looks like you need to flip the lip around; if you look @ the tjin it starts thick and tapers to a thin edge.

this preliminary lip looks like the oem drag spoiler that came on the redlines

Gratsi. I know its completely different from the the Tjin style trunk but like I said I was just throwing around ideas on how best to approach this project. Seems like we are going to make a mold right on top of the trunk, no shaving or trimming from other spoilers!

the owner of the tjin car wasnt able to send in his trunk so you can make a mold of it? would make this so much easier for youz

Thick things need some lovin' too.. Honestly, this is what happens when I have too much free time on my hands, I am aware that it is too thick.. wayyy to thick, but I just wanted to get angle input.
Might get a closer look honestly with cardboard and some tape

No, he never got back to me. I was made aware that the tjin trunk that he had, had a few issues with the rear quarter panel getting scratched up a bit because of the wing. Regardless we would have had to make it all over again.

I was thinking something around this size/thickness. The angle is a little drastic for a Cobalt SS but I think this would be a good size. Of course JMO, ED are the experts definitely not me

does anybody on this forum even read? All he was asking about is if we liked the angle shown, that's nothing like what the real spoiler will look like.

Yeah I read it. I was just thinking about it today cause I was behind a G6 GXP (gross) but their hammerhead kinda flares out like the Tjin, just 20x bigger.
