that looks decent lol what kind of steering wheel is that? and did you guys have any problems hooking up the horn? i heard rumors that if you switch out the steering wheel .. you can't connect the horn.

thanks!

Looks shoddy. I hate seeing exposed screws like that. Should have tried more fab work to make it sit flush. Right now it looks like an afterthought.

Still looks shoddy. Look at the ends of the wing. They don't even follow the contour of the car.

Not bad for a quick mock-up, but definitely needs more time and work into it.

I've never seen anyone sell pre-made roof spoilers for del Sols. I've only seen people make them.

Hey; I don't know the sequence of how you assembled it, but if you were to screw it down first, then add the black strip to overlap on top of where the screws are, you would conceal all the installation hardware.

Like this...

He likes the attention by being a hard-***. Rarely do you see something positive from this type of person...

OP: Wing could use more work. Take some of the suggestions here and keep trying. I appreciate your effort for doing something a little different than the norm

C'mon with the name calling shall we? I gave an honest opinion. Too many sugar coated non-constructive compliments being dished out. Will it be better when he's finished? Probably. The effort as it stands right now? Shoddy. Don't post stuff like this and not expect BOTH positive and negative.

They're called rear window visors, at least on ek coupes/sedans they are. I've never come across any del sol ones though.

Looks ok on the black Del Sol posted above albeit I think the lack of tail wing looks disturbing. I'd hate to have a roof wing on my red Del Sol VTI with trans top - Craaaack, hehe. G'luck on your project, OP :-)

Visor or spoiler is correct enough (depending on if the intention is to block light or spoil the airflow), but "wing" is outright wrong.

yeah kinda not digging that rear window spoiler. looks like a crappy imitation of a duckbill, plus when you add the trunk spoiler it just adds a ricer effect to it. no disrespect intended
