Poor mans aero info on fabing up a spoiler?

Hi after carefull thinking I really am not happy with the overall size and downforce im getting from my current turbo tail and front spoiler and I was looking to do something a bit more aggressive. Has anyone ever tired something like this or fabed it up? I was thinking of using paper mache over some fiberboard. Let me know if you have any advice. Heres what im looking for...



Or maybe something along these lines...



With this style front spoiler and oil cooler location...



Also since its rear engine I was thinking some cooling holes like these...



Like I said its really up in the air right now but I am starting to see it come together.


For more ideas for your 911's own aero enhancements try here :

Please note this is not me trying to make fun of Jack or have any relevence or comparisons whatsoever towards his aerokit. Personally I love the new kit it just seemed like a fitting title to get you guys to actually look. No hard feelings Jack?

No hard feelings at all. I saw that page a little while ago, and I spit up my Dr. Pepper all over the CRT.

Careful using paper mache. It will melt in the rain. Better to use marine plywood and 10 gallon buckets of JB Weld.

Those are too funny. Especially the one with the feelers comming out of the hood. Must be trying to snag electric utility wires at intersections to power up his sound system.

I think the "feelers" you are talking about are actually a very very custom exhaust set up. Its just too funny I couldnt resist posting it.
