I have seen that place, but on their site it seems a little pricey.

The parts for the motorized spoiler run $650.00 american from 20th street auto. But I found them for $500.00 from here

I know it's kind of old school but I still like this one and it only cost $ 350.00 http://www.creativecarcraft.com/_borders/ttpartwb.jpg

Hi

Im not sure how much downforce you will get with that movable wing, I think it would really help with air into motor

This is the beetle racing one that Im going to use on my car.

Has anyone done a study to see if any of these promote downforce?

All of them look too low on the Beetle's downsloping tail end to be effective to me (unless the downforce is more weight oriented than aerodynamics).

I like the looks of em... It doesnt bother me if it actually works or not. I love that 930 and Carrera and the GT-3 look. My dream is to own a 930 3.3 Liter one day....

My question on whether it was functional or not was not meant to be construed as a put-down or a put-down if the answer was no. I tossed the question out there because Steve C is a racer and we have other racers on this site, and I was hoping someone in the know would be able to satisfy my own curiosity. Anything read between the lines with my question is done with pure imagination.

Oasis I didnt take it in the least as a put down.. in fact...if someone did find out if it worked that would be great.
Steve and the guy with the Subaru engine that has a big wing could probably tell us. Im glad you asked actually... wasnt sure how to bring that up.
My only hope is that it doesnt INcrease lift in the rear.

I'm glad. I seem to have gotten under some people's skin lately for no legitimate reason and I have become overly sensitive about it.

Hi

The wing on the race car is the same as mine. The guy who owns the race car is Richard Holzl, he made the wing, he is big als dad and owns VForce racing/ Beetle racing .com

I dont have my car going yet but I expect to gain down force with the wing. The main reason that I fitted it was for cool air intake to air cleaner, it will reach the air cleaner via the side scoops.

Ok,I gave this a year before I posted to see if any progress was made in the spoiler on the red and silver cars on the first page,has anybody been able to do something similar on the bug?
