does anybody know where to buy aluminum or plastic spoilers online? My bad if this question has already been answered but I did a search and didnt find anything. Even a scratch build would be nice.

It's for an hpi 911 turbo porshe body I was thinking of an aluminum double wing but I looked on ebay and what I could find was for real cars only, I fabricated some wings for now but as to if they'll hold up while i'm driving is another story

Any ideas for material to make your own custom spoiler?

well I made some wings out of the most common things I have namely venetian blinds and a plastic lid that I got from the chinese food place just to make the side wings then glued them together, got the pics just gotta post them

if your pic is too big crop it and lower the resolution.

oh btw I know some guys who made their own dual plate spoilers from carbon fiber plate stock, they look sick!

You cant really see it but I added a roof scoop and side skirts and the wings were made from venetian blinds and paperclips glued on the inside of the body. Sorry for how small it is I sized them up before at 900 width but it won't let me upload that much anyway comments are appreciated whatever they may be LOL :)

it shows. I really have respect for those that do that little something "extra" to seperate their cars from the pack. I have added lights, built wheels, ( well, modified wheels:D) and so on. my latest project is slated for the concourse competion in december, as i only got 2nd place this time....heheheheheheh. :p

the porsche that you saw has the lights and it had the blue underlights but I took them off. The car itself has dual exhausts that work (I know that I'm going to get flamed for this) RB Innovations supercharger two speed tranny aluminum front and rear shocks adjustable turnbuckles carbon fiber chassis upgraded brakes painted purple steering arms and I'm expecting some side mirrors and winsheild wiper sets soon hopefully

holy crap!!! man, get us some pics!!! You shouldnt get flamed at all! R/C is all about personality, and individuality.
I have done alot of things myself to mine that some may call "ricey" or whatever else term they would like to use, but, i like what i do, it makes what i do express more of who i am, and if they dont like it , thats their choice.
