I thought I would get this one started over here, instead of con't over at the other web site.

First off this is just a design idea for right now.

It is a wide body version of the coupe for the most part.

Here is the Design logo I came up with for it.

Here are some rough layouts so far.

PS....We've been looking at adding a splitter some under aero directionals and a diffuser to our Coupe for some time....I've also had some discussions with some aero experts on expanding the spoiler to catch a bit of the spillover and put it to use....The Coupe is very stable at speeds through 150, but gets a bit twitchy in the front (searching) as you push into 160+....Working the aero to the next level would be awesome for sure.

Karen - go to the Design Aesthetics Mod.s Link http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?920-Design-Aesthetics-Mod.s
then take the link to the other site, and somewhere in my thread over their, there is a picture of my "Beaver Tail", might be kind of what you are looking for in a rear spoiler.

David,

That is a very unique and beautiful modification to the coupe body and looks to be very functional as well. I almost missed the front splitter, as it is so seamlessly integrated.

Thanks, those are just mock ups right now.

The biggest problem with a front airdam or air splitter is tilting the front end up, but I have been working on an idea to solve that....:)

I am looking a developing a splitter. I wouldn't have an piece of it lower than the lowest part of the nose. It won't survive a speed bump or going up a sleep driveway. That would also solve the tilting clearance problem. I'll post pics once I have my splitter mockup done.
