idea you got going here. I like the look of the photochops you've made, specifically the two on this page. Also, the pics of your progress so far looks great. Can't wait to see how your final version comes out and what it looks like on your car.
| ImportVenom | 05-16-2007 11:25 PM |
I'm impressed with your bondo'ing of the edges. I think that's the hardest part, getting a nice smooth edge. Even harder will be to make the left and right sides match. Good luck with this, and I bet it will look great when you're done.
| R6_rider | 05-17-2007 12:13 AM |
damn!!! lovin the pictures but crying inside becouse i want a sti spoiler and you chopped it into peaces

Update 5/17:
Round *I stopped counting*
I filled in the other side with more fiberglass and did some grind work with the dremel. After the fiberglass dried I did some bondo (mixed with fiberglass shards) to build up the general shape. Once that dried I went over it with 3 layers of fiberglass. Check out the pics. You can start to see the final shape of the spoiler.

Nice work, looks very similar to the spoiler on the 2008 WRX sedan.
| PS_REX | 05-18-2007 12:28 AM |
I think its going to come out pretty sick looking. Nice job so far...waiting to see how it comes out painted and mounted.

It looks like crap now, but in a year that will be a $7 million penthouse.

These are not OEM. This is a replica just to clarify. And yes, I do have the screws. PM me.

I threw it on my wingless trunk real quick to see how it looks in contrast to the body lines of the car and compared to my photochopped renderings.
Here you go...

I dig it... any idea when you're getting it painted? I really need to see final pics before I can make up my mind on it for sure. How much do you think you would sell these for if you did decide to?
| silver-RS | 05-19-2007 03:55 PM |
i think the best is just with the regular wrx wing or wingless look
but if the holes are need to be covered then your design is the way to go
about the design...i am not sure if you guys agree...from this angle
[img]http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w128/s1mpsons/Spoiler%20Hack/100_2066.jpg [/img]
the piece is too..."square-ish" right?

I tend to agree. I was looking at that picture for a good 5 minutes before posting these trying to decide if it was acceptable design. I believe the corners might need a little more work. I'll have to look at it again soon and decide if I should whip out the dremel.
With regard to price, I am not a vendor and I offically have no plans at the moment to produce this spoiler. But I suppose such pricing would be contingent on manufacturing costs. God knows what that costs.
