um....i really hope you know thats not a tc in that pic. And the "added downforce" bit on the ad would turn me away real fast

Agreed! The curve on the trunk in the picture is no where near that of a tC.

those spoilers are universal and sold on ebay. made of urethane they will curve and you trim it to fit the vehicle before you paint. very popular with bmw and audi

You could also buy an adhesive insulating strip from Home Depot and just slap that on the trunk of your car.

On the subject, you could also cut and glue a couple of spatulas to your front bumper.... BAM! Instand Canards!

Lots of that misterious down force, the one everybody is talking about but that nobody has actually measured neither have an idea if it works for real or not.

One of the few times I've seen a HUGE spoiler look good. :lol:

I tried to put one of those on and had no luck, here's the deal with them:

- They are cut and curved to fit specific cars, it is not one universal size.
- You cannot bend them, they are solid cored and about 1.5" wide, 3/4" tall. If you really wanted to try you might have luck given you have an oven large enough to fit it, which most people don't.
- I tried a couple months ago using one for a '04 corolla as they didn't make one for a TC yet. In short the length was fine but the curve was off by about 2" on either end.

Quality seems fine, a little sanding before painting. But unless this is actually made and fitted for a tc I wouldn't bother trying.

just my experience.
