I love the look of the duckbill on mannys car.. Im thinking no more wing, i like sleeper look..

Does anyone have an idea on how that will look on a coupe... by any chance, does it even exist.. Anyone with interest in making one...

ive been doin my own research on a duckbill style spoiler for my coupe for sometime now. ive been lookin at the universal trunk lip spoilers on ebay.

what i found was this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Painted-Mazda-6-2n...=item4aaf42921e

its a universal flexible lip that you can put on your trunk. now the mazda 6 trunk i almost the same size in length with our coupe trunks. (my friend has one and the measurements are close, i forget the length off the top of my head)

my plan was to just mold it to my trunk as desired and then simply paint it. i think it will look alright, i mean its not an exact "duckbill" spoiler but its the closet thing i could find. if anyone else has found anythin please feel free to inform us lol

Dude, as good as your dad is with bodywork, (although Iirc he don't like fg) i would ask him to help you make one, and then make a mold to make copies!
